I am an experienced intuitive counselor aiming to help others facilitate their own healing. I view you as your own expert and hold space for you to work through barriers stopping you from living your most authentic and fulfilling life. As a two-time cancer survivor, I work well with individuals living with chronic illnesses, grief, and loss. I am passionate about working with trauma survivors, especially those who feel stuck in survival mode. I am compassionate, direct and non-judgmental and do my best to guide you with authenticity and candor.
I am a human first, therapist second. I provide individual therapy and specialize in trauma, including dissociative disorders & CPTSD. I am experienced working with eating disorders, chronic health conditions, & mood/anxiety disorders. I especially enjoy working with healthcare providers & individuals interested in pursuing spiritual growth and development.
Finding the right therapist is almost a full-time job that is taxing. Please reach out to schedule a consult to see if we could be a good fit for one another. I offer weeknight appointments & sliding scale options on a limited basis.

Trauma treatment is tailored to your needs. It will involve processing your experiences through talk/narrative therapy (or however you best express yourself). We will explore ways your trauma responses show up in the present and identify alternative coping methods. We will work toward self-acceptance using self-compassion exercises.

My approach is intuitive and eclectic. I aim to address your present issues while helping you build insight to how past/lived/future experiences influence your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I incorporate DBT and CBT when appropriate. I welcome discussion about my clients' preferences in therapy. One human's therapy homework assignment could be another client's headache.
