I am passionate about helping individuals realize that they have the ability to choose growth and freedom. I enjoy helping individuals find their identity, self confidence and the greatness within themselves that will allow them to achieve the growth that they want. I have experiencing helping individuals with depression, anxiety, life transitions, spiritual issues, grief and trauma work. I work primarily with adults.

I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but have difficulty changing, often related to early trauma, complex family dynamics, or relationships. You may find yourself disconnected from yourself or others, struggling with shame, boundaries, people-pleasing, or a sense of who you are. Together, we can slow down, get curious about what’s happening, and explore what might be possible.

I have 26 years of experience working in an elementary school as a teacher and counselor. I am familiar with the school setting and can help children and parents navigate school situations that include evaluation for learning disabilities, academic testing, organizational skills, time management, course selection for secondary students, executive functioning skills, and peer relationships.

In my time as a counselor, I have helped children in a variety of situations including changes in family dynamics, divorce, blended families, death of a loved one, suicide of a family member, preparation for a funeral, life changes due to illness, abuse, etc.

Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.
