About My Clients

If you are struggling through life's challenges, it can be helpful to engage the company of a skilled listener who can serve as a mirror and a process guide. Finding meaningful support for your healing journey can make a difference. In addition to addressing problems, it is equally important to expand on one's internal resources and desired states of being. My aim is to help you transform what no longer serves you and to tap into the inner wellspring of healing that already exists inside of you.

My Background and Approach

I offer integrative counseling that welcomes you in your uniqueness. Mental health is an integral part of the whole body, not just a product of what happens in the mind. A variety of targeted approaches can be included. Depending on your needs, talk therapy alone may not be enough to access desired change. Incorporating deeper emotional processing, trauma healing, nervous system regulation skills, or lifestyle optimization strategies may be very helpful. I am a strengths-based, trauma-informed therapist. My specialties include: emotion focused therapy, brainspotting, somatic & parts therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and grief counseling. I can work with you on a range of issues. Whether you need help with anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, coping, boundaries, relationship and communication struggles, stress management, or you have other goals, I consider it an honor to witness your story and collaborate with you in support of your healing journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I fully honor the personal beliefs, values, and context of every client that I work with. I aim to understand your subjective world and see it through your eyes. I will meet you where you are, and I will incorporate approaches that make sense for your healing journey. As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe in applying a deeply compassionate lens with every client. Mental and emotional pain is not a pathology to be labeled. It is a human experience that deserves to be met with empathy, care, connection, and the opportunity for healing and wholeness.
