“It was not time that healed you.
It was your courage to feel everything you used to run from”
Counselor
Your presence here today is a testament to your innate resilience. And still, navigating life’s stressors can be challenging and feel isolating. You may feel overwhelmed in your daily tasks, fear uncertainty in your future, be learning a new version of yourself in a new phase of life, or feel lost in how to move forward after tragedy.
My passion is connecting with people to empower their own growth and healing through awareness. Together we will intentionally collaborate to develop skills that you can carry with you to live mindfully, authentically, and with purpose. Emphasizing the mind and body connection we will explore how to foster a healthy way of living inside and out. I bring a humanistic perspective with individually tailored interventions from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support your growth. Offering EMDR therapy also allows our work to get to the roots of your pain and ignite your own healing. My goal as a therapist is to provide genuine connection, empathy, and tools to navigate life’s journey with success. You will be heard, valued, and supported.
