I have background in psychology, sociology and elementary education as well as history with diversion, probation, substance use and certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing).
I’m here to listen to your whole story while learning more about you as an individual, help guide you through your present and future, as well as learning about your past. Life does not always provide you with easy steps along the way. There are things that truly cause scars which can affect us on a daily routine. I am here to remind you, you are not alone. I will be here as a support through every season of your life, one step at a time.

“Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations.” - Brene Brown. I specialize in helping people who are struggling with perinatal or postnatal concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, substance use concerns or negative life experiences to get to the root of their current challenges so they can find relief and experience long term change.

Through my experiences, I have worked with anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, relationships, substance use, and a range of other everyday problems.
Taking the first step and admitting we need help is the most difficult step, which is why I am so glad you have decided that counseling may be right for you. One belief I hold near and dear is that everyone deserves a space that is solely for them; I hope I can help provide that space for you. Ultimately you are the expert on your life and your lived experiences, and I hope to be able to walk with you and help you to have a sounding board as you go on this journey.

I've also worked with substance use and severe and persistent mental illness.
Hey, I'm Evelynn! I enjoy working with a variety of issues, but I'm especially passionate about working with gender expansive clients! I'm a transgender woman, and my experiences absolutely inform how I approach working with my clients. I will provide space to explore which aspects of expression, pronouns, sexuality, and other elements you want to incorporate into your gender. There are no wrong answers, but we'll work together to find one you are comfortable with! I also have found neurodivergence (Autism Spectrum & ADHD) and eating disorders as additional specialties through working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

I have a strong addiction and substance use background.
My ideal client inherently knows that something in their world is amiss, and they are ready to go on a journey to discover, uncover and evaluate the source of that sore spot. They have a wide-ranging set of issues, needs, and goals. They want to walk with someone on the journey to a better self and improved self-efficacy. They search for a better tomorrow that they can fully participate in.

I have 15 years of experience addressing mental health and substance use issues.
Whether this is your first time seeking support or if you've participated in counseling in the past, my goal is to meet you where you are in your journey to psychological wellness. You may have identified specific challenges and goals that you want to address or you may simply know that you are in need of support. Life is rarely easy and occasionally we all need to seek help and resources to help us navigate through the ups and downs. If you're struggling with challenging life circumstances that are impacting you, your relationships and/or your career, counseling can help you regain control and feel more fulfilled.

Or maybe you feel stuck, you've lost your oomph, or life is on repeat. Maybe you feel alone and that no one has your back. Somewhere along the way you lost who you were. We're so busy with making others happy or trying to get everything done, it doesn't seem like there's anything else left in the end. If you are dealing with shame, substance use, toxic families and relationships, mental or emotional abuse, anxiety, depression, burnout or stress-please reach out.

I utilize interventions rooted in evidence based practices: attachment style parenting, healing from trauma, and substance use counseling.
Let’s come together to discover your courage to grow, adapt, and prosper! Therapy is a beautiful process that empowers us to deepen our self knowledge and make breakthroughs in whatever is holding us back; whether things have gotten too difficult or you’re in a longstanding battle of feeling unwell. Your experiences, relationships, mental health and physical health can all have an impact on how you show up in your life. These experiences can build up over time and erode our sense of peace and confidence. Our relationships become strained and we begin to feel more isolated.
