Feelings of depression, fear, anxiety, confusion, anger, grief, trauma, and other struggles beset us all at times. I believe creating an environment where everyone can feel safe and heard is vital, and cultivating a therapeutic alliance to be alongside individuals as a nonjudgmental support in the journey to wholeness and independence. I listen for unique needs and preferences and utilize an eclectic and integrated approach to working with the whole person. With empathy and compassion I will also ask challenging questions to explore ideas, new ways of thinking and understanding, and guide intuitive discovery for meaningful change.
I hold degrees in Music Therapy and Mental Health Counseling, I am EMDR-Certified, am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, and also a Certified First Responder Counselor. I specialize in trauma work, depression, anxiety, addressing life transitions, and navigating the challenges of emotional and psychiatric disorders. I also provide couples counseling.
Serving diverse clients in a multitude of settings such as psychiatric hospitals, public schools, community mental health, forensics, and the VA has given me deep insight into the human condition and taught me that everyone's story is important. We will begin wherever you are, and work together with your strengths to build the life you want.
