You may be the person others depend on—the parent, caregiver, professional, or family problem-solver—yet privately you feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how much longer you can keep pushing through. Perhaps you are navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, a medical diagnosis, difficult relationships, or concerns about your child. You do not have to carry it alone.
I provide trauma-informed counseling for adults, children, teens, couples, & families. Together, we identify what is beneath the symptoms, strengthen regulation, & develop practical strategies that can be used beyond the therapy space. My integrative approach includes tailoring EMDR, DBT, TF-CBT, expressive art & strengths-based strategies for each client.
Clients often describe me as compassionate and candid—a supportive cheerleader who helps uncover root causes while fostering hope and growth. Whether seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move from surviving to thriving.
