Our Counselors

Life can be difficult and at times the challenges we face feel impossible. No one should walk through life’s challenges and hardships alone. Everyone deserves a chance to break free from the emotional weight. The decision to attend therapy takes courage and is the first step toward change. Therapy is a place to explore thoughts, behaviors, and emotions with acceptance and support. My passion and approach are with great empathy to help those in need. I provide a safe and nurturing environment for healing and transformation. I believe happiness within ourself can strengthen relationships throughout our lives. I understand individuals may struggle or feel uncomfortable through the healing process. Building trust and a strong rapport is at the core of my practice. I work collaboratively and uniquely to help process emotions and experiences to reach established goals. My therapeutic style is centered around compassion, trust, and respect. My goal is to provide a space for clients to be heard, experience healing, and feel empowered. 

I believe each person has a unique story and experiences which impact our daily lives. I integrate mindfulness and self-care into my practice. My education and training have exposed me to multiple theoretical approaches. However, I look to apply an approach tailored and customized to meet the needs of the client(s). I gravitate toward experiential, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, and humanistic/existential; however, my experience has provided exposure and knowledge with cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT) approaches. I enjoy working with individuals, adolescents, and couples. My specialties include working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, decreasing shame and guilt, trust, emotional processing, trauma, and effective confidence building; as well as, other issues.

I am committed to the journey and will walk alongside you as a support, life coach, and mentor. I look forward to working with you.

To summarize comedian Taylor Tomlinson, therapy is like arm floaties: it provides you the tools and skills to help navigate the pool of life. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental, healing environment where you will be met with empathy and we will collaborate to identify, set, and meet your goals. I am passionate about working with individuals that are struggling with anxiety, phobias, negative thoughts, or have experienced trauma in their life. That being said, I am excited to help anyone that is ready to start their therapeutic experience! I take an integrative approach using Cognitive Behavioral, Brainspotting, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, TEAM therapy (Level 1), psychoeducation, Family Systems, Gottman therapy, person-centered techniques, and more. I have an eclectic background and practice with the belief that everyone is unique and that you are the expert in your own life. I believe in leveraging your strengths, empowering you, and eventually helping you take off the arm floaties and lead a life of well-being.

Life can feel messy at times, and the struggles we face often feel like more than we can handle on our own. Reaching out for support is a brave step, and I believe no one should have to navigate those struggles in isolation.

As a student counselor, I offer a space where you can be yourself without judgment. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion and empathy, helping you uncover your strengths and support you in finding the tools you need to achieve your goals. 

Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you, creating goals that are meaningful and achievable. Whether you are working through anxiety, depression, stress, or simply wanting a stronger sense of balance in life, I am committed to helping you find clarity and hope along the way.

Above all, I want you to feel safe, heard, supported, and empowered. Your story matters, and I would be honored to walk with you as you take the next steps with counseling.
