Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with over 15 years of experience. I am currently completing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, which guides my use of thoughtful, evidence-based therapy. I specialize in helping adolescents, young adults, and adults heal from trauma and cope with overwhelming stress, emotional ups and downs, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

My clinical approach is grounded in person-centered therapy and integrates evidence-based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Sand Tray Therapy, among other trauma-informed interventions.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and empowered. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, meaning we work together to identify goals, explore challenges, and build on strengths. Sessions often focus on developing insight, emotional regulation skills, and healthy coping strategies.
