Oak & Wave Counseling

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering individual, couples, and family therapy in a space designed to feel safe, honest, and human.

I've been working in the social work field since 2010, which means I bring more than 15 years of experience into the room with me. But experience doesn't mean I'm going to sit across from you analyzing everything you say. I'm a real person, too — and I believe some of the best therapy happens when you actually feel comfortable enough to be yourself.

My work is rooted in the belief that healing isn't about becoming someone new — it's about returning home to yourself, with more clarity, compassion, and steadiness than before.

My work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness — helping you make room for what's hard, reframe unhelpful patterns, reconnect with what matters, and meet each moment with a little more steadiness.

During my master's degree, I completed a thesis focused on the LGBTQ+ community and the impact of religious trauma — work that continues to shape my passion for advocacy. I am committed to being an affirming, safe presence for LGBTQ+ clients, and to walking alongside anyone navigating the wounds that can come from faith communities.

Beyond the modalities, I'm just a human who finds real passion in being present with other humans — walking alongside you on your journey toward personal peace.

Whether you arrive carrying anxiety, grief, relational pain, or simply a sense that something needs to shift — you are welcome here. We'll move at your pace.
