Being a human can be hard. While we have the capacity to experience great joy, the human experience also contains anxiety, depression, trauma, and other forms of pain. I work to foster a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore and process difficult experiences while also empowering clients with tools to navigate the inevitable ups and downs of life with more confidence and ease. I take a holistic and trauma-informed approach to counseling to help clients both gain self-understanding and achieve measurable symptom relief. I utilize EMDR and other evidence-based modalities to support clients in achieving their goals.
I have experience in supporting adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, complex trauma, life transitions, stress management, family and relational trauma, identity issues, and more. I have specialized experience in working with clients who have experienced sexual assault and sexual abuse.
I truly believe that anyone can benefit from counseling and that everybody deserves to heal. I am an LGBTQAI+ affirming counselor and strive to create a space where all clients feel welcomed, valued, and accepted. Feel free to reach out to me for more information or to see if my services are the right fit for you!
