I specialize in companioning individuals, couples, and families through trauma reactions, focusing on how they interact internally and in relationships that are deeply valued. Trauma reactions can stem from a variety of sources, some of which have resided below the surface, yet disrupt the present despite efforts to keep them at bay. Shame, guilt, fear, and depths of hurt can often shadow the simultaneous desire to grow, recover, become self-compassionate, and reclaim joy and laughter. I use a gentle approach to meet individuals where they are at, while wholeheartedly embracing their strengths.

Everybody hurts and everybody struggles at some point in their lives. I believe that it is how we respond to and learn from these experiences that make growth and healing possible. Sometimes, we all need a helping hand. Hlin Counseling is rooted in the belief of the power of connection and compassion to help people to not only navigate but transform their lived experiences into sources of strength, resiliency, and self-discovery. I partner with my clients to create a plan to address current symptoms and to explore the underlying patterns and beliefs which may be sustaining them to empower people to fully live and enjoy their lives.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure what to expect or worried about being judged. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to open up about personal struggles. While conversations around mental health have become more common, reaching out for support can still bring up nerves, uncertainty, or self-doubt. My priority is to offer a calm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe being yourself. You don’t need to have the “right words” or know exactly what you want to work on—we can figure that out together, at your pace.

I take a collaborative, strengths-focused, trauma-informed approach in my work with clients. I see the therapeutic relationship as one where we are working together as a creative team to promote healing and understanding of the issues that the client brings to session. Creating a safe space where my clients feel seen, validated, and understood is the core of my therapeutic practice. It is important to me that my clients feel completely accepted as their authentic selves, no matter what struggles or emotions are present at the time of our session.

I currently have openings on Fridays and Saturdays. Do you ever feel like life is not going as planned? Sometimes we think we have it all figured out, but then health problems, grief, menopause, career changes, or just the state of the world led to the realization that there was no way we could have planned for any of this. Life doesn't pause while we figure out what to do next and it can lead to overwhelm and frustration. Maybe you are struggling as a caregiver or parent while still trying to understand and process your own upbringing and childhood; or are a helper experiencing compassion fatigue from a career you love.

At the heart of my approach is the belief that you can forge beyond what you've been through- moving past feeling stuck and reconnecting with your strengths and purpose. Many of my clients include veterans, first responders, executives, athletes, creative professionals, and medical providers with diverse cultural backgrounds. In addition to chronic stress, health, mood concerns, and trauma-informed care my other area of specialty incorporates performance psychology to help clients excel in high-pressure roles.

Feeling anxious or depressed is a reasonable response to living in an uncertain world. For many of us, recent years have brought loss and trauma. It may feel like you will never heal. Learning to cope and adapt may feel overwhelming. You want to be your "old self again," but it feels impossible. You may have tried to heal yourself, only to realize you need help. You may hesitate to seek help for fear of being judged. You may feel that you are alone in your struggles, but I want you to know that you are not alone. There is hope.

In life we can often feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, or stuck in patterns of thought and behaviors that leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.

My goal is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings, heal past wounds, and develop healthier coping strategies; thereby helping you regain control over your mental and emotional well-being so that you can begin living more freely and authentically.
