I believe that each individual brings their own experiences and is the expert of their own life. It is my honor to have the opportunity to explore those experiences with you and navigate a journey of healing. Together, we can create a safe space that allows you to explore, cultivate, and embrace your highest self.
Along with empathy, acceptance, and humor, I practice from a Holistic Viewpoint while utilizing Trauma-Informed Practices and Individual Psychology. I aim to assist the client in viewing their life holistically in order to achieve an overall sense of well-being. My intention in counseling is to join you on a journey that allows you to embrace your strengths and create a deeper understanding of yourself.

Life will throw many twists and turns your way, and counseling provides the support to navigate through these challenges in a healthy manner.  I believe that counseling is a great way to achieve the life you want and to heal from past and current pain. It is an effective way to foster healthy communication and relationships with yourself and others.

My approach is based on communication and gentle guidance, assisting clients in developing the necessary skills to achieve their personal and life goals. My clients gain an awareness about themselves, along with the confidence and knowledge needed in order to function as the person they wish to be. I work with clients to help them discover what they already have inside.

I am a highly trained trauma therapist with expertise in cutting-edge modalities, including EMDR, brain spotting, psychedelic Somatic and innegrative psychotherapy. Certified through Maps training, I have honed my skills in trauma resolution techniques. My rich educational background includes training with renowned experts such as Richard Schwartz, Rick Doblin, Sunny Strasburg, and Dan Siegel, further enhancing my proficiency in trauma therapy.
