About My Clients

Are you tired of carrying the weight of unresolved trauma or difficult life experiences? Well you are in the right place! I am excited you are here and taking this step towards bettering yourself. I provide counseling for children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals who are ready to break free from the cycles that are keeping them stuck and provide the tools necessary for lasting change so you can live a more fulfilling life.

My Background and Approach

I utilize a client centered, strengths-based, trauma informed approach to therapy. I believe therapy should be a safe and collaborative process to guide individuals to evaluate, understand, and process thoughts and experiences that will allow for greater healing. I will meet you where you are at in your journey and draw upon your strengths to empower you as you process all life has thrown at you, as well as challenge thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that might be keeping you stuck. With my holistic approach, I will integrate all facets of your life into our work. I tailor my theory and interventions to meet each client's individual needs and abilities and therefore, have understanding and practice in various evidence-based modalities. I am trained in EMDR. My goal is to help you feel your most confident and successful self and to be able to tolerate and successfully navigate this unpredictable world. Want to gain confidence, and live a healthier more fulfilling life? Lets get started

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In my time as a therapist, I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings providing individual, group, and family counseling. I have also enjoyed providing therapy services to multiple private and public elementary and high schools to make access to care easier for students and families! I love all the outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, wake surfing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. I enjoy exploring new places through travel and sharing in others culture and food. I’ll never skip a good cup of coffee or flavorful tea, a binge worthy show, and spending quality time with loved ones.
