I believe that healing happens through authentic connection, curiosity, and the courage to create a different story.

 

I earned my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University, along with a graduate certificate in Addiction Treatment and advanced training with an emphasis in Play Therapy.

 

My clinical foundation was built through several years of community mental health work, where I had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating complex life challenges.

 

Since entering private practice in 2023, I have continued to help clients move from surviving to thriving by combining evidence-based therapeutic approaches with warmth, creativity, and genuine human connection.

 

My work is grounded in Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and play-based interventions that honor each person's unique strengths and experiences.

 

Whether I am working with a young child through play, supporting a couple rebuilding connection, or helping an individual rediscover hope, my goal is always the same: to create a safe, collaborative space where meaningful and lasting change can occur.

 

Beyond my professional life, I am most proud of being the mother of three incredible grown children. Becoming a mother at a young age shaped the therapist I am today, teaching me resilience, compassion, and the profound importance of healthy relationships. Those life experiences, together with my professional training, continue to influence the way I show up for every client—with authenticity, curiosity, and deep respect for each person's journey.

​

It is an honor to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families as they rediscover their strengths, reclaim their stories, and build lives that reflect who they truly are.
