I specialize in walking alongside individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—whether from past trauma, shame, internalized beliefs, lack of belonging, anxiety, depression, substance use, or daily life challenges. I support those longing for healing, deeper connection, and a return to their authentic selves. I use EMDR and other evidence-based treatments to process trauma, including religious and identity-related wounds. In couples therapy, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to deepen emotional connection, break negative cycles, improve communication, and foster healthier, more secure relationships.
Through a holistic, attachment-based approach, I help individuals and couples heal from trauma, overcome challenges, and nurture secure, authentic connections. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Addiction Counselor with experience supporting adults affected by trauma, mental health, and substance use challenges.
I prioritize creating a non-judgmental, accepting space where you feel seen, heard, and valued, and are supported in connecting with your authentic self. It takes courage to face the challenges and patterns that hold you back, and I am honored to walk alongside you in healing, self-discovery, and embracing the freedom to thrive in life and relationships.
