You may have been sitting in your car, gripping your steering wheel as your heart pounded in your chest, wondering if you could ever get help. For years, you may have carried your own trauma or issues with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, impulsive actions, or emotions that feel impossible to control in silence - feeling their overwhelming weight that seems as though it can never be left behind. There may have been a time when you felt more like yourself, and you want that back. Or there may be no sense of who this self is, and you would like to understand who you have the potential of being.

One of the hardest things to admit to ourselves is that we need help. Searching for a therapist is a brave first step. My background is in individual, couples, and group therapy. I am an independently licensed Clinical Social Worker with many years of experience helping clients who struggle with the aftermath of trauma (sexual, physical, emotional, and combat-related), mood disorders, anxiety, interpersonal challenges, and end of life transitions.

Grief and trauma are uncertain and isolating experiences. At A Brighter Somewhere Counseling Services, I understand that sometimes it feels impossible to climb out of a dark place. Like a plant that grows on dark forest floors while reaching for the light, I believe in your capacity to heal and grow—even in the harshest conditions. My approach is rooted in the wisdom that growth doesn’t require light to begin; it requires connection, support, and the belief that something brighter is coming.
You don’t have to do this alone. Healing happens in connection, and support makes growth possible until you reach a brighter somewhere.

Do you feel like an imposter? Does it feel like everyone else got a rulebook that you didn't? Are you trying to overcome the effects of trauma, whether from a major life event, or from many smaller things throughout your life that have eaten away at your self-esteem? I'm guessing that you have many negative beliefs about yourself that you know, logically, aren't true. It's really hard to turn that logic into true belief about your worth as a human being, though. I can help you to go from just knowing in your head that you're worthy of love and a fulfilling life to truly believing it deep down. That makes a huge difference!

As a psychotherapist, my passion lies in creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their journeys. I am a trauma-informed, whole-person-focused clinician who believes in the innate capacity for healing within each individual. Rather than focusing on what isn’t working or reducing a person to a diagnosis, I emphasize strengths and resilience. I honor the unique stories and experiences that shape each person, acknowledging both the struggles and strengths they carry. Through therapy, I aim to provide a space where clients can cultivate lasting fulfillment and personal growth.

My passion for service and healing is rooted in supporting Black and Brown communities, LGBTQIA+, and other underserved communities. I understand there is power in being heard, seen and validated and I pride myself in allowing my clients the space for that. I use a combination of Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution focused therapy (SFT), and mindfulness to help people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationships, and other issues.

My "ideal" client is someone who values self-development and has a curious soul. The clients that work with me understand that I am not here to "fix" or "heal" them, rather I am here to walk along side them as they build a deeper awareness of their internal ecosystem while using the therapy relationship to build attunement and relational skills that are necessary for every healthy relationship. Clients that commit to the process of healing and awakening during our time together understand that working with me requires a willingness to do hard, deep, but gentle, work.
