My Journey to Becoming a Therapist…

My path toward becoming a counselor has been shaped by both my personal experiences and my deep passion for understanding people’s stories. Through seasons of growth, challenge, and self-discovery, I’ve come to believe that healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted.

I know how meaningful it can be to have a safe space to process life honestly, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside others in that process.

I strive to create a counseling environment that feels warm, grounded, and compassionate, where clients can explore their emotions, experiences, relationships, and identity without fear of judgment. My hope is to help people grow in self-awareness, develop healthier patterns, and move toward healing and wholeness in every area of life.

When I am not doing therapy...

Outside of counseling, I love spending time with my nieces and nephew, hiking in Colorado, going to concerts, and cheering on Nebraska Cornhuskers football on game days.

I’m also an avid reader and can usually be found with a memoir or a Victorian novel nearby. I deeply enjoy meaningful conversations, a good latte, and the kinds of moments that help people feel connected and grounded.

It takes courage.

Having the courage to reach out for therapy is a big step. And once you decide you’re ready, searching through pages of therapist can feel overwhelming enough to make you wonder if it’s worth it.

I recognize how vulnerable this can feel, and I want you to know what it’s like to work with me.

I have always been drawn to people’s stories, the experiences, relationships, struggles, and hopes that shape who they are. Counseling gives me the opportunity to create a space where clients can process those stories honestly while discovering new ways to heal, grow, and move forward.

I believe each person carries inherent worth, resilience, and the capacity for change, even in seasons that feel overwhelming or uncertain. My role is not to “fix” people, but to come alongside them with empathy, curiosity, and support as they navigate life’s challenges. Together, we can explore patterns, build coping skills, deepen emotional awareness, and work toward meaningful growth and healing.

In our work together, you can expect a welcoming and collaborative environment where authenticity is encouraged. Therapy can hold both deep emotions and moments of lightness, and I believe both are important parts of the healing process.

Your story is full of purpose and meaning. You were created with a deep capacity for change and an innate ability to heal—let’s uncover a new meaning together.

Therapy isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about feeling more like yourself again.

You may begin to notice that the things that once felt overwhelming don’t have quite the same hold on you. You have more space to respond instead of react, more clarity about what you need, and more confidence in your ability to navigate the changes.

Together, we’ll create a space where you can say the things you’ve been afraid to say out loud without judgement or shame.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you come. We’ll start where you are and work from there together.

What to Expect

First, we’ll have a consultation call to assess whether we’re the right match for working together. I’ll ask about the reasons you’re reaching out at this time, your current challenges, and your objectives for therapy.

During the intake session, you’ll discuss your desired goals and outcomes for therapy. I regard the therapeutic relationship as a sacred space, and I aim to create an environment where clients can freely express themselves in each session.

Therapy will include moments of deep reflection, as well as, moments of laughter and celebration. It’s a journey filled with ups and downs, and every individual deserves guided support for a fulfilling experience. Each person has a unique story worth sharing and the potential to be rewritten. Sessions are client-focused, and I strive to be flexible and creative in tailoring the experience to your needs and desires. The goal is to collaborate strategically to help you grow and thrive in your life.

Healing that lasts.

You’ve been wondering what life would feel like without the overwhelm, anxiety, sadness, and disconnect. This can be a place where you don’t have to hold it all together. You don’t have to spend the rest of your life managing the same patterns, carrying the same shame, or wondering why certain things still feel so hard.

You can bring the messy parts. The resentment. The grief. The anxiety. The things you’re embarrassed to say out loud. The parts of life you love and the parts that have left you wondering, “Can I really do this?”

Life transitions have a way of bringing old wounds and beliefs to the surface. I believe lasting healing comes from understanding what’s underneath what you’re experiencing, and not just learning how to cope with what’s happening on the surface. Together, we can make sense of what’s happening and create space for something different.

I take a person-centered, narrative, and emotion-focused approach to therapy. I emphasize empowerment, healthy boundaries, and self-care, helping you learn how to love yourself while showing kindness to others. I also believe that the trust and safety we build in our sessions can serve as a model for healthy relationships in your life outside of therapy.

It’s the right time to choose you. Let’s explore what healing really feels like in your life. There is hope, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in this journey.
