About My Clients
I work with adolescents and adults who feel “off” in their body or mind, even when tests say everything is normal. Chronic pain, gut issues, fatigue, autoimmune struggles, mood shifts, or stress can feel isolating and confusing. I help clients listen to what their body is communicating, uncover patterns that keep them stuck, and feel more balanced, grounded, and connected to themselves and others.
My Background and Approach
I’m a strength-based, integrative counselor who works with mind, body, and spirit. I have formal training in attachment and somatic approaches, and experience using IFS-informed practices. My work helps clients make sense of chronic pain, gut issues, autoimmune flares, fatigue, and mood shifts by exploring how the body and nervous system respond to stress and past experiences. Clients often come to me after seeing many specialists or being told “it’s all in your head.” I help them reconnect with their bodies, regulate emotions, and release tension that has been stored over time. While I’m not a doctor, I provide education on how lifestyle, habits, nutrition, and stress impact overall well-being. Together, we work to restore balance, rebuild relationships, and cultivate resilience. I’m a Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (#APCC19976), supervised by Deana Porter, LMFT #46489.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing happens when we feel seen, safe, and connected to ourselves, our bodies, and our communities. I am a Christian and have training in Christian counseling, and my faith shapes my values and approach to life. At the same time, I fully respect every client’s beliefs and never push my own. My work is compassionate, non-judgmental, and grounded in the understanding that symptoms and challenges are meaningful signals, not personal failures. I support clients in reconnecting with their body, cultivating self-awareness, and building stronger relationships with themselves and others. I value authenticity, curiosity, and hope. My own experiences with anxiety, overwhelm, and nervous system dysregulation inspired me to integrate breathwork, somatic awareness, and mindful living into therapy. I am passionate about trauma-informed care, holistic well-being, and creating spaces where clients feel genuinely heard, safe, and empowered.
