I am counselor and former educator. I believe that you are the expert on your life and that my knowledge and experience that can support you in accomplishing your goals.
I want to be a catalyst for positive change in the world by supporting clients in building fulfilling and meaningful personal lives so that as they engage with their communities they can impact the world in positive ways. I have a particular passion for working with young adults to improve their knowledge and skills, address problems, and build confidence as they begin building their lives.
I got my MS from Kansas State University in 2013. Since that time it has been my honor to serve in diverse communities across several states.

I believe in a collaborative, client-centered approach that respects your unique experiences and needs. My goal is to help you find clarity, build confidence, and take actionable steps toward your goals. I combine evidence-based techniques with a compassionate, flexible style, ensuring that therapy is tailored to your personal journey.
I operate my practice with ethical and moral integrity. I try to go beyond the professional requirements in order to foster your ability to believe that I honor your autonomy and confidentiality. It is important that you know that everything I do in the course of business is with your best interests in mind.
I strive to maintain orderly and predictable business practices that are clearly communicated and practiced with consistency. At the same time, the human experience is unpredictable and I work with flexibility to allow space for whatever life throws at us.
In my practice we work together to shoulder the responsibilities of change. I focus on being open-minded and inquisitive for the purpose of guiding you through the therapeutic process of growth. Together, we identify your personal goals and then let curiosity guide us to discovering tailored interventions that help them be achieved.
I believe that you are whole and powerful. A person seeking counseling services often doesn’t feel like they have any power or control over their situation. It is for this reason that I work to help you build confidence and connect to your personal power through action.
I am committed to working with clients of all identities and characteristics to create a space for therapy that is safe and welcoming in the manner that is best for them. I strive to be respectful and affirming of the identity and culture of each of my clients. I am comfortable with conversations related to privilege, prejudice, oppression, marginalization, and discrimination. I believe it is particularly relevant to therapy to examine the systems and social/cultural experiences that impact my clients. I am serious and intentional about honoring my professional ethics and personal values to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. I achieve this goal through ongoing learning and engagement in community.
