Hello, I am very excited to embark on this journey with you to improve your mental health! My approach to counseling combines uncovering negative experiences and beliefs that harm your mental well-being with providing you practical tools to work through these issues. I achieve this by integrating skills from DBT, CBT, and ACT with deeper work through EMDR and IFS therapies. I have worked with a diverse range of clients, including children, teens, families, and individual adults, and I believe that this knowledge allows for a holistic approach to working with each person. I hope that through our partnership, I can offer you the help you seek!

"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss; his wise words sum up my approach to working with any client, from preschool age to midlife. I believe in transparency and client empowerment; YOU are the one who decides what your goals are. My hope and my goal are to help you work through whatever obstacles you may face and develop a roadmap for success. With several years of experience in trauma therapy, I believe in establishing a safe environment, and I promise all of my clients that their voices will be heard. I look forward to working with you and discovering what can become of the journey we take together!

My approach to therapy is based on the belief that we each hold unique, intrinsic value, regardless of the challenges we face. I will work with you to create a safe space to define and achieve your goals through compassion and self-empowerment.I utilize several modalities to best serve your needs and to help you further develop your skillset to create lasting change. I look forward to walking beside you on your journey toward healing, understanding, and fulfillment.I have experience working with clients of all ages, although I primarily work with adult clients. I have experience working with trauma survivors and am particularly passionate about working with survivors of narcissistic abuse as well as suicide loss.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides individualized and evidence-based care to people with a wide variety of mental health concerns in an environment that is professional, respectful, and empathetic. Seeking help can be intimidating. When I first meet someone, I strive to create a safe environment for each client to feel heard, supported, and comfortable. I get to know each client as a whole person with a unique history, life experiences, interests, and goals. My approach to care is always collaborative and flexible, with clients as active participants in their care. By working together, I am confident I can help clients minimize their distressing symptoms, attain a sense of fulfillment, and improve their quality of life.
