Our Team of Partners

About Me:  

Everyone has struggles. It's part of being human. I see myself as a catalyst in the process towards change. I work with clients to identify their own capacity and build on strengths to find their own answers. There doesn't have to be a a severe mental disorder in order for a person to benefit from therapy. I believe every human being strives for and has the capacity to fulfill his or her own potential. While we can't change our past, we can work together to better understand and resolve current conflicts, patterns and behaviors in our lives and relationships with others. I strive to provide individuals with empathy and an environment free from judgement. I offer support, guidance, and structure so the client can discover personalized solutions within themselves. I hope to act as a mirror for individuals to help reflect their own thoughts and feelings in order to see the whole picture. I also offer hypnotherapy to treat a variety of issues and can be used in addition to individual counseling sessions. I would be honored to join you in your personal journey of self-discovery.​

About Me:  

 I am currently offering coaching services while I pursue my master’s in clinical counseling.  I started my graduate program at Northwest Nazarene University in January of 2026. My skills have always been towards helping people. I have grown to understand that the greatest healing comes from changes within the individual. Coaching differs from therapy in that we do not revisit past wounds; instead, we apply the healing lessons from therapy to current life situations and future life goals. This will look different throughout the span of your life. It can be a new relationship that you are showing up for in a way that has a pattern of previous relationships that you want to move on from. It can be a goal to start something that a fear is holding you back from pursuing. Coaching comes in many forms; my goal is to help you enjoy your life. If we get into topics that need a deeper dive from past traumas, Kari Stephensen-McGhie has graciously offered to take on any clients who need a more focused therapy treatment. Please book an appointment so we can start the path to a life you enjoy.
