About My Clients
I work best with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients live with trauma, grief, or ongoing depression while still trying to function on the outside. They want their symptoms to ease, but they also want deeper healing. If you’ve been pushing through and quietly struggling, my practice is designed to support you with care that’s steady, gentle, and built for long-term change.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience in both community mental health and private practice, supporting adults with trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief. My specialties include polyvagal-informed therapy and IFS approaches that help clients not just understand their struggles, but feel safer, calmer, and more in control of their reactions over time. I work effectively with clients by video or by phone, and I’m especially skilled at creating attunement and depth through audio-only sessions when being on camera feels activating. At this time, phone sessions are offered on a self-pay basis. I focus on trauma that lives in both the mind and body, allowing us to gently address symptoms like hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, intrusive thoughts, and overwhelm at their root. I stay actively engaged in advanced trauma trainings because I believe your healing should be supported by both compassion and clinical skill.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, respected, and never judged for who you are or what you believe. This is especially true if being seen feels vulnerable or overwhelming. I value compassion, honesty, and deep respect for each person’s lived experience, and I’m intentional about creating warmth and connection whether we’re meeting by phone or video. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to an inclusive space for all identities, backgrounds, faiths, and belief systems. I care deeply about trauma awareness, mental health access, and reducing shame around seeking support. I value ongoing learning, humility, and being real in the room — or on the line — so you feel like you’re speaking to a human first, not just a clinician.
