As a therapist, I see my clients as the experts in their own lives. My role is akin to that of a guest—here to build upon the tools you already possess while introducing new ones that align with your life goals. I enjoy guiding clients through challenging life changes and helping them break patterns that no longer serve them. My experience primarily lies in working with teens and adults, including LGBTQIA+ youth and individuals with BIPOC identities.

I primarily work with adults doing individual therapy, however, my work history includes working as a counselor for kids in an inpatient hospital setting, supporting adults as a crisis clinician, and leading groups that included art therapy, healing from depression, and managing anxiety.
I have years of experience in helping people improve their lives, reach their goals and find healing. I excel in rapport building and utilize person centered therapy to guide the therapeutic relationship.

While much of my practice is focused on being a resource to the first responder community, I also provide counseling services to adults not in first response work through both individual and couples therapy.
I am passionate about coming alongside the first responder community (police, firefighters, EMS, dispatch) and helping them develop the mental health tools they need to not only survive, but thrive. From the stress of service calls, shift-work, and organizational politics, too many first responders come out on the other end of their service worse for the wear. Being former law enforcement, I personally experienced and witnessed this impact, and I became passionate about becoming a part of the solution by offering culturally competent mental health counseling.

I work with children, teens, adults and couples.
Recovery from trauma is my specialization. I care deeply about each person who steps into my office, and the alliance we can create could be life-changing for you. I am trained in EMDR, a psychotherapy that can de-code the traumatic memories and beliefs that are stuck within your brain and nervous system. EMDR can then rewire your brain with positive beliefs such as "I am good enough as I am" or "I'm valuable". Once you believe good things about yourself, you start living differently! I love EMDR and fully believe in its power to heal many different types of trauma.

I work with individual adults.
I provide a space for people to be with all aspects of who they are "“ mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I believe we are all experts on our own lives and have within us the knowing of what is best for us.

I support others in accessing their inner process in order to be with all of the parts of one's personality and all the information and wisdom held there.

I have been helping folks get unstuck and regain or find their HOPE and their WHY my whole career. Whether I am working with children, adolescents, adults or my fellow/sister clinicians the work is the same. We all just take different routes to get to the top of the mountain. Motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and structural family therapy provide the backbone of my practice. I have witnessed and celebrated with people as they have made the most incredible recoveries and been in awe as others have somehow withstood what seemed unbearable grief.

Entering into therapy is a courageous decision to seek life in response to whatever concerns and challenges have gotten your attention. Everyone bears experiences that have had an alienating and destructive impact on their relationship with others and with themselves. Without the support of another to work through these experiences and use them for our growth, these destructive effects often compound over time as we cope and try to heal on our own. Counseling is an opportunity to receive the kind of support that can enable you to find not only relief, but the goodness you have struggled to access in yourself and your relationships.
