Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and EMDR Therapist with over 16 years of experience creating meaningful impact across mental health and human services.

My approach to therapy

As a certified EMDR therapist, I utilize a trauma informed and integrative approach which includes EMDR, CBT, and Feminist Theory to help clients process through experiences of trauma, depression, racial issues, anxiety, and relationship issues in a healthy manner. My goal as a counselor is to support, empower, advocate for, and educate my clients.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a supportive space where we begin building a foundation for our work together. I’ll provide a brief overview of the therapy process and how we will collaborate at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I value getting to know you beyond your current challenges, so we’ll explore who you are and touch briefly on your history. We’ll close with a short discussion about your goals, with my priority being that you feel safe, seen, and supported from the very beginning.
