I'm passionate about good TV shows, my family, and mental health! I specialize in stress and anxiety, depression, family issues, relationships, life transitions, codependency, and sexual intimacy issues. Having grown up in a family of six kids, I've also focused on getting specific training to work with families and couples, with a special emphasis on family of origin trauma. I'm a licensed professional counselor associate, supervised by Jenee Dusza, LPC-S.
​
I love helping teens and young adults make sense of their mental health, and guide them through transitions. Let's face it, school, friendships, and family can have their own challenges, and sometimes having someone to help you walk through it makes all the difference. I also specialize in helping women navigate rebuilding relationship safety after sexual assault, narcissistic abuse, or other forms of relational trauma.
