I specialize in supporting trauma healing. Many of my clients are in relationships - they have young children, or are thinking of having children and they want to heal from ways they have been hurt in order to be more present and loving with the people in their lives. I'm trained in EMDR, SSP, and Mindfulness. Through talk therapy we gain insight into the way our past informs our present. Through these other modalities we are able to begin to shift the beliefs we have about ourselves, and the way our nervous system responds to stress.

Are you ready to talk with someone? Life can bring many challenges, and you deserve to live the life you want. I know it has been heavy and difficult carrying this for so long. You deserve a life free from all the pressure and weight you carry. I'm sure there are times you think about what your life could or should be, and I'm sure there are moments when it feels out of reach. My goal is to remind you that you can have that life, and together, we will work towards making it a reality.

Have you have been finding it harder to feel joy, self-acceptance, or it's becoming harder by the day to simply stay afloat? In life, we are often made to feel flawed for being human, but I want you to know that you deserve a space that is healing, supportive, and free of judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I feel honored to help others navigate painful events, emotions, and disordered eating behaviors so that they are able to live their life to its full potential and appreciate their authentic selves. Opening up about our pain can feel like a risk, but I hope in our work together, you realize you're worth this risk.

If you are struggling with feelings of inadequacy, difficulty with making everyday decisions, a loss rather it be a person, career, marriage or a traumatic event, my desire is to provide a safe space where you find clarity, hope, and healing. The most important aspect of the therapeutic relationship is building a warm, genuine, non-judgmental connection. As a therapist, that is my goal. I believe when people sense that you genuinely care and respect them, they are more open to honestly sharing about themselves and participating in the process of improving their lives.

As a licensed counselor, my hope for my clients is for them to know their value and purpose. I believe counseling is a beautiful resource for those who desire to know and care for themselves better. I strive in every counseling session to honor every client’s uniqueness and strengths, as I believe it takes a great amount of courage and vulnerability to show up to counseling. My hope is to be able to come alongside my clients in their journey and work with them to set and achieve any personal goals they have for themselves.

Honing technique to fit client needs + personalized connectivity yields clarity and growth. Moving through the process, we target and work toward this result...together.

My focus in the counseling process is to meet individuals in their current life stage and work collaboratively to address any issues. As no two people are the same, the aim of treatment is to personalize the process with treatment goals to address unique needs. One main goal is to provide everyone with the tools and support to manage struggles, feel more confident and capable, and continue to grow and explore their own lives. I am passionate about working with professionals, young adults, college students, and adolescents as they navigate changes in their world and development.
