If you’ve landed here, you’re likely contemplating counseling—and that’s a brave first step. You may be navigating a life transition or carrying the weight of trauma that’s affecting your relationships, your daily life, and your connection with yourself. You may be feeling stuck in patterns and ready to explore the roots to these patterns. Whatever may have brought you here, my role is to offer a safe, supportive space where you can develop greater self-awareness, and begin shifting patterns that create chaos or rigidity, optimizing your mental and emotional well-being.
I bring over 20yrs of experience working with survivors of trauma, including intimate partner violence, sexual violence, stalking, and homicide loss. I also support caregivers of neurodivergent children (ASD, ADHD) as they navigate emotional, relational, and systemic challenges that come with advocating for their kids. I am also trained in EMDR.
I strive to hold an empathic, nonjudgmental space for every client. I deeply value diversity and difference, and I practice with trauma-informed care. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one that welcomes humor, imperfection, and vulnerability. If you’re ready to explore your goals, build resilience, and thrive, I’d be honored to support you.
