How I Work:
My philosophy is simple: I’m here to meet you where you are and support you while working toward the changes you want to see in your life. During our first session, we will complete an intake assessment where I’ll ask a series of questions to better understand your background, current concerns, and what you hope to gain from therapy. This process helps us build a clear direction for our work together.
From there, we will collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan with goals that feel both meaningful and manageable.
In sessions, I utilize DBT-informed techniques to support skill-building in areas such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are designed to help you navigate challenges more effectively and improve your overall mental and emotional well-being.
About Me
Outside of the therapy room, I spend my days with my partner, daughters, and our many pets. We love to travel, explore the outdoors, play games, and have movie nights. I'm a Harry Potter fanatic, and an avid reader.

How I Work:
With kids and teens, I start by focusing on connection and trust. If a young person doesn’t feel comfortable, nothing else really sticks, so I take time to build that relationship first. Sessions are structured enough to feel safe and predictable, but flexible enough to meet each child where they are on any given day.
Early on, I spend time getting a clear picture of what’s going on in their world - what they’re good at, what’s been hard, and what their day-to-day life actually looks like. That helps us set goals that feel realistic and relevant instead of overwhelming or disconnected from their reality.
I also work closely with parents or caregivers so that everyone is on the same page and we’re reinforcing the same skills outside of sessions. I pull from trauma-informed care and CBT, but I keep things practical and age-appropriate - things kids and teens can actually use in real life. A big part of my work is helping them understand their emotions, communicate better, and find healthier ways to handle stress, frustration, and relationships.
About Me:
Outside of work, I spend a lot of my time with my 4-year-old grandson and my puppy, Dixie, who may occasionally come to the office and add a little extra personality to the day. I value time with family and enjoy being active and present in their lives.

How I Work
Choosing therapy is a big step that can be scary, but it’s one of the best decisions you can make. In therapy, you will learn a great deal about yourself and gain insight into your situation. You will grow mentally, emotionally, and physically. I love encouraging my clients to recognize their full potential.
I assist my clients in achieving their life goals, navigating life transitions, getting their lives back on track, finding happiness again, and reducing symptoms related to mental health, trauma, and stress.
During our initial session, we will complete an intake assessment, where I will ask questions to get to know you better and understand the areas you would like to work on.
During the second session, we will develop a treatment plan to identify the goals you would like to achieve. From there, our sessions will focus on open communication, active listening, and mindfulness while helping you recognize your ability to create meaningful change.
Together, we will work on regulating emotions, managing stressors, overcoming symptoms, and finding a new way to live without feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
About Me
When I’m not in session, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and puppy. I love to laugh, shop, and travel. I also enjoy going to the movies and trying new restaurants.

How I Work
When coming to therapy, it can be overwhelming and intimidating. I want to be a support and a source of stability in the life of my client. We may not have all the answers, but we will work together to find a solution that helps you be able to live a better life.
I will help you learn new thinking patterns, ways to identify issues that are not being helpful to you, learn ways to empower and believe in yourself. We can learn how to live in a way in which we can respect ourselves, succeed, and gain awareness of what we truly need.
Sometimes we can gain clarity in our lives when we talk about our experiences and how they have impacted our lives and our thoughts. I truly believe that we begin to heal when we are able to communicate clearly in safe surroundings. Therapy is that first step.
I believe in supporting and respecting my clients, not judging them. You are the best judge of your life and what you need. I will support you and assist in identifying those needs. One step at a time, we can find a way to overcome and grow. We will learn what goals you have, what actions can be taken to attain them, and find ways to make them reality.
About Me
Outside of work, I spend time with my family. We like to go to games, the lake, shopping, and out to eat. I love traveling to new places and seeing new sights. I have a small greenhouse and I enjoy listening to audiobooks while I am gardening and landscaping. We also have a mini Goldendoodle and a Siamese cat.

Professional Background:
Education: Bachelor’s in Human Services & Counseling from Lindsey Wilson College
Certifications: Community Support Associate (CSA)
Experience: Several years of experience working in behavioral health, case management, and community-based support services.
Approach:
I want families to feel comfortable and respected when they walk into a visit. I try to create an environment that feels calm and welcoming, while still providing the structure and supervision required by DCBS.
I give families room to interact naturally while staying present and available when support is needed. If a difficult moment comes up, I help the parent work through it rather than immediately stepping in and taking over.
My goal is for parents to leave visits feeling like they had meaningful time with their children and, when possible, learned something they can carry into their next visit.
About Me:
Outside of work, you’ll find me either spending time with my family at a sports game, shopping at the local thrift stores, or reading my comfort books (aka, anything by Frieda McFadden).
