My work specializes in trauma informed care and spiritually focused counseling. I am trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing.

I am highly valued as a compassionate, competent therapist who will provide understanding and skills that support moving through and coping with traumatic events/responses recent and past, and the spiritual evolution born out of traumatic wounds.

My ideal client is someone who may be at a crossroads in their life, recognizing that they are struggling with issues they cannot manage themselves and ready and willing to make a change. Their challenges might revolve around anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or addiction, possibly stemming from difficult life experiences, strained relationships, or a lack of purpose and fulfillment. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost, but beneath that, there is a desire for something better—a healthier and more meaningful life. Their needs often include a safe, non-judgmental space to express their feelings freely.
