I believe everyone has a voice that is worthy of being heard and that everyone is worthy of feeling seen. But it is not uncommon to believe that our voice does not matter and that our words are insignificant. My goal is to empower you to use your voice and help you identify, and communicate, unmet needs. I will help you recognize your patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, and work with you to improve these patterns so you can have a better relationship with yourself and others. I believe that we can only connect with another person to the extent we are willing to connect with ourselves. Let me help you connect.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Master Certified Addiction Professional. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), both of which provide alternative ways of coping with trauma. I am also a Qualified Supervisor for registered interns.
I believe in seeing everyone as their own person and I cater my therapeutic approach accordingly. I understand that therapy requires people to lean into vulnerability and trust and I have the deepest respect for those who are open to the process. I would love to be a part of your journey!
