About My Clients
People begin working with me when they are feeling pain as a result of difficult past experiences or current stressful situations. Since 2008, I’ve worked with numerous individuals to help them connect to themselves, to heal, to reach the life they desire, to feel authentic and whole. But most importantly, I’ve helped people find hope, a light, a reason to engage and fully participate in this life.
My Background and Approach
I've had my LPC (licensed professional counselor) since 2010. I recently obtained my LAC (Licensed addiction counselor) in 2022. I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance misuse and trauma. I use the modes of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to help build skills to improve communication, to understand emotions more fully, and to connect with a sense of hope despite difficult circumstances. I use EMDR to help people reprocess trauma that's impacting their ability to move forward and manage addiction or substance misuse.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone has value, valid emotions, and a right to be seen and heard. I also strive to help you feel and be empowered. I've been an ally with the LGBTQIA+ community for over 13 years. I'm also sex positive and open to exploring ethical nonmonogamous relationships concerns and curiosities. I also believe that despite whatever life throws at you, you are able to move forward and find peace. As a breast cancer survivor, I understand how anxiety can steal our joy and negatively impact our lives. Through my own personal and professional work, I continue to learn and help others find relief, peace, and joy. Life is a gift, and I want you to enjoy as many moments as possible.
