"There is no greater journey than the one you take to discover all the mysteries that lie inside you." - Michelle Sandlin The journey towards healing starts with one courageous step. As a counselor, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can take those steps towards hope and increased clarity. My approach to counseling includes the whole person. I use sensorimotor experiencing and mindfulness in learning how to regulate the body and emotions, while exploring how thought patterns can be helpful or hurtful.

Working with a therapist should feel safe, and that is one of my top priorities. Some of my clients have had therapists before, and others are brand new to therapy. My ideal client comes with a desire to free themselves from pain and move toward a better sense of self in the process. Many of my clients are working through previous trauma (childhood and adult), have experienced loss, and many belong to a marginalized community. Some of my clients benefit from long-term therapy, while others engage in brief therapy to help get back on track to a better quality of life.

I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficult life events, and/or relationship issues. I am passionate about understanding and healing the client's identified needs. As a therapist, I am both proactively engaged and practical while being sensitive and compassionate. I love helping people create a better, happier life for themselves. Additionally, I work with issues relevant to the LGBTQ+ community, their families, friends, and allies. My other areas of focus include individuals with trauma histories, loss and grief, stress management, and identity development.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with life and the pressures of day to day responsibilities? Sometimes these feelings can be related to stressors that are currently happening or related to past traumas.

Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. I specialize in working with trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.

I specialize in treating adults that have endured trauma, treatment for PTSD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, anxiety, life stressors, self-esteem, depression, boundaries and other issues.

“Trauma” happens when a situation or an event overwhelms a person’s ability to cope, when the mind, the body, or the spirit shuts down or goes offline in order to get through the moment. Amazingly, while we may not have clear and whole memories of the event, the mind, the body, and the spirit have a memory of their own. Because of this, we can develop ways of seeing, relating, and experiencing the world that make life difficult. These difficulties can range from anxiety and depression to flashbacks or dissociation. They can make it harder to trust people, God or oneself. And it can leave you feeling lost or without purpose in life.

As a therapist and fellow “in-progress” human I believe that we are all constantly growing and changing through many seasons. Some seasons can feel like they last a lifetime, but no matter how difficult the season or how long it sticks around, I believe no one is without hope. I strive to instill that hope and confidence in you and create a space where you feel comfortable navigating tough questions, big emotions, and difficult situations.
