About
My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and empowered as you work through life's challenges. I am dedicated to helping individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves and offering support as they grow and heal. I encourage my clients to enhance self-compassion, mindfulness, and connection in ways that feel meaningful and true to who they are. I welcome and affirm individuals with disabilities, diverse cultural and religious identities, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those who live in rural areas. My approach to therapy is rooted in trauma-informed and person-centered care. I utilize and incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic theory in my work to meet the individual needs of each client. I am an EMDR Therapist and integrate a polyvagal-informed nervous system approach.
