I am passionate about helping adults navigate the relationships and seasons of life that shape who we are. I enjoy working with clients experiencing relationship concerns, communication challenges, life transitions, marriage struggles, divorce adjustment, anxiety, and trauma. 

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing life events. I am also a Certified SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) Facilitator and enjoy helping engaged couples build a strong foundation for a healthy, lasting marriage through premarital counseling.

My approach integrates Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based practice. I believe healthy relationships are at the center of a meaningful life and offer a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore challenges, develop new skills, and create meaningful change. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions and am happy to incorporate Biblical principles into the therapeutic process for clients seeking a Christian perspective.

Born and raised in Fort Wayne, I am a graduate of Bishop Dwenger High School and hold a bachelor's degree in psychology from Purdue University. I completed my Master of Social Work degree at Indiana Wesleyan University in 2025 and have clinical experience supporting couples, individuals, and families through transitions, communication barriers, emotional wounds, and trauma recovery.

I work alongside adults to empower them to effectively manage and address stressors, trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I strive to build a strong relationship based on trust and effective communication. It can be challenging to seek help, but therapy works!

My experiences as a therapist and a veteran allow me the unique ability to provide both a safe space and a forum to process underlying beliefs and behaviors that keep us from living our lives to the fullest. I employ a strength-based, trauma-informed approach when engaging with clients.

I work alongside my clients to empower them to take control of their lives wherever they are. As a therapist and a veteran, I work to meet my clients’ needs by empowering them to be the voice of their own change. We will work together to identify realistic goals in an environment free of guilt, fear, or shame.

I am passionate about helping those struggling with various addiction issues overcome them and reach their full potential. I utilize a variety of treatment techniques, including, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, as well as others; to empower my clients to combat their addictions and reach their desired goals. I offer various treatment modalities such as individual, group, and crisis intervention. My clinical experience, in addition to my personal life experience, places me in a unique position to be able to help others more effectively.

I believe we simply cannot continue to treat substance use with decades-old treatment methods and expect success. We must address addiction from multiple perspectives, ensuring a holistic and personalized recovery journey tailored to the needs of our clients. Through the integration of advanced therapies, I help empower individuals to break free from the grip of addiction and regain control of their lives.
