We are all on a journey. What we have gone through, the people who have shaped us, the choices we have made, and the direction we are going now are all a part of our journey. As someone who has benefited from counseling from a young age, I know how helpful it can be to invite someone else into your life to support you in sifting through the overwhelming pieces and to help make sense of it all. It can feel like a warm light is turned on in a place of hopeless darkness. We are not meant to take this trek alone, and it’s my overarching goal to help you move in a direction of growth, health, and peace for yourself and loving, healthy connection with others. If you feel like you are in a place where you are ready to move in this direction, whatever your specific goals may be, I would be honored to support you in this part of your unique journey.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Cross Cultural Studies and a minor in music from Simpson University in Redding, California, and a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Seminary. I have experience working with children and families who have experienced trauma and received a whole year of training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at the UC Davis CAARE Center. I have worked with children, individuals, and couples of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds who have sought counseling for a variety of struggles, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, disruptive behavior, ADHD, depression, anxiety, grief, and marital and pre-marital relationship issues.
