I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in somatic therapy, helping children, teens, adults, parents, families, and faith communities heal through the mind-body connection. My approach integrates Somatic Experiencing principles with trauma-informed care, attachment-based therapy, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, behavior supports, expressive arts, nature-based practices, and culturally responsive care to address emotional and behavioral health needs.
I help children, teens, adults, parents, and families build practical skills for healing, regulation, and change. My work centers somatic therapy and integrates culturally informed, trauma-informed, behavior-focused, and experiential approaches to support trauma, anxiety, ADHD, parenting, identity, grief, cultural stress, and life transitions.
Taking the first step can feel overwhelming when you are carrying stress, trauma, or family concerns. You do not have to do it alone. I offer a warm, respectful, and practical space to be heard, build skills, reconnect with your body, and move toward meaningful change.
