LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR

In my 11 years of practice as a counselor, I have had the great honor to walk alongside people from all walks of life as they find healing and improve their relationship with themselves and those that they love. I practice from a person-centered approach and believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives and experiences.  

        I have completed training courses in Trauma Focused – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing. I am a beginning level Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and have completed EMDRIA approved training on utilizing EMDR and other nervous system driven skills to assist people with chronic pain conditions. Additionally, I have received post-degree training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. During my work with clients, I utilize evidence-based therapies, along with experiential and expressive therapy methods (i.e., sand-tray, mindfulness, art, etc.), and traditional “talk therapy” based on individual needs.

         I have experience working with clients of all ages with trauma-related issues, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, and addiction.  In addition, I am experienced working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families and am passionate about providing a safe space for all.
