Therapy is healing, growth, and recovery. I am passionate about providing you with a safe environment to explore your wants and needs, and find the best version of yourself. I believe in empowerment and resilience. Together, we will learn and practice coping skills of mindfulness, being present, and grounding, to help you manage life. With a non-judgmental, supportive, curious, and challenging approach, we will work on facing your inner critic to become your own best friend while identifying personal identity traits. I encourage building agency to take accountability in personal healing, growth, and recovery.

My experience is primarily with adults healing from anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma/abuse/neglect, substance use, shame/guilt, and grief/loss. I am open to working with all ages and backgrounds. I aspire to meet you where you are and work collaboratively with therapeutic approaches and your personal preferences.
I have training in Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and to work with the military community from Star Behavioral Health Providers. I have professional experience working in community mental health and addiction treatment. Prior to counseling, I worked with children on the Autism spectrum and adolescents with eating disorder issues.
