Anxiety is overwhelming, Grief has been all-consuming and Trauma has kept you stuck. You are exhausted and enough is enough!
Searching for a therapist is no easy task. This may be your first time seeking therapy or perhaps you've previously embarked on this journey. Choosing a therapist that is best aligned for the work you are preparing to engage in is especially important. Therefore, I think it's imperative to know what I believe and how I approach counseling. I believe that healing happens in the presence of compassion, authentic connection, and safety.
My approach is collaborative, validating, and focused on helping you better understand your story. Together, we will explore what’s holding you back to help you begin cultivating a life that you feel good about. Essentially, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing therapy for the parts of you that learned to stay small. My therapeutic style is warm, encouraging and real. It is my mission to close the grief gap and increase emotional wellness in the world.
I’m trained in various techniques that can help you move through difficult emotions, process challenging experiences, and build stronger self-awareness. One way to do so is through Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART does not require you to verbally share your experience in order to process and heal. It is a popular option, but it is certainly not the only option. Your story is unique and so the therapeutic support that you receive must also be uniquely tailored to you.
Therapy provides you with space to discover what matters most to you and take steps toward living with more awareness and intention. Working through the experiences that are weighing you down can help you feel more confident in your decisions, explore boundaries that honor your needs, and find ways to manage life’s demands without being constantly depleted. With increased capacity, you’ll be able to engage more fully in your life while experiencing clarity, self-trust, and renewed energy.
"The human soul doesn't want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed — to be seen, heard and companioned exactly as it is. " —Parker J. Palmer
I am passionate about helping adults untangle the patterns that were never theirs to carry in the first place! Patterns that were shaped by early relationships, loss, and unmet needs. Every client that I work with has a story that deserves compassion, and I’m deeply committed to creating a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. For me, this isn’t just a profession, it’s an honor to help my clients find their way back to themselves. For you to feel less burdened, more free, and more connected to what matters most to you is my heart's delight.
Clients have often shared that therapy with me feels like finally being seen for who they truly are, not who they thought they needed to be. In our sessions, you don’t have to pretend and you don’t have to keep pushing. You get to be fully human and still fully worthy of being just who you are. Little by little, these moments add up, helping you feel different not just in session but in your relationships, your work, and daily life.
I’ve had the honor of witnessing my clients experience relief that comes from their commitment to themselves on their healing journey. Supporting my clients who once thought change wasn’t possible, and seeing them shift from surviving on autopilot to feeling lighter, trusting themselves, and beginning to heal is the most meaningful part of my role as a therapist.
I’m really proud of the work that I get to do, the wonderful people that I get to help, and I am looking forward to working with you! If you’re ready to transform your story into a healing journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
