I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Dance/Movement Therapist. I specialize in trauma-informed care for children (especially ages birth-6 years old) and adults. My background includes working with children and adults who have experienced various forms of trauma, such as abuse, neglect, loss, and disrupted attachments, as well as supporting children on the autism spectrum. Our outward behaviors and physical manifestations are representative of what we are feeling and thinking. In order to understand the whole person and effect change, I believe it is important to address the underlying reasons for behaviors.

In community and with the help of those around us, we can overcome our obstacles and begin to thrive. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) and Certified Peer Recovery Specialist focusing on addiction recovery, trauma, spirituality, and grief, I am here to join you on your journey toward healing.

Along with my lived experience in recovery, I aim to bring a positive, warm, and non-judgmental therapeutic style to each session.

I approach therapeutic work with warmth, kindness and empathic understanding. I strive to create an environment in which clients feel heard, understood, and supported in facing their challenges. Through a strengths-based perspective, I provide guidance to clients in identifying and utilizing their personal strengths to pursue the change they want to create in their lives. I utilize techniques from a number of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy), and TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

The challenges of life’s situations, the loss of a loved one, underlying trauma, mental illness, substance misuse, intimate partner violence can bring on feelings of loneliness, sadness, fear, anger, desperation, hopelessness, and grief to name a few. These emotions can at times leave us feeling “not like ourselves,” overwhelmed, and out of control, thereby, interfering with our daily lives and our ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Take a moment to imagine your life without these problems.
