Specializes in

Anxiety and PTSD

Great to meet you!

My specialties include anxiety, grief, trauma, chronic health issues, and life transitions. Counseling with me is provided as a discovery process, a safe space to heal and explore new directions, and ways of coping with thoughts and emotions. I bring empathy and empowerment to my clients experiencing transitions and challenges.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am client centered and trauma informed in my practice. My priority is to understand what brings you to counseling and develop a plan that meets your goals. I am diverse in my skills and utilize a blend of evidence based treatments including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Neurofeedback.

What you can expect from our first session

It is my hope to provide you with a creative space for warmth and collaboration. You deserve a nurturing and supportive counselor to explore your experience. I welcome you to reach out to learn more.
