Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in old patterns? As a Licensed Professional Counselor I have built a reputation in our community for the ability to make meaningful and transformative connections. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Many of the people I work with are students, professionals, parents, and veterans who are seeking more than just symptom relief—they want to build resilience, heal old wounds, and live with greater presence and purpose, while developing practical skills to improve quality of life and relationships.
Therapy with me is a supportive and collaborative process that brings together modern psychology and contemplative practices. We’ll work with evidence-based modalities, attachment-informed therapy, and body-based approaches so that healing happens at both the mind and nervous system level.
Whether you are struggling with daily stress, recovering from trauma, or simply wanting to live with more presence and ease, therapy can help you find a path forward. If this approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can create the space you need to heal, grow, and discover the resilience within you.
