My goal is to create a compassionate space dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges and work towards emotional well-being. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, or simply seeking personal growth, my hope is to create a space that is safe, non-judgmental that allows you to explore your feelings, goals, and values to work towards a more fulfilling life. I offer a personalized client-centered approach and work with individuals, couples, and families. Together, we will work towards healing and empowerment.

I earned my Bachelors of Psychology through North Central University and my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Abilene Christian University. I am currently working towards becoming a LMFT. I specialize in supporting individuals and families through a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ASD, ADHD, and phase of life transitions. Through my degree, I have also developed a deep understanding of the unique stressors that come with military life and impact military families on a daily basis.

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel difficult, but it is also a powerful act of self-care and courage. If you are ready to explore how therapy can help you build a path towards healing and growth, I invite you to reach out and get started with me. Together, we can create a safe space for you to heal and grow.
