Therapists » Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
To move through suffering and risk hope of something better takes such courage. My work finds its foundation in a deep respect for that choice. I meet my clients’ courage by welcoming all parts of them- their overwhelm, strengths, grief, hopes, and fears. That welcoming manifests in my curiosity, care, and genuine empathy for your experience. My grounded presence, calm yet playful demeanor, clarity of thought, and feedback-informed approach have helped folks safely share their inner world. That safety can be deeply healing, and through it I've witnessed my clients move from simply surviving to living a life of vitality and meaning. I take great care to honor my clients’ engagement in this process by providing competent, ethical care. To that end, I employ mindfulness, CBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, existential therapy, Gestalt. and ACT as my main therapeutic modalities. I work from a trauma informed lens and am mindful to ensure my approach matches your goals for our therapeutic work. I’m at my best working with issues of trauma, depression and anxiety, unhelpful and addictive behaviors, family issues, parenting, and life transitions. I love helping people translate overwhelm and paralysis into goals and meaningful personal action. If this feels like a good fit, I hope you'll reach out to explore how our work can support you.
