Embracing the stories of others and meeting folks where they are is at the heart of everything I do. Counseling for me is a journey while in a therapeutic relationship with a trusted other. I value and honor each part that shows up, and welcome whatever comes in the moment. Through a person centered with attachment-focused approach, I come alongside others to assist navigating whatever brings them into the counseling room. I love using expressives, and other techniques and modalities, to incorporate deeper meaning making in the process. I graduated with my Masters in Counseling from Eastern Mennonite University in 2011, and I also have a trauma certification from the Ferentz Institute of Advanced Psychotherapy Training and Education. I did community counseling in homes and schools for 13 years before I got back to my roots of outpatient counseling. I love meeting with ages 8 and up. I have experience working with families, children/adolescents with life struggles, trauma, prenatal and postnatal concerns, women's issues, perimenopause/menopause struggles, anxiety, life transitions, care taking for others, chronic illness, LGBTQIA+, juvenile delinquency, and parent child relationship struggles to name a few. I have been living in Harrisonburg since 2009, and love all the close community connections and relations that come with living in the valley. I enjoy walking, baking, traveling, and hanging out with friends, family, and my dogs in my spare time.
