Taking the first step toward therapy requires courage! I believe that courage deserves to be met with warmth, respect, and genuine care. As a mental health therapist, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change.

I approach therapy with unconditional positive regard and a strong belief in collaboration. Each client brings their own values, goals, culture, and life experiences, and I take time to truly understand what matters most to you! Together, we create a personalized treatment plan that honors your strengths, addresses challenges, and supports growth at a pace that feels right for you.

I hold a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Concordia University.  My professional experience & specialized training prepare me to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of concerns.

I have formal training in trauma-informed therapy and work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger management, interpersonal conflict, personality and mood disorders, codependency, addiction within the family system, abuse and neglect, bullying, and life transitions. If you feel “stuck” in difficult relationship patterns or overwhelmed by external stressors and limited resources, let’s work together to create your goals & strategies to meet them.

In addition to therapy, I help clients access practical resources such as community assistance programs, support groups, and career counseling services when appropriate. I’m especially passionate about helping clients set healthy boundaries, strengthen relationships, and create a greater sense of safety and wellbeing in their lives.

My approach is informed by clinical training, as well as lived experience. I understand how anxiety, pressure, and unclear boundaries can impact daily life & relationships. I believe change is possible through compassionate support, healthier thought patterns, and meaningful connections.

Outside of work, I am a wife and mother who finds nature, animals, and movement a big part of my self-care & stress management routines. I enjoy walking with my dog, spending time with family and friends, and practicing self-care through reading, writing, biking, strength training, and mind-body classes. Creative outlets such as knitting, scrapbooking, and tending to a summer vegetable garden help me stay balanced and present in my work & personal life.

If you are seeking a therapist who is warm, collaborative, and deeply invested in your growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
