About My Clients

To the outside world it may appear that you have it altogether, yet no matter how hard you try you suffer from self-doubt, people pleasing, burn out or guilt when putting your own needs first. You may be carrying the weight of others’ expectations, feeling disconnected or questioning your worldview. You're stuck and something needs to change. Together, we can rebel from the pain of anxiety, trauma, and wounds of childhood programming.

My Background and Approach

As a therapist, I act as a mediator to the many different inner parts of you, and I help you bridge those parts so that you can access your own innate wisdom. Compassion, vulnerability, and curiosity serve as the foundation for all of my work with clients. I hope to bring a calming energy to our sessions, and I will enter our work together with open-mindedness and willingness to meet you where you are. I take into account the unique aspects of each individual (such as your worldview, culture, race/ethnicity, gender expression, daily habits, family of origin, spiritual beliefs, etc.) in order to tailor therapy sessions to you. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), so my services are trauma informed and I incorporate therapeutic techniques that encourage insight-building, and guidance on taking actionable steps toward healing and change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every person already has within themself what they need to change, and it is my role as a therapist to walk alongside you through this process.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
