Everyone feels stressed or overwhelmed at times, and reaching out for support is a powerful first step. I provide a welcoming, inclusive space for people of all sexual orientations, genders, ages, ethnicities, and racial backgrounds.

I am a fully Licensed Professional Counselor with over eight years of clinical experience. My work is grounded in specialized trauma training, and I hold the Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) credential. My approach integrates EMDR, DBT, CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, the Strengthening Families Program, and Internal Family Systems principles. I have also completed advanced SYZYGY training focused on combining IFS and EMDR.

I support clients working through trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and many other challenges. You’ve already taken the first step toward healing—let me help you take the next one.
