Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am the owner of Radical Renewal Counseling LLC. Are you looking for real techniques to help you cope with anxiety, depression & trauma, not just talk ? Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma or patterns that just aren't changing despite your best efforts? I help clients who want practical relief ,emotional clarity & real progress- not just talk. Whether you're navigating addiction, depression, trauma or intense emotions, you don't have to do it alone. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing PTSD, childhood wounds and trauma connected to addiction or relationships.

In therapy, you'll be met with authentic support, empathy, & collaboration. I believe you're the expert on your life, and together we'll build a plan that makes sense for you and what you want out of this work. I seek to provide a warm, affirming and collaborative therapy environment with clients. I specialize in teens & children but also work with many adults with trauma & emotional dysregulation. I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA + population & am certified in DBT & trained in EMDR.

My approach to therapy

I am well-versed in DBT, CBT and trauma-informed care. My specialties include working with the LGBTQIA+ population, adolescents, younger children, adults, and neurodivergent individuals. I have my complex-trauma provider certification and am certified in DBT. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, psychosis, trauma, addiction and emotion regulation.I also am trained in EMDR.We'll use body -based grounding & nervous system regulation skills such as polyvagal-informed regulation, grounding through sensory orientation, breathwork for hyperarousal vs. hypoarousal, bilateral stimulation, and pendulation & titration to help you feel safer in the present-not just talk about the past. I help to educate you on the window of tolerance, trigger mapping & response planning. Before processing trauma, we focus on safety, stabilization and building coping skills so the work feels manageable- not overwhelming.

Many clients tell me they feel more grounded & understood, they've gained tools to manage difficult emotions, experience fewer intense reactions day-to-day and have greater clarity about their goals & direction. Your pace & comfort matter- every step forward is a gain worth celebrating.
