Our Lake in the Hills Team

I'm here when you need someone to turn to for individual, family, or couples counseling. My areas of expertise include Emotional Struggles, Anxiety & Depression, Couples & Family, Improving Relationships and Communication, Life Transitions, Family of origin issues, Crisis/Trauma, Addictions, Co-dependency, Decision Making, and more.

I became a therapist because, during my time as a nurse, I saw how many people were struggling emotionally and mentally. They needed someone to listen and help them heal. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, women, and couples. I use CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based tools to help clients reframe negative thoughts, recognize patterns, and build real-life coping skills. I have experience helping clients with Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Trauma, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and more. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel empowered to grow, reconnect, and move forward.

I have considerable experience treating: Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Crisis and Trauma Issues, Codependency, Couples & Family Therapy, Decision Making Depression, Emotional Struggles, Grief, Improving Relationships, OCD, Panic Attacks, PTSD, and Women's Issues.

I’ve come to truly value the power of good counseling and strive to offer that same support to others. I have experience helping people work through Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Substance Use Disorder, and times of crisis. Together, we can navigate life’s ups and downs, build resilience, and improve your everyday life using effective, evidence-based approaches.

I am passionate about supporting clients who are exploring who they are and working toward goals that help them live authentically. I practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective and specialize in eating disorders, disordered eating, weight stigma, body image concerns, anxiety, complex trauma/PTSD, and working with the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe our identities and the systems we live in shape how we experience the world, and I strive to create a collaborative, affirming space where clients feel understood and empowered.
