Life can take us down many different roads. Sometimes those roads can have bumps, holes, or be so deteriorated that it's difficult to travel. Counseling is an effective way to navigate life's difficulties. I treat a wide range of issues such as depression and other mood problems, anxiety and stress, relationship issues, life changes, adjustment to disability, behavioral issues and many more. Over my career, I have had opportunities to work with all ages and varied mental health problems. My goal for everyone I treat is to help them identify their problems and work to resolve those issues so that they can move forward in life.

Using this approach values the person and facilitates a customized treatment plan for the individual.

As a queer, neurodivergent counselor, I believe that an individual's identity is integral to the therapy process. I understand that each person has a unique perspective, shaped by their experiences and intersecting identities. My goal is to empower emerging adults by collaborating to share knowledge, reframe negative internalizations, and foster self-congruence. My theoretical orientation is primarily trauma-informed and person-centered, influenced by feminist and civil rights leaders. My approach is integrative, holistic, and process-focused, in service of identifying pragmatic, achievable solutions.

Having obtained my specialization in trauma and abuse while navigating the pandemic, I am deeply prepared to work through the complex and compound trauma that individuals experienced in the last few years. Working from an attachment and interpersonal neurobiological approach, I engage with clients relationally, and work to invite them into exploring their own patterns of relating and behaving. Our trauma deeply impacts our ability to connect with and relate to ourselves and others, thus impacting our ability to handle life's stress and many challenges. I hope to create a structure of hope and stability for each client I work with.

In addition to traditional talk therapy sessions, I also work well with clients who are seeking a holistic approach to address emotional, mental, and spiritual/energetic needs. The body-mind connection is integrated into individual sessions facilitated to your specific issue or life situation. Through counseling and/or Reiki, I work to assist you in finding or re-learning to trust your inner voice to help you more effectively deal with past trauma, or challenging family or social situations. I am highly intuitive, assisting you to clear what is blocking you energetically on emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual levels.

I understand how important it is to feel like you can authentically be yourself in therapy. The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of any therapy process. When working with me, we'll do the hard therapy work BUT we'll also make jokes, laugh, find things we have in common, celebrate our differences & move through the many emotions that come with being human. Relationships and our connections drive so much of our development over our lifetime. The relationship we often work on the least is the one with ourselves - yet, this one might be the most important.

Are you ready to overcome the belief that something is wrong with you? Do you struggle with: low self-esteem, dis-empowerment, creating healthy relationships, setting boundaries, self-compassion, or self-care? These issues are common in our society today- there is a collective belief that somehow, no matter what we do, we are intrinsically flawed or broken. We have traded the sacred truth of our own experience for self-aggression, self-judgment, and self-loathing, and we feel miserable.

Are you feeling stuck? Or trying to find peace in a off balance world? What's getting in the way of living a satisfying life, one with heart and meaning? You may be coming to therapy because of a new development or something very old, you may not even know what it is. You may also be adding to your burden by judging your self unfairly. But there is hope, therapy can usher in exciting transformation. When we can embrace the gifts that come with challenges, old fears lose their power. I deeply enjoy helping clients reclaim their power to choose, creating a more satisfying path forward. Healing and growth is possible for you too.
