Maybe you're the person who looks like they have it together. You're capable, dependable, and good at taking care of everyone else, but underneath you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure of what you actually need. Maybe you've spent years being the strong one, the perfectionist, the caretaker, or the person who keeps moving forward no matter what. You know how to function, but you're not sure how to feel.

Or maybe you're at a point where the ways you've always handled life aren't working anymore. A relationship has changed. Something from your past is catching up with you. You're questioning who you are or what you want. You understand yourself on an intellectual level, but that understanding hasn't necessarily made it easier to change.

If any of this sounds familiar, you don't need to have the right words for what's happening or know exactly what you need. You can start here. Bring what you're carrying, and we can slow it down together, make sense of it, and begin to understand what has been happening beneath the surface.

If you're ready to understand yourself differently and not just manage what's happening on the surface, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation.

My role is not to tell you who you should become. It’s to help you better understand yourself so that you can respond with greater clarity, confidence and self–compassion. As a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, I work primarily through an IFS model, helping you become curious about the different parts of yourself and understand what they may be trying to protect. I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based principles when it is helpful.

While I work with adults from all backgrounds, I have a particular interest in helping individuals heal from relational trauma, including those whose past experiences have made trust and vulnerability feel difficult. I approach that responsibility with humility and care, understanding that a consistent, respectful therapeutic relationship can become an important part of the healing process.

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. Before becoming a therapist, my first career was in horticulture and industrial agriculture. Looking back, it’s not as different from counseling as it might seem. Both have taught me that lasting growth can’t be forced. It happens when the right conditions are created.
