We all encounter times in life when shadows loom large. In those moments, we need someone to walk beside us and help us see the light that is always there. I’ve lived through a variety of challenging experiences, and I know how much that support means. I decided at the age of 12 to be a counselor, and I never wavered from that path, no matter how the shadows fell. I’m passionate about helping others find the light within and see it around them as they move through and overcome their shadows. Working with children and teenagers is especially close to my heart. I use many tools in therapy, which allows me to customize treatment for the person in front of me. If you’re struggling to find the light and need someone to walk beside you, please reach out. We weren’t made to walk this path alone.
