About My Clients

Sometimes we get stuck in life and need someone outside of our friends and family to help bring us out of that place. Together we explore the places where you're feeling stuck and work together to move towards a healthier way of being that fit the goals you have for your life. My special interests are in working with first responders, anxiety, communication issues, trauma, relational issues, self-esteem, and family of origin issues.

My Background and Approach

I graduated from Bethel Seminary with a MA in Marriage & Family Therapy and work from a relational lens. Meaning I place emphasis on past and present relationships if and how they are impacting you now. I am also a Master Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) clinician and use it regularly to help you achieve relief from symptoms more quickly. I have also taken multiple trainings specific to first responders to ensure I am offering competent services. My style is direct and authentic and I believe laughing can be just as healing as crying sometimes. I also offer financial coaching. We work together to figure out where your money is going, create money goals, and learn how to reach those goals with practical tips and solutions.
