Our Rockford 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.

My passion lies in working with children, teenagers, adolescents, and young adults. I help clients who deal with trauma, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, and self-harming behaviors.

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.

I believe all stories are meant to be heard and understood, and I am looking to meet with clients who have a story to share! I work with individuals (ages 4 and up) and couples. With special interests in grief, addiction, depression, anxiety, and anger, my approach is person-centered and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that every individual has the capacity to grow and heal. I welcome everyone from all walks of life, from faith-based backgrounds, to the LGBTQIA+ Community. I am a graduate-level clinician specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I strive to create an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges.

I work with clients experiencing stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other emotional challenges, while creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where they feel heard and empowered.
