Compassionate care, empowering change—together, we’ll overcome

Welcome! Therapy is about having a good "fit" that can blossom into a great therapeutic relationship. A therapist who is willing to listen while working alongside a client is essential. Treatment often sounds very clinical; however, I encourage you to remember that the goals and objectives of treatment are intended to be collaborative and client-directed. Therapists are not meant to "fix" people but are called to be catalysts of change through which the client navigates their circumstances. As an eclectic and integrative therapist, my role is to listen and provide options for treatment approaches that fit your needs in a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere. I look forward to being a part of your team.

I offer a compassionate and collaborative space where you can explore the challenges that arise from anxiety, stress, experiences of trauma, and other life situations. My clinical and personal approach is humanistic and solution-focused, while also being direct. I am deeply committed to anti-oppressive practices that focus on the health and dignity of my clients. Together, we'll uncover your strengths and resources to help you navigate challenges and create meaningful change. My role is to support your journey of self-discovery and empowerment, as we build on what's already working and shift what isn't.

I believe every individual has the capacity to define who they are and who they want to become, regardless of their past. My job is to help you reconnect, redefine, and re-imagine who you are by discovering what matters most to you. My primary goal as a counselor is to create a space for every individual to explore their lives and find opportunities to grow and create the change they want to see. I take a holistic approach to the counseling experience by exploring nutrition and physical activity with a unique therapeutic approach that combines CBT, Existentialism, Shadow Work, and Dream Analysis. My mission is to help you gain control over Stress and Anxiety, understand and transform past Trauma, navigate Life Transitions, and explore faith-based and spiritual concerns by re-establishing broken or lost connections with who you are, and what is most important to you.

Maybe everything hurts, our hearts shadowed and strange. But only when everything hurts may everything change. - Amanda Gorman. Everyone's lived experiences are vastly different and finding a therapist who can honor and understand these differences is essential to success. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I believe in tailoring our sessions to meet your individual experiences, needs, and goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) who is passionate about providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients as they grow. I take a collaborative and holistic approach, building a 'helping' relationship based on compassion, empathy, and trust, empowering those I work with to cultivate and create the best version of themselves. I enjoy incorporating aspects of mindfulness (DBT) and art therapy, along with strategies that consist of a strengths-based and person-centered approach. If you are looking to heal, grow, and/or make positive changes in your life, I'd love to stand beside you along the way.

When we go through difficult seasons, it is easy to feel alone and isolated. When bad things happen to us in the past, they tend to shadow our present; we feel trapped, as if we can never escape from our history. We may feel that we can never improve and that it's all hopeless. However, there is hope, there is healing, and there is wholeness. As your therapist, I fill the role of "empathic witness" by meeting you where you are and walking alongside you in your journey to wholeness. Based on my understanding of the mind-body connection, my professional philosophy involves working with you to explore how your body and brain influence your thoughts and emotions. Together, we can change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, manage overwhelming emotions, and promote calmness in both your body and mind. I value the therapist-client relationship because it is essential for fostering healthy change. I strive to help you feel safe, secure, and empowered in our sessions. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals who have a trauma background and are feeling stuck in their anxiety and depression. Together, we can help you regain control over your life.
