I know reaching out for help can be daunting and overwhelming. I am here to make this process easier for you. My counseling style is strength-based, meaning I like to focus on the many positive traits you already possess and work collaboratively to reach the your goals. We are all searching for acceptance and understanding and I am here to help with that. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folks, non-monogamous relationships, those that have experienced trauma, depression, and anxiety. EMDR and IFS tend to be protocols I use most often with clients. For teens, the youngest I serve is 17 years old.

I am a licensed professional counselor providing individual therapy services for adults, adolescents and children. I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach to counseling. I believe clients are the experts on themselves, and through the safety of the counseling experience, are able to gain insight into their true emotions and discover their own solutions and way forward. I believe that our too-busy, over-connected societal norms urge people to stifle their feelings and reject vulnerability. With genuine, non-judgmental encouragement and support, I believe clients can not only self-discover but can ultimately self-heal.
