Hi there! My goal is to support folks in reconnecting with their innate wisdom and authenticity. I believe that you are the expert of your life, and my role is to hold space for exploration and a deeper connection with yourself. The areas that I'm passionate about include grief and loss, trauma-informed care, self esteem issues, anxiety, and somatic-based work. I work with children, teens, adults, older adults, families, and the LGTBQIA+ community. My goal is to foster an environment filled with safety, warmth, and trust.
I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and Narrative Therapy while tailoring each session to your unique needs. Together, we may explore the stories you have carried about yourself, notice how emotions show up in your body, process memories, and build greater self-trust.
I'm a big proponent of befriending our younger selves, tending to their needs, and providing them with what they may have never received. I love to make room for laughter and celebrating wins/strengths in the process. I believe that my role as a counselor is deeply sacred and I'm honored to be a part of your journey.

I often use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR in my practice. The goal is to understand and befriend all parts of yourself with a curious and compassionate lens. Whether we're using IFS, EMDR, somatic techniques, or talk therapy, my hope is that you leave sessions feeling understood, empowered, and gain a deeper sense of trust in yourself.
