I specialize in helping survivors of childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence reclaim their sense of safety, self-worth, and empowerment. I understand how early and ongoing trauma can deeply affect self-esteem, relationships, and emotional well-being. I’m especially passionate about helping those who feel stuck in cycles of shame, anxiety, or self-doubt find clarity and relief. With over a decade of experience, I’ve supported clients with many different backgrounds and experiences to find healing.
My style is warm, active, and directive—grounded in CBT and focused on helping clients challenge unhelpful patterns, build self-compassion, and create lasting change, Together, we’ll uncover patterns, build self-compassion, and move toward healing at your own pace. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals.
Taking the first step toward healing can feel intimidating. Whether you're ready to begin or simply exploring your options, I invite you to reach out. Cedar Spring Counseling, LLC currently has immediate openings, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your path to growth and healing.

I help clients improve their ability to cope with trauma and sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia, and learn skills to improve their relationships. Together we can shift the loop of negative thoughts that keeps you stuck in feelings of shame and inadequacy. Therapy can be a long process, but most of my clients see improvements in their lives after a handful of sessions.
