Great to meet you!

True healing isn't just about managing symptoms — it's about addressing the whole person.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that lasting stability and happiness require working on three levels: your physical experience, your emotional patterns, and your spiritual wellbeing. When all three are addressed together, real change becomes possible.

I work with clients to identify what's getting in the way of the life they want — and build the tools, insight, and coping strategies to actually get there.

My approach to therapy

I take a holistic, goal-oriented approach. My work is practical and grounded: we identify where you want to go, examine what's in the way, and build a clear path forward.

My specialized training includes:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — for processing trauma and the ways past experiences continue to shape your present
  • Anger Management — understanding the roots of anger and developing healthier ways to express and regulate it
  • Trauma-Informed Care — recognizing how trauma affects the mind, body, and spirit, and treating it accordingly

Together, we'll focus on:

  • Understanding the patterns — emotional, behavioral, and relational — that are keeping you stuck
  • Developing healthy coping skills for daily life
  • Building problem-solving tools that create lasting stability
  • Addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of what you're carrying

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about understanding your full picture. We'll explore your history — from childhood to the present — to get a clear sense of what has shaped you and where you want to go. From there, we'll set specific, meaningful goals and begin building the skills to reach them.
