It's nice to meet you! It's a privilege that you are considering me to be your therapist. I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping teens and young adults suffering from depression and anxiety pursue peace through therapy.
SCROLL FOR MORE ABOUT ME
I have spent a majority of my professional career helping teens (13-18) navigate some of their hardest seasons. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) through talk-therapy, I aim to help them gain insight into who they are and confront the challenges keeping them from becoming who they want to be.
A great joy of mine is to walk with young adults (19-30s) through big life questions and circumstances as they learn to face the world. Stress, change, disappointment, victory, loss, and excitement exist simultaneously during those ages, so much so that it can become overwhelming. Through CBT, ACT, and a strengths-based approach, I aim to manage these experiences and build confidence/courage.
As a Christian myself, I provide a faith-based perspective that is grounded in truths derived from the Bible mixed with pragmatic and theoretical interventions/dialogue to achieve your desired outcomes. We can also incorporate prayer as needed.
If you do NOT wish to incorporate the Christian faith in therapy, no problem! We can discuss your preferences before we get started.

When I'm not in the office, you can probably find me hanging out with my husband, Kurt, and our two kids, Leo and Ari, at the dog park with our insanely cute dogs, Malcolm and Rue. Other things I enjoy doing: spending time with our friends over a good meal, traveling internationally, and binge-watching a good show (in moderation, of course). I love being on-the-go but also getting lost in the adventure of a well-written work of fiction. Music plays a huge role in my life, and I travel on the side with my twin sister leading worship.
