I chose to become a counselor because I believe that while there is so much pain in the world, there are not always enough effective resources for healing. I have witnessed many people, weighed down by hurt and anger, who genuinely desire change but feel so stuck they don’t know where to begin. On my own journey to becoming a counselor, I’ve learned that hope can sometimes feel difficult to hold onto and change can feel overwhelming — yet when hope is rediscovered, it becomes a powerful source of strength. As change begins, the feeling of being stuck starts to loosen, and true.
I use a variety of approaches — like EMDR, Brainspotting, Trauma-Focused, Somatic Experiential, art and body-based therapies — to help people move through painful patterns and past experiences. These methods can ease the effects of trauma, such as anxiety, fear, or struggles in relationships, and open the way to healing and lasting change.
If you’ve been carrying pain, trauma, or patterns that feel impossible to change, you don’t have to face them alone. Healing is possible, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process. If you’re ready to take the first step, I invite you to reach out and connect with me.
