Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with extensive experience in helping others since 1993.

Growing up, I experienced alcoholism in my family of origin and witnessed intimate partner violence. This began my journey to heal myself and help others to heal and empower themselves. These early challenges fueled my commitment to be the change I want to see in the world.

My experiences and education have deepened my passion for guiding individuals to transform anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief and addiction and to integrate these elements into your true nature of self. It is possible to create effective, long-lasting coping skills to live the life you want to live and experience the power to heal now.

My approach to therapy

My experiences and education have deepened my passion for guiding individuals to transform anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief and addiction and to integrate these elements into your true nature of self. It is possible to create effective, long-lasting coping skills to live the life you want to live and experience the power to heal now.

My approach is rooted in genuine curiosity and neutrality. By blending traditional therapies such as Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) along with specialty trainings in Neuro‐Linguistic Programming (NLP), Family Constellations and Brain Spotting, this enables me to customize each session for deeper healing. These techniques incorporate grounding, centering, and meditation to help you stay present and ease stress for long lasting change behavior and truly empower you with tools and insights that foster resilience and encourage a sense of well-being.

NLP is a method that examines how neurological processes, language, and behavior shape our experiences. It offers strategies to model successful behaviors and reprogram thinking for desired outcomes and better communication.

Family Constellations, a therapeutic approach that maps family relationships to reveal intergenerational patterns, loyalties, and unresolved traumas influencing current behavior.

I am a Certified Brain Spotting Practitioner, which uses eye position to locate and process trauma by accessing stored emotional memories, integrating neuroscience, mindfulness, and psychotherapy for healing.

What you can expect from me

Working together in therapy means you are entering a safe, supportive space where your voice is truly heard and transformation is possible. You will gain insight to behaviors and the change process. You will learn how to feel empowered from the insight out and connect to what's really important for you to live a life with intention.
