Hi there! I work with individuals (teens & adults) struggling with Grief, Anxiety, and Trauma. A specific area of interest for me has been working with those who have tried therapy in the past, but for whatever reason had difficulty showing up fully in the counseling space. My aim is to change that narrative with relational psychotherapy, somatic processing, & EMDRIA approved EMDR. I have clinical experience working in areas such as depression, shame, self-harm, suicidal ideation, body-image issues, eating disorders, life transitions, faith-based issues, relational challenges, phobias, addiction, & self-esteem.
Welcome to my office!
I am trained in EMDR and somatic processing. These interventions, along with IFS and DBT skills, make up the backbone of how I do evidence-based psychotherapy. Therapy with me, is integrative and holistic, tailoring my approach to meet your needs and align with your values.
Overall, my role is to help you figure out where you are, so we can get you to where you want to be. I love what I do and I can't imagine doing anything different. Through psychoeducation, somatic practices, skill building, narrative processing, & EMDR, I am hopeful that together we can write a new story that is more empowering, encouraging, and meaningful.

I implement an integrative perspective, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, Narrative, Somatic, and Person-Centered approaches. I have a certification in the Enneagram model, training from the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, & I am trained in EMDR. Ultimately, I follow the current research and tailor therapy to my clients instead of trying to fit my clients into a specific therapeutic approach.
