Great to meet you!

I am a nationally certified counselor (NCC) who specializes in tailoring personalized treatment of trauma and PTSD using a range of evidence-based interventions including EMDR and trauma focused counseling methods. My practice is designed and dedicated to focus on anything you bring to therapy. I want to collaborate with you on a treatment plan that is specific to your needs so you get the most out of our time together. We will explore your values, help you find the direction you want for your life, and forge a strong partnership for healing. Change can seem scary, but I'll be here for you.

My approach to therapy

My primary counseling lens is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a values-based experiential therapy that aims to help us more successfully adapt to change and challenges. I will also integrate other evidence-based therapy interventions into our sessions to create therapy specifically for your needs and dedicated to you.

What you can expect from me

When the world feels overwhelming and scary, it's easy to lose focus and forget who we want to be. Anxiety, depression, and trauma often hook into us and tell us that life has no purpose beyond just somehow surviving our pain - leaving us feeling stuck and afraid. As your therapy partner, I want to help you navigate the stress of relationships, create meaning, and find new direction for your life. We can reconnect you with your values and to what and who matters most to you - to help you find balance and healing. You can change your life and unhook from what keeps you trapped in old patterns of merely surviving. You can thrive!

With evidence-based therapy, we will navigate the concerns you bring into counseling. I combine supportive, individualized treatment and interventions from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, EMDR, and other therapy disciplines into an integrative approach designed specifically for you. You matter, and I truly want to help.

Let's work together so you can live like the person you want to be and create the life you want! I'm ready to walk with you through the challenges of change. Together, we can get you unstuck - to let the healing happen and move you forward into a rich life full of hope and health. I invite you to take another courageous step today and reach out for help.
