I am a Mental Health Counselor committed to helping college students learn how to be happier and healthier at college. My work focuses on therapeutic listening, practicing curiosity and compassion, and learning to approach life's challenges more skillfully. I utilize tools from my background in counseling, art therapy, and Yoga to help you feel better.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I have worked in various settings, such as colleges, schools, hospitals and community mental health centers. I have been certified in creative modalities such as play therapy and sand tray therapy. Recently, I have pursued continuing education in Positive Psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness & Meditation. In addition to providing counseling services, I have taught collegiate classes in topics such as Counseling, Psychology, Positive Psychology, Meditation & Mindfulness, and also a class on Flourishing that I traveled with to Copenhagen, Denmark. I have expertise in working with depression, anxiety, grief, and neurodivergence, among other issues and concerns.

I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings, including residential care, wilderness therapy, and private practice. I have gained a wealth of experience working with people at various developmental levels of life, and I understand the pivotal nature of your college years. My specialties include depression, anxiety, relationships, pornography & video game addiction, trauma, grief, relational conflict, couples, pre-marital counseling, suicidal ideation and self-harm.

I am the newest Therapy Intern at Hanover College and a graduate student in the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. After undergrad, I spent nearly 20 years in science education, sports marketing, and youth ministry where I served, played with, worked with, and managed youth and young adults. Those roles gave me plenty of experiences and skillsets to be helpful to the diverse student population at Hanover. I've also been trained in cases of trauma, suicidality and self-harm, health crises, sexuality and identity, abuse, and spirituality, among others. As a narrative therapist, I love to hear people’s stories and help clients reframe them for positive mental health growth and change.
