About My Clients

I work best with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity shifts, or major life transitions. My ideal client is someone seeking a grounded, compassionate space to understand their patterns, reconnect with themselves, and move toward a life that feels steadier, clearer, and more aligned with who they are.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC, QMHP‑C) with training in trauma‑informed care, EMDR, CBT, DBT skills, and mindfulness‑based approaches. Over the years, I’ve supported clients through trauma, anxiety, identity shifts, and major life transitions. My experience helps me create a steady, attuned space where clients feel genuinely seen and supported. I use my clinical skills to help people understand their patterns, regulate their nervous system, and move toward healing in a way that feels safe, collaborative, and grounded.
