Life difficulties can be challenging - but very positive outcomes can come from facing them. Transformation and healing truly do happen. They come from new experiences and insights, and getting support to try new behaviors in a supportive context. The wholeness of you is capable, unafraid, dynamic and alive - as you get more deeply in touch with your wholeness, things move. Compassion, understanding, and new growth arise.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Addictions Counselor as well as a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader. I maintain a holistic philosophy of counseling. The word "holistic" refers to the concept that each individual is composed of mind, body, and spirit, all of which are connected and influence the issues and concerns that you bring to counseling. For you to be successful in reaching your goals, it is important to be mindful of all three aspects--mental, physical, spiritual--and how they interact with each other and the environment in which you live and relate to others. I have experience working with a variety of clients and concerns and specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Christian Counseling and Coaching.

My passion is to help children and teens cultivate greater self-awareness, understanding, and acceptance so they may thrive in all areas of their life. By using mindfulness-based approaches and building a relationship grounded in playfulness and authenticity, I provide a safe, non-judgmental place where self-knowing leads to growth and well-being. I guide children and adolescents as they learn to explore their inner world, effectively express their feelings, thoughts, and experiences, and choose and utilize positive coping tools and skills for self-regulation. I want my clients to see and learn that it is OK and safe to be who they are - that their stories are sacred and their feelings and experiences matter.
