“From a young age, I knew that helping people cope with and heal from the chaos of life would somehow be intertwined in my profession. I started out in an education program, hoping to become a teacher, but always ended up talking with one or two kids in the classroom about their worries and fears. I knew at that point a major shift was in order and thus began my counseling career.
I tend to look at the big picture and see families as interconnected. Therefore, I understand that each member of the family unit is impacted by illness (physical or mental), stress and/or chaos in any one member of the family. Working from a conceptualization of family systems does not mean that I only work with families, but rather this is the lens through which I view the things you are dealing with. I work with individuals and couples on how to feel alive again, connect with one another and stand back up after being knocked to the ground. As a Type 1 diabetic myself, I understand how frustrating, confusing and exhausting it is living with illness every day. I love working with families that are dealing with illness in the family, as they navigate through all those emotions and figure out their new “normal”, how to support each other without losing themselves and how to push through even when they don’t want to.
I am passionate about what I do. Helping people is a part of who I am. I am not your typical therapist, however. I am a neurodivergent therapist, imperfect parent of two boys, a survivor of intimate partner violence, LGBTQIAA, a wife and a proud entrepreneur and business owner. You will often find me in ripped jeans and flip flops, curled up in my chair with my coffee. I will treat you as I would anyone else in my life I care about. I will call you out when you need called out and I will push you when you need to be pushed. I will also stand beside you and walk with you through the muck of life and help you make some sense of it all. I will not, however, show up in my suit and sit on my throne and pretend to know everything. I have been on your side of the room (client’s chair), I have been desperate for answers, I have been paralyzed by fear and I have been in so much pain I wasn’t sure which way to turn. I will sit right there with you through it and together, we will find some hope. If you can’t find it, I will lend you my hope for your healing until you discover your own. Often, the pain and conflict will lessen and I will be honored that you allowed me to be a part of it.”
