I'm a Midwesterner at heart who made Southern Nevada home in 2009. I earned my bachelor's degree in Social Work from The Ohio State University and my master's degree in Social Work from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Throughout my career, I've worked in a variety of settings with people from many different backgrounds and life experiences. Those experiences have shaped the way I show up as a therapist. I strive to create a space where every person feels respected, understood, and welcome, regardless of culture, race, gender, identity, or life story. I know I won't always get it right, but I believe it's important to stay curious, listen openly, and repair when I miss something.

My approach to therapy is experiential. Rather than only talking about your experiences, we pay attention to what is happening within you as it happens. Together, we'll notice the emotions, body sensations, thoughts, and relationship patterns that often operate outside of awareness and quietly shape the way you move through life. As we begin to understand these patterns, you'll have opportunities to experience yourself differently, opening the door to meaningful and lasting change.

When I’m not in therapist mode, you’ll find me chasing sunsets, roller skating, hiking in the mountains, or snapping photos of the things that make life beautiful. I love dogs, being near water, and spending time with my favorite people.
