Therapist’s Statement
I have found my clinical strengths lie in working with women of all ages, as well as kids and teens ages 12 and up. I love getting to know each of my clients and offering a safe, welcoming space where they can share their stories. My goal is for every person who walks into my office to feel heard, valued, and significant. I want the counseling experience to be free from judgment—a place where clients can be open and receive tools to support them in whatever season of life they are in.
My faith in a loving and personal God shapes the way I counsel. It allows me to extend His compassion and wisdom as I walk alongside clients facing life’s challenges. My hope is that each session leaves them feeling encouraged, strengthened, and more at peace.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our four children. We love relaxing at the lake and being out on the water. We also cherish time with our extended family and close friends.
