My Story

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist specializing in working with clients who struggle with eating disorders and women’s issues. My therapeutic approach includes various modalities with a particular focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client Centered. Valuing each person’s unique story, I customize treatment to fit my client’s needs and goals. In doing so, I integrate interventions from additional therapy approaches.

​

My experience includes working for local school districts, probation department, Boys & Girls Club, as well as an Eating Disorder treatment center at both Partial-hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families who struggle with a variety of different issues in both individual and group settings. 

​

On my off time, I engage in another passion of mine - basketball. As a former college athlete, I enjoy being on the court and now have the privilege to coach high school girls varsity basketball. 

​

My office is a safe place where my clients are seen, heard, and known. It’s a place where you’ll find hope and support. I welcome you to come and feel peace - peace in knowing you aren’t alone. No matter what season of life you’re in, I will help restore and uplift you while healing from whatever is holding you back. I love what I do and am passionate in helping the community. I understand that seeking therapy isn't easy but I hope to inspire, encourage, and empower you through the process! 

“I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace as you trust in him. Then you will have more and more hope, and it will flow out of you by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 5:13
