Life often throws us challenges that even our best efforts can’t fully resolve. Whether it’s daily stress or major life events, these experiences affect us in unique ways and push us to cope however we can—sometimes relying on habits that may do more harm than good, or turning to support systems that fall short when we need them most. Together, we’ll work to uncover the core issues keeping you “stuck” and introduce mind-body connected coping strategies that empower you with the tools to live the life you truly deserve.
I'm an LPCC and EMDR trained clinician and work from a trauma-informed lens, creating a space where clients feel seen, supported, and safe. I have experience ranging from helping people navigate crisis to anxiety and depression. I lead groups for chronic pain and grief, and offer intensives for parents and couples looking to reconnect and heal.
We explore all aspects of your life, helping identify the most effective interventions and supports for your unique needs. I see counseling as a collaborative partnership—where we work side by side using evidence-based, innovative practices to uncover what’s getting in the way of the life you want to live. I look forward to starting this journey with you!
