About me
I help individuals, couples, and families navigate relationship issues, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, life adjustments, and more.
Are you feeling stuck in survival mode? Are you losing hope that things will improve? Relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, and other life difficulties might have you feeling unsure of how to move forward. Together, we’ll uncover the root of what’s holding you back and build a path toward healing and growth. I see individuals, couples, and families and enjoy working with people in every stage of life.
As a marriage and family therapist I’m trained to consider how all aspects of life contribute to problems and solutions. This makes me especially well-suited to support you in relationship issues of all kinds. I'm also a Certified Grief Informed Professional with extra training in providing support through grief/loss.
I respect and support each client’s individual spiritual or religious beliefs. If spirituality is important to you, we can thoughtfully integrate it into your therapy in a way that aligns with your values and worldview.
You don’t have to face challenges alone. I provide a non-judgmental, empathetic, and safe space where you will feel heard and understood. I am committed to supporting you to create meaningful and lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with relationships or personal issues, I’m here to walk with you on your journey towards healing and growth.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation call. You can reach out to me via call/text at 208-391-3416.
