I am certified in EMDR, trained in Level 1 of IFS, and work from a person-centered, attachment, feminist, and strengths-based approach.
I am currently accepting new clients, both in person and through Telehealth. Sometimes what we need most is to be seen, heard, and appreciated just as we are. Through my own personal counseling and my professional training, I’ve witnessed the power of healing through connection with another and this is the foundation of my work as a therapist. When we are able to be vulnerable with another person, to be truly seen and heard it can be liberating. I bring this approach to my work with a variety of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, attachment wounds, emerging adulthood, and substance use.

I am certified in EMDR and EMI™ therapy and utilize a person-centered approach to promote holistic care, moving clients toward total wellness.
I specialize in Christian counseling and strive to help everyone find purpose in their experiences, create a vision for healing and truly embrace their full potential. My approach for clinical work has always been to be present with each person and encourage them to use whatever trials they have experienced to become stronger and enhance their overall story. I genuinely believe none of us have to be defined by what has happened to us in life, but rather can use those experiences, good and bad alike, to become better versions of ourselves.

I utilize strategies from DBT, Person Centered Therapy and EMDR.
I enjoy meeting people right where they are in this wild and wonderful experience, we call life. It is important that you feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are and what you have already experienced. I work to help you resolve underlying negative beliefs and patterns that are getting in the way of who you were always meant to be. Your authentic self. Whether your pain stems from traumatic experiences, attachment wounds, or emotional needs that aren’t being met, therapy can help you sit with the pain while still building a meaningful and rich life.

Additionally, I utilize Person-Centered Therapy.
Are you ever scared to tell someone how you feel? When someone asks, “How are you?” your response is, “I’m good, how are you?” It can be daunting to be vulnerable and genuinely express our emotions. Whatever you are experiencing, I am honored that you are here and have chosen to begin your counseling journey. My goal is to help you feel valued, understood, and appreciated just as you are. Together, we can make sense of your current situation and explore where you want to go. I believe that you can find purpose and connection and become better equipped to navigate the complexities of life.

I offer a person-centered/down-to-earth approach to therapy.
You are not alone! Many folks today are feeling stuck... or overwhelmed by anxiety, loss, and confusion. Others are trying to make meaning of early life events or current relational strife with partners, children, or parents. I enjoy working with a variety of populations including: helping parents navigate difficulties with children who are struggling with anxiety or possible neurodivergence, adolescents struggling to belong or with unhealthy coping skills, young adults balancing college and work, adults navigating transitions such as divorce, retirement, and grief, and those who are in recovery.

Founded on a person-centered approach, I believe that the professional relationship is a large part of the therapeutic work. Although I integrate several evidence-based modalities including cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, somatic, psycho-dynamic, & motivational interviewing interventions, I welcome any presentation for both adults as well as youth.

I consider my therapeutic approach as “eclectic” and draws upon multiple theoretical orientations and techniques, including behavioral and person-centered therapy. This therapeutic approach can help patients in dealing with anxiety, depression, eating & personality disorders, trauma, and many other issues. My relatable and “non-judgmental” approach includes developing a trusting clinical alliance early on in the treatment process with clients.

I work with people pleasers, perfectionists, and over achievers who have gotten some terrible messages throughout life from family, relationships, school, and society as a whole about who you "should" be. You have heard that your feelings are unimportant or perhaps "wrong." As a result, you have set out to make others happy instead of yourself in the form of caregiving, parenting, high intensity jobs, or compensating with lots of education. In the process, you have buried your own feelings, thoughts and beliefs, and are constantly on the the lookout that someone will discover that you are a "fake" or an "imposter."

I see life as a journey. Sometimes we get in a rut and have difficulty getting out, or sometimes we think we are on the right road and things turn out differently than expected, leaving us devastated and not knowing how or what to change. At times, we are unaware of our repeated patterns or how early life experiences have affected us. We usually do the best we can with what skills we have. Sometimes, we have to change our unhelpful coping skills and develop strategies and skills that will help us be happier and more functional people. Life is a journey, let's take it one step at a time.

If you're reading this, chances are you've experienced difficult times in life.

My passion lies in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma and those currently living with eating disorders or disordered eating. It is my goal to help my clients no longer feel alone, and to move from a place of shame and guilt to one of believing and knowing that all of their parts are good.

It's an honor and privilege to use my experience, education and skills to guide people toward a deeper love and acceptance of themselves. My passion is working with those who are ready to heal and transform what no longer serves them on their way to creating lives of meaning, purpose and joy. I've accumulated a "toolkit" of effective modalities and those, combined with your own desire to grow and evolve is a powerful combination. I believe many of us repeat strategies from the past that may have worked then, but are no longer helping us become who we want to be either personally or professionally.

I work with couples and individuals and support relationship concerns, trauma, depression, anxiety, etc. I have found effective growth and change is rooted in a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. In my holistic approach, I evaluate and challenge the mind, body and emotions. This provides external skills and internal growth that makes for lasting effects in relationship and within self. I truly believe that people are resilient. When someone is motivated to change, given the opportunity to be understood, validated and compassionately challenged, they can meet their therapy goals.
