Hey There

“The things that make me different are the things that make me”

Who knew a little bear in a red shirt could be so inspiring to those who need it. This little bear and his friends guided me through trials and struggles and now I am here to do the same with you. I am here every step of the way to laugh with you, cry with you, grow with you, and challenge you to become the best version of who you want to be. I will sit in the mud with you or climb the tallest mountain of your trauma with you. The therapeutic journey is one we will take together, and I know just trying to figure out where to start is sometimes the hardest part. Let’s start together and create a road map of what YOU want in therapy. This is YOUR journey after all.

​

Why journey with me? My desire to help individuals stems from watching family members and friends struggle with mental health and/or addiction and not being able at a younger age to help in any capacity. My firm belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard and grow from their own past and not feel outcasted or ashamed about it. I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of mental health diagnosis in various settings which leads to me wanting to help those who want the help and those who feel they are not worthy of help because yes you are worthy of help. My passion is helping children and teens thrive through breaking down all the barriers in their way of being successful through use of play, harm reduction, and talk exploration of struggles.

I work with children, teens, women, couples, families, and addiction.
