I am devoted to treating every client with kindness and compassion. My goal is to provide a warm, caring, and nonjudgmental environment so you can feel free to move toward healing and wholeness. I work with clients who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relational distress, addiction, premarital and marital concerns, codependency, grief, self-esteem, identity, and more.

I believe one of the most important, difficult things a person can do in their life is to heal and grow. The process of growing is often just as painful and confusing as it is beautiful; that is why having someone with a flashlight and a map to walk through that journey with you is invaluable. It would be an honor to journey alongside you in growth and healing.

I love working with couples to help them overcome the obstacles that prevent connection and unity. This includes repairing past hurt, establishing healthy boundaries with each other and with family, learning effective communication skills, overcoming individual and joint trauma, and more. At Waystone, I also collaborate with other therapists to support the whole family system in family therapy. I am passionate about helping families create an environment where each person is safe, seen, soothed, and secure. When families can move toward each other in this way, it activates the natural healing that exists within healthy familial connections.

My therapeutic approach incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), also referred to as “Parts work”. Because I was trained through the IFS Institute, I am also equipped to help clients “unburden” their parts, which leads to powerful healing and freedom. My approach to therapy is very person-centered and attachment-based, also combining elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems, and Brainspotting (a mind-body approach for processing deep emotions). 

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) under supervision with Lauren Dack. My Master’s degree is in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certification in Marriage and Family Therapy. Outside of my degree, I am trained in IFS (Level 1), Brainspotting (Phase I, Phase II, and advanced BSP with Parts), and EFT. I am also certified in PREPARE/ENRICH for premarital couples. For individual therapy, I work with adolescents and adults ages 16+. For family therapy, I work with adolescents and adults ages 14+.
