I'm a faith-based therapist in Normal, Illinois, who believes healing happens when we honor the whole story—grief, hope, and everything in between.

I grew up in a farming family in Midwest, Illinois. At my core, I’m a country girl who’s happiest outside with my feet in the dirt (preferably with a pedicure). Much of my life has gone differently than I imagined, but I’ve learned to hold space for both beauty and disappointment. I’ve grown to really love the ordinary—and I often find it’s where the deepest parts of life unfold.

I’m a deep thinker, a fast talker, and I tend to skip over small talk. I ask a lot of questions. My own journey through infertility, loss, and life’s many interruptions has given me a deep passion for therapy—especially in these tender areas. I care deeply about people and the stories they carry. I’m often struck by the quiet faithfulness of God woven through even the most difficult seasons.

Professionally, I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (MA, LCPC) with a Master’s degree from Lincoln Christian University.

I’ve spent my career walking alongside clients across the lifespan—children, teens, and adults—with a focus on trauma, infertility, reproductive loss, motherhood, and perimenopause/postmenopause.

I’m trained in EMDR and trauma-informed approaches and integrate Attachment Theory, CBT, ACT, and client-centered therapy. I also recently completed a 10-month post-graduate course in fertility counseling.

This work is deeply personal to me, and it’s an honor to walk with others through it.
