A Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) with over four years of experience working with individuals and couples through life transitions, relationship challenges, and periods of feeling stuck. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens in relationships and that meaningful change begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I began my career in a group practice serving a small, underserved community, where I worked with children, adults, couples, and families, and later continued my work with children and families impacted by the Kansas foster care system as well as in an adolescent psychiatric hospital setting. These experiences shaped my understanding of how early relationships influence the ways we relate to ourselves and others.

Therapy is my second career, a perspective that strongly informs my work. I originally earned a degree in business marketing and spent several years working in marketing and sales roles. While professionally successful, I felt unfulfilled and unsure of my direction. Through my own therapy journey, I gained clarity and ultimately returned to school at Friends University, where I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Starting over taught me an important lesson I now share with clients often: you are never stuck. Even when things feel overwhelming or uncertain, there are always new perspectives and ways forward.

I work primarily with adults and couples who may appear “fine” on the outside but feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure on the inside. The core values of my practice is to create a space that feels safe, thoughtful, and authentic that allows my clients to slow down, reflect, and better understand themselves with compassion. Whether you’re new to therapy, noticing repeated relationship patterns, or wanting to deepen your understanding of yourself or your partner, I’m here to support you at your pace.

I look forwards to the opportunity to hear your story!
