I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and as a counselor, it's my passion to come alongside individuals who seek to deepen their self-awareness and cultivate healthier long-lasting relationships. A foundational belief I hold is that we are created for relationships, and those relationships can shape or break us. With that being said, I believe the sacred relationship between client and therapist has the ability to offer profound opportunities for both healing and transformation. My primary goal in treatment is to make sure every person walks away from session feeling seen, heard, and felt.
In my practice, I tend to work with individuals facing issues such as anxiety, depression, inner criticism, codependency, and relational distress. Being relationally oriented, I place a great deal of emphasis on concepts such as attachment, trauma, and somatic/ physiological experience. I also prioritize addressing emotions with curiosity and immediacy
If you're feeling overwhelmed and burdened by life, my hope is to offer you a place of refuge through the storm. Healing is a journey that takes time and a whole lot of self-compassion. If you're looking to genuinely express yourself, establish change, and be challenged in personal growth, let's chat. My mission is to help you live your most authentic life.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma related to their relationships or family. During initial sessions, we will delve into personal narratives and attachment backgrounds, as well as tend to present concerns.

I find mindfulness activities and coping skills to be helpful for the majority of my clients. I place a great deal of emphasis on somatic experience and awareness, building a deeper connection with one's internal and external world. I also enjoy using IFS parts work as a way for clients to develop a compassionate and integrated relationship with Self.
