Great to meet you!

Making the choice to seek help is incredibly brave, and finding a counselor can be overwhelming. I aim to make the process as safe and effortless as possible, providing individual, family, and couples counseling. We all have a right to belong, be respected, and feel heard and understood. If you experience anxiety, depression, shame, grief and loss, have had traumatic experiences, or relationship difficulties, counseling may help. Together we can find healing, promote connection with others, reduce distress, implement healthy boundaries, and process our hurt to create a better relationship with ourselves, our stories, and our world.

My goal is to provide a safe space, free from judgements, to assist you in exploring and processing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I use EMDR, Somatic mind body modalities, cognitive processing, eco therapy and mindfulness tools. Collaboratively, we will create a plan for healing and discovering your true essence.

With over 20 years working with survivors of trauma, abuse, violence and oppression, I guide the process, exploring power and control dynamics and relational wounds. My hope is to aid you in boosting your sense of belonging and connectedness, confidence, peace, and self-worth.

My approach to therapy

I focus on developing rapport and creating a space where you feel comfortable sharing. Together we collaborate to create a plan focusing on goals for therapy.

I welcome feedback on how you need to feel safe in the therapeutic alliance to accomplish your goals. I believe 80% of therapy is or relationship.

I utilize EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic therapies, as well as person centered approaches to empower you to heal.

What you can expect from me

Creating a welcoming environment, free of judgement and focusing on your needs. I walk alongside you to empower you to live your fullest life.
