About My Clients

I enjoy working with children, teenagers, and adults from a variety of backgrounds. I have experience working with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relational issues, life transitions, and trauma.

My Background and Approach

I received my Master of Arts in Counseling degree from MidAmerica Nazarene University. While I tend to incorporate person-centered, psychodynamic, family systems, and attachment theories into my work, I am also open to including other theories and techniques in sessions. Each client is unique, and I tailor my approach to fit your needs and goals. I have also received training in sandtray therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I know what it’s like to be a client myself, so I want to acknowledge the courage that it takes to reach out for help. I truly love this work and count it a privilege to be able to sit with clients and listen to their stories.
