About My Clients
I have experience working with trauma, substance use, behavioral and process addiction, depression, anxiety, grief. Counseling is about more than symptom relief — it's about breaking free from the constraints of our past and living more authentically. We explore your deepest needs, develop your strengths, and move toward your potential. I believe deeply in the human capacity to make meaning and growth out of suffering. I'm licensed in AZ, MN, OH, GA, LA
My Background and Approach
I've worked in mental health treatment for fifteen years, serving in clinical and leadership roles across private practice, residential treatment, and community mental health. This breadth of experience has deepened my ability to meet people where they are and work with a wide range of presenting concerns. My approach is integrative and depth-oriented. I have trained extensively in Existential-Humanistic (EH) therapy, Somatic Experiencing (SE), EMDR, dream work. I also draw on solid training in Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Motivational Interviewing, employing these approaches thoughtfully as indicated by your needs and goals. EH therapy is the orienting framework for my work — a relational, experiential approach concerned with presence, meaning, authenticity, and what it means to live fully. I teach EH therapy with the Existential-Humanistic Institute. I write for Psychology Today and have scholarly publications coming out soon. Creative folks, readers, writers may resonate.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I stand for cultivating a safe, culturally informed approach to counseling and healing. I believe in meeting people where they are — with openness, warmth, and genuine curiosity about their lives and experiences. I am affirming and welcoming of all communities, including veterans, first responders, busy professionals, young folks finding their way, introverts, extraverts, LGBTQ+ individuals and families, BIPOC communities, neurodivergent individuals, and those within the kink community. My commitment to these communities is not simply professional — I have loved ones who are LGBTQ+, and presence within and alongside diverse communities has shaped who I am as a person and a clinician. I recognize that a wide range of societal and systemic pressures profoundly shape our mental health. The struggles people bring to counseling rarely exist in a vacuum — they are embedded in culture, history, relationships, and the particular weight each person carries. I work to hold all of that with care.
