I am passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. My approach is to create an authentic and individual relationship with my clients so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and hopes without judgment.
Welcome! I have over 11 years of experience successfully assisting clients navigating a variety of challenges. I have been on both sides of the therapeutic process as a client, parent, spouse and provider. I know firsthand the powerful and positive impact therapy can have in our lives.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), who is trained in Play Therapy and Autplay Therapy, which is a specialized therapeutic approach for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, ADHD, sensory differences, social anxiety, learning differences, and other developmental or physical disabilities. It is neurodiversity-affirming, meaning it values the unique strengths of each child while addressing areas of challenge in a supportive and inclusive manner. AutPlay Therapy is designed so that parents are not just observers but active, trained “co‐therapists” who work alongside the child and the therapist to meet therapy goals at home twccllc.net. This collaborative approach ensures that the child’s progress is sustained beyond the therapy session, creating a “Co‐Regulation Loop” where parents and children regulate emotions and behaviors together.
With adults or couples, I take a holistic approach to counseling that looks at the mind, body, and spirit. I integrate spiritual practices into my counseling sessions by creating a safe and open space for clients to explore their beliefs and values. My aim is to assist you in overcoming life’s challenges and achieving your fullest potential by exploring deeper meaning and purpose in your life. I use a mix of different methods to tailor my approach to each person, creating a supportive and empathetic environment for growth and healing. My diverse experience helps me connect with people from all walks of life.
Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, spending time with my pups, serving at my church’s Youth Ministry, and staying active with CrossFit. These activities keep me balanced and fulfilled, and I bring that energy into my counseling practice.
I work with clients presenting with a variety of concerns, but work primarily with family history and attachment patterns showing up in the present. Many of my clients come in for current stressors, and find they also need help with developmental trauma.
Clients are welcome to book the first available consultation time on my calendar. I will reach out upon booking to confirm our time, and will offer something sooner if it is available.

Relationships can change over time but feeling disconnected doesn't have to be the end of the story.
I work with adults who want to better understand themselves and create healthier, more connected relationships. I have a particular interest in supporting people in long-term relationships who are navigating communication challenges, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, changes in intimacy, or the feeling that they’ve become more like roommates than partners.
Therapy can be a space to slow down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. Together, we'll explore self-worth, communication, emotional and physical intimacy, boundaries, conflict patterns, emotional regulation, and coping skills. We’ll also look at how past experiences and beliefs about yourself may influence the way you communicate, connect, set boundaries, or respond when you feel hurt or misunderstood.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I integrate CBT, mindfulness, acceptance-based approaches, and trauma-informed therapy to help you develop greater self-awareness and the tools to create meaningful change.
You don't have to wait until your relationship is falling apart to seek support. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, with your partner, and with the kind of relationship you want to create.
