Great to meet you!

Welcome! Seeking help can be one of the hardest things to do, so congratulations for reaching out and taking that first step.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and have been in practice for over ten years. It is important to find the right therapist for you and so I offer a 20 minute phone consultation, at no charge, to see if we are a good fit.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach comes from a wellness and strength based approach. I believe that it is not what is wrong with you but what has happened to you. I specialize in trauma and how it is held in the body and how it will show up as anxiety, depression, insomnia and other physical ailments. My goal is to help identify what trauma is still being held on to and work through that so you can achieve the healthy life you deserve to live.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a safe, warm and non-judgemental environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing your story. We will work together to set goals for what you would like to achieve from being in therapy. I look forward to working with you!
