I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, specializing in relationships, personal healing and trauma. I create safe caring spaces where we can join together while facing difficulties. Counseling with me is affirming and interactive. You will learn to identify and release problematic beliefs and behaviors, that have become barriers to your wellbeing. You will gain new perspectives and acceptance to help you heal, while discovering insights to the power and strength within you.
I’m passionate about treating individuals and couples who are stuck and struggling with childhood trauma, addiction, intimacy and emotional issues. Trauma certified, Reiki, Brainspotting and EFT trained, i practice incorporating somatic experiences and the mind body connection to heal, create change, improve relationships and one's quality of life.
I have a genuine, comfortable attitude which allows my clients to feel safe and connected. My treatment philosophy is to tailor my approach to the needs of each client, slow down reactions, break down barriers and hold a secure space for exploration and growth. I am open, warm, strong and supportive, honoring all your uniqueness while we work towards change
