Hi, I'm Audrey! I am an Art Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Qualified Supervisor for other therapists. I work with adults who want to explore the individualized impacts of trauma on their day-to-day difficulties, and then learn how to rewire what trauma wired in, which can manifest as relational conflicts, avoidance, isolating or even people pleasing behaviors.

Have you been struggling with life's biggest transitions, questioning your path, or feeling emotionally exhausted? It’s easy to get lost in the assumptions of how we "supposed to" act, which often leaves us feeling drained and questioning our own judgment. If you are ready to commit to real change, I am here to meet you. I provide a foundation of unwavering acceptance and understanding, creating a safe place to unpack the roles that no longer serve you. I will help you move past your limiting beliefs and actively explore the choices that lead to a fulfilling and self-directed life.

As an openly queer therapist, I’m also passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community in feeling affirmed and understood.
I approach therapy through a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed lens and provide care that is collaborative, holistic, and tailored to your unique needs. By integrating person-centered therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), we can explore patterns that no longer serve you and develop tools for change.

My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families who are ready to move beyond simply surviving and begin thriving. Many are high-achieving professionals, caregivers, parents, ministry leaders, and helping professionals who appear to have it all together on the outside but are struggling internally with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions. I am particularly passionate about helping those living lifestyles that are not seen as "traditional" by society as well as couples navigating that space while strengthening their communication while navigating life's challenges together.

You’re successful on paper, but at home it’s war: distance, fights, or silence after betrayal. You want the truth, a path forward, and to stop feeling like you’re living with a roommate or an enemy. You may be trying to recover after an affair, repeated flirting/DMs, porn use, addiction, or a relapse that shattered trust. What you need is structure, accountability, a trusted guide, and tools that work in real life not endless battles. Your goal is a stable, respectful partnership with clear boundaries, repaired intimacy, and a plan you can follow.

As an LCSW specializing in children and adolescents, I envision my ideal client as a young person who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, trauma, or difficulties with emotional regulation. I often work with youth who feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or unsure how to express what they are experiencing internally. I recognize that many of my clients are navigating complex family dynamics, peer relationships, academic pressures, or significant life transitions. I strive to provide a safe, consistent, and nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, validated, and supported.

I am LGBTQ safe and neurodivergent-affirming.
Are you exhausted from overthinking, people-pleasing, and trying to keep it all together? After so long being the strong one for everyone else, you may not even know what you need anymore. You are not broken, weak, or “too sensitive” and you don’t have to do this alone. I want to help you no longer feel quite so stuck, to be less overwhelmed, and to have better boundaries and healthier relationships. Being grounded and more in control of your emotions is a goal we can work on together - and you will never have to feel like "too much" or "not enough" in my office.

Is 2026 the year you come back to yourself and heal your inner child? Past trauma/abuse/neglect can leave you with self-doubt and keep you struggling in relationships. Current stress can also trigger past hurts, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. Whether you are leaving a spiritually abusive environment, wanting to heal from childhood abuse/neglect, or leaving a bad relationship, I would love to come alongside you. As trauma affects our mind, body, and spirit, it's important that my clients feel safe to bring their whole selves to therapy; crying, cussing, screaming are all welcome.
