How I Can Help You
As a counselor and seasoned Game Master, I bring a unique blend of empathy, creativity, and strategic thinking to our sessions. My goal is to create a supportive and caring space where you can discover who you truly are and achieve your goals. I frequently work with individuals and partners navigating a range of challenges, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and relationship difficulties. By utilizing a combination of Parts work, Person-Centered and Existential therapies, along with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) techniques, I guide you toward emotional healing and personal transformation.
I have a deep love for working with couples and those in ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships. Enhancing communication through connectedness is central to my approach, helping partners understand and support each other more deeply. I also love working with children because they teach me the power of being your whole self and existing in the present moment. Additionally, I adore working with parents to overcome societal pressures and parental guilt. You're doing the best you can, and I'm here to help you move from survival mode into a state of regulation and well-being.
Whether we’re exploring the depths of your psyche or embarking on an epic quest in a fantasy realm, I am here to support you every step of the way.
Calling All Gamers!
Are you a gamer, whether online or tabletop, looking for a counselor who truly understands your world? My passion is working in gamer mental health, reaching a community that often feels unseen and unsupported. I understand that stepping outside your comfort zone, beyond the controller or keyboard, can be terrifying. That's why I offer telehealth sessions to meet you halfway. I firmly believe in the power of gaming to lift us up and help us better understand ourselves. Together, we can use the skills and insights from your gaming experiences to navigate your real-life challenges. Let’s embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth together.
Remember, the first steps toward understanding and accepting your personal truth are crucial to finding fulfillment in your life. Let’s make your next adventure the most rewarding one yet.

Before moving to Fort Wayne to pursue my Master's Degree at PFW, I lived in Boston, Massachusetts. I have a deep love for learning and a desire to better support those in need. Each person I meet offers a new perspective and story worth hearing. It is my passion to walk alongside others on their journey of healing.
In my free time, I can usually be found with my nose in a book. Reading brings me joy and helps me gain a greater understanding of not only the world but also its possibilities. I particularly love diving into fantasy and science fiction novels, where the limits of reality are constantly pushed, and new realms of imagination are explored. When I'm not reading, you might find me socializing with those close to me or deeply immersed in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. As a Dungeon Master, I revel in creating intricate stories and worlds that challenge and engage my players. I also enjoy playing a variety of board games that stretch my imagination and strategic thinking.
My love for gaming and storytelling extends beyond just a hobby; I see it as a powerful tool for personal growth and connection. Creativity, in all its forms, allows us to go beyond ourselves, exploring paths yet unexplored and finding new ways to understand and express our inner worlds. Whether it's through the pages of a book, the roll of a dice, or the strategy of a board game, I believe in the power of these experiences to enrich our lives and foster deeper connections with ourselves and others.
