The first thing I want you to know about me is that I absolutely love what I do. I spent my early to mid-20’s in a job that really wasn’t meant for me. I wrestled with a lot of guilt, insecurity, and overall worry with deciding to leave behind my teaching career. So, now that I’m here, I aim to never take a day for granted. I am truly so dedicated to this field, and consider myself a life long learner. I’m so grateful for my career as a counselor, and I’m so grateful to you being here. As I went through my 20’s and discovered who I really am, I realized that I had been operating my entire life and making important decisions by comparing myself and seeking out other’s approval. I wasn’t living a life that was truly reflective of my own core values. I didn’t even know what my values were! This led to so much anxiety, an inability to make decisions on my own, feeling out of control and insecure, and turned to things such as food and/or substance to cope. Counseling has helped me manage my anxiety, uncover what I truly value in life, and understand my past traumas that kept me co-dependent. I want to help other young adults in their 20’s and 30’s who are ready to take the courageous step of facing your anxiety and feel in control of your life again. I work with young adults and couples dealing with anxiety, social anxiety, life transitions, co-dependency, career related concerns, poor body image, eating disorders/disordered eating, poor boundaries, poor relationship satisfaction, and trauma. I hope that my passion and desire to always be growing as an individual and a professional makes you feel valued, safe, and cared for.
