I believe strongly in being a safe place for you to bring your authentic self into counseling, without fear of judgment. Connecting with you genuinely is deeply important to me, and I believe that building trust is a crucial part of our therapeutic relationship. Counseling can be a little like farming - we work together to cultivate your field, digging out stones of beliefs, feelings, etc. that are in the way, and nourishing new growth by giving language and tools for the things you’re dealing with. You're an expert on you! My goal is to be a genuine, empathetic, approachable tool to help my clients thrive.

You bring many strengths, gifts, and resources into the counseling room. But when you’re struggling, those can be easy to forget. I want to help you discover your strengths and help them grow as we work together. I'd love to support you through the tough, painful parts of life. I won't try to fix you, but I will walk with you through it.

I graduated from Wheaton College with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC)  I've worked in underserved communities in the US and globally, on college campuses, and with international individuals and families navigating cross-cultural transition and trauma. As a counselor, I have several areas of focus that I enjoy working with and specialize in. I specialize in working with those who struggle with feelings of anxiety and perfectionism. Life transitions can be tough, even ones that we are excited about. My hope and goal is to help you navigate whatever you are going through so you leave feeling empowered to life a more joyful life.

What I do for fun:

In my free time, I like being in the mountains, going for walks with my husband, and waking up early to enjoy a good cup of coffee.
