I work with children, adolescents, and young adults who are struggling with anxiety and depression, autism, and adjustment issues. I encourage my clients to take back their power and become their best selves inside and out! Expect to relax and have fun in session with me while we work through whatever you’re going through.
I am currently under the supervision of Jasmine Ferrill.

You feel burdened with everyday life
You have a hard time making friends
Your child is having behavioral challenges and you don’t know why
Your child has received an Autism diagnosis and you’re unsure of what to do next
Your child has is struggling and wants someone to talk to
Let’s get to the nitty gritty
Why did I become a therapist?
Having anxiety as a child made me want to teach others how to cope and live healthy productive lives while navigating their anxiety or other mental health needs. When I took an emotional and mental wellness course in college, I knew therapy was the right path for me.
What is it like being in a counseling session with me?
Being in a counseling session with me is insightful, relaxed and fun! Bring all your “stuff” and we’ll unpack it together. We’ll role play scenarios you’re struggling with so you can go into them confidently. I’m here for you every step of your journey and honored to be able to watch you grow.
What is my area of expertise?
I love working with children and adolescents ages five and up, and young adults. I believe mental health care is an essential part of our overall well-being. I encourage my clients to create healthy mental and physical habits so they can flourish in their daily life!
While the focus will be on you, here are a few things to get to know me:
I’m a Swiftie–Enchanted is my favorite song!
I find joy in taking walks outside, having my favorite coffee, and immersing myself in a good book.
Outside of sessions, you can find me spending time with my family and friends, painting, doing puzzles, or going to the gym.
