Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that mental health means having access to choices and responding rather than reacting to difficult situations. I enjoy supporting clients in trauma healing and use EMDR and parts work interventions. I work to decolonize my practice and feel that therapy is meant to be collaborative and always in service of the client.

My approach to therapy

I have specialized training in treating individuals who have experienced depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, identity issues, relationship issues, grief, personality disorders (borderline personality disorder), and low self-esteem. I enjoy using what clients already have available to them to help them feel more capable.

What you can expect from me

It is important to me that you feel seen, heard, and valued in our work together. The work we will do together is important and there is no judgment for what you share or explore. Ultimately, I want you to feel like you have increased access to tools that help you move forward and resolve what has held you back.
