Therapy at Light Work Counseling is grounded in a simple but powerful philosophy: there is light in every person. My work is to nurture it, & reflect it back. You bring your lived experience. I bring a trauma-informed, psychodynamic, relational approach w/ special training in EMDR, CBT & animal assisted therapy. Together, we’ll leverage your strengths using my tools & experience towards a bright future.
This is collaborative work. You are the expert of your own lived experience. Therapy isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about illumination. Like bringing light to a dim space, therapy helps us see more clearly
the strengths that have carried us this far, the resources that were always present, & the possibilities waiting to be discovered.
LWC works w/ clients across the lifespan & from all walks of life. Clients have included people of great privilege as well as people who have experienced homelessness, survived state-sponsored torture, & refugees/asylees.
LWC is committed to supporting diverse spiritual perspectives, & creating safer, more equitable pathways to healing. Light Work Counseling is LGBTQ+ affirming.
