LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR

Since 2013, it has been my honor to walk alongside people on their journey to finding healing and peace. I truly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, and it is my goal to create a warm and compassionate space from the very first session. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents facing trauma and anxiety-related concerns, as well as co-occurring issues such as addiction, chronic pain, and mood-related challenges. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families, and I am committed to providing an affirming space for all.

​

During our sessions together, we will work to address the root causes of symptoms using a variety of evidence-based approaches. I have post-degree training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I am also a Somatic Experiencing Professional at the Intermediate Level. Somatic Experiencing is a gentle, body-based approach to treating trauma.  By working with the body, we work to help regulate the nervous system and heal from past traumatic experiences on a deeper level.  Because of the impact of trauma on the body, I have also received advanced training through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) on an EMDR protocol for reducing chronic pain. 

For those who enjoy engaging in creative arts, I love to incorporate expressive arts, sand tray therapy, and other creative approaches into our sessions. In our first meeting, we will discuss your needs and create a plan to help you reach your goals.
