Meet Afton
the human behind the sessions
I've always been the person people come to.
Friends, classmates, and even strangers have felt comfortable opening up to me and sharing the parts of their lives that feel difficult, confusing, or deeply personal. That ability to connect with others has grown into a genuine love for people and a desire to understand the unique experiences that shape who we are.
Long before I knew the language of family systems, attachment theory, or relational patterns, I carried a simple belief: it all begins at home. I was curious about why people could experience similar situations yet respond to them in completely different ways I wanted to understand how our earliest relationships and experiences influence the way we see ourselves, communicate our needs, navigate challenges, and connect with the people around us.
That curiosity ultimately became a calling. As a therapist, I believe our stories matter, and understanding where our patterns began can help us decide which ones we want to carry forward and which ones we are ready to change.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted while exploring the experiences that have shaped you.
Together, we can work toward greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, meaningful growth, and a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.
Therapy does not have to feel intimidating
What feels like a casual conversation about everyday life can reveal patterns that have been there for years. Together, we will explore if these patterns are helping or hurting you. I will help you find ways to strengthen those positive patterns and challenge the negative.
Some sessions are serious and heavy. Some sessions we'll laugh harder than you'd expect you could in therapy.
In session, I'll ask questions, share observations, and challenge your perspective. Sometimes you'll just need a place to talk. Every week is different and our sessions will be too. We'll make space for what you need that day.
My role is to help you recognize patterns, connect dots, and help you understand the relationships that matter most.
You can expect...
Honest conversations
Curiosity over judgment
Gentle challenges
Practical takeaways
And yes, probably some laughs along the way
This can be a place you leave clearer, not just lighter

Disney College Program
One of the best jobs I've ever had. It was my first opportunity to work with families directly to create meaningful moments.
Marriage & Family Studies
I earned my degree in Marriage and Family Studies, deepening my understanding of relationships and what makes families tick.
Child Protective Services
Working closely with children and families during some of their hardest seasons was challenging, meaningful work that deeply shaped my perspective and approach.
Case Management
Helping children and families navigate complex systems and connect with the support they needed was a central part of my work.
Community Mental Health
Providing therapy in a community setting offered the opportunity to support people from many different backgrounds and walks of life.
Today
Private practice allows me to spend more time focusing on what matters most, you. With flexible scheduling and a private-pay model, my work is guided by your goals rather than insurance limitations.
