I believe that meaningful change begins when people feel deeply understood. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and fully themselves—without fear of judgment or shame.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Capella University in 2007. Over the past two decades, I have specialized in helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of relationships, intimacy, sexuality, trauma, and personal growth. My work is grounded in systems therapy, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based treatment, while recognizing that every person's story is unique.

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I help clients understand the patterns that developed over a lifetime—their relationships, family systems, nervous system responses, beliefs, and experiences that continue to influence them today. Together, we work toward creating lasting change that feels authentic, sustainable, and aligned with your values.

I don't believe therapy is about becoming someone else. I believe it's about understanding yourself well enough to become more fully who you've always been.

Each of us carries threads that have been woven throughout our lives—our relationships,
experiences, strengths, wounds, values, and ways of surviving. Sometimes those threads become tangled, and it can be difficult to see the whole picture or imagine a different path forward. Therapy offers the opportunity to slow down, make sense of those patterns with
compassion, and gently begin weaving them into something new.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship conflict, sexual concerns, betrayal, or major life transitions, I strive to provide a calm, collaborative space where healing can occur and where you can begin building the life and relationships you truly want.
