The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are -Joseph Campbell. Together, we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Somatic Experiencing, Jungian, IFS, transpersonal, mindfulness and social justice oriented.

It takes courage to make the decision to search for a therapist. As an empath being a therapist has always been my calling.

Is depression making it difficult for you to get out of bed? I can help you uncover the root cause of your depression and help you find your purpose in life.

You are seeking to become the best version of yourself that is in true alignment with your inner being.

You yearn to deepen the understanding of yourself and the relationships you keep or have let go of.

You may get caught up in the day to day tasks and easily forget to take time to pause and reflect on what is really happening on the inside.

I am depth oriented, person centered, and art-based therapist. I deeply trust my clients, their wisdoms, and the potentiality of our relationships. In this work, we use and engage the symptoms and experiences of anxiety, depression, insecurity, etc. to move deeper into what often lies beneath these experiences: the enigma of living. Using compassion, acceptance, kindness, courage, and creativity this enigma becomes a dynamic partner in creating the life we want and need to live.

I have an innate desire to help people understand their strengths, as well as their weaknesses, so that they can live their best lives.

My strengths lie with client assessment, counseling and treatment planning, with particular focus in interpersonal and family dynamics. My other interests include building social and community networks and spending time with my dog, Ferguson.

My clients describe me as someone who is loving, compassionate, and provides unconditional love. Clients explain feeling "at home" and appreciate the honesty in my approach.

I provide an eclectic approach, primarily utilizing behavioral, humanistic, psycho-spiritual, and inner child modalities – with a specialization in complex trauma, shadow work, generational patterns, and the journey to authenticity. My practice is person-centered, meaning that I’m a guide in your exploration of self – I may be nudging and pointing things out, but you, as the client, are ultimately leading where we go. My goal is to enrich and point out the positive traits that you already possess, and offer acknowledgment into aspects of yourself or your circumstances that you maybe haven’t seen yet.
