I decided to become a Counselor because I have a passion to see people overcome what once felt impossible and live the life they desire. Life can bring many obstacles and hardships that can require us to change, grow, and need healing, all of which can be difficult and take time. I believe each person has the inner capabilities to overcome and flourish once those skills are discovered.

Anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, sudden anger, poor relationships and difficulty fully connecting often stem from trauma. I specialize in the treatment of all types of trauma (recent, longterm, childhood, etc.) and its resulting symptoms. Trauma can come from unhealthy family relations, sudden accidents or long-term abuse. These conditions are difficult to treat using only talk-based therapy and you might have noticed little improvement with previous therapy. I use both verbal and non-verbal techniques to help re-program the brain. This gives you a more effective way to process your trauma and clear the symptoms you are experiencing.

As a counselor, my goal is to help you through life’s transitions towards healing, self-discovery, and wellness. We are all human, and part of our humanity is learning how live our lives authentically. We've all felt immense joys and immense lows, and as a result, we've all adapted many ways of coping through it. I'm committed to walking beside you through your journey, lending a listening ear and offering a sounding board for your internal dialogue. Through real conversations, deep reflection, and a little bit of humor and grace, healing is possible.

Managing anxiety, low self esteem, and mood regulation can often feel helpless and overwhelming. These impacts sometimes lead to a lack of connection with yourself and others around you. These connections are incredibly valuable and important to your growth. My goal is to help adults navigate anxiety and build self-confidence in order to improve mood regulation and connection to yourself and others. Many individuals that I work with have gone through this journey alone and desire a safe space that provides compassionate guidance and person-centered therapy tailored to their individual needs.
