I have experience in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I understand the difficulties and challenges that personal growth and healing may bring. My goal is to provide a space where clients feel welcome, seen, and heard. I am dedicated to providing an all-inclusive, safe space for clients to explore and express themselves freely. Through a collaborative effort between client and counselor, I strive to help clients gain the necessary tools for greater self-awareness, understanding, and overall healing. I hope to support your journey toward a happier and more fulfilling life!

I have a strong passion for guiding and helping individuals reach a healthy well-being as well as their own self-development and healing goals. I am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, Play therapy, and Somatic Based Practices to provide resources to meet the needs of each individual, unique client.

I believe that counseling is not a one-size-fits-all approach and that because each journey is unique, one’s healing process will be too. I hope for the opportunity to support your journey toward a happier and more fulfilling life.
