About My Clients

I help teens and women 15 years old and up heal from burnout, anxiety, and big life transitions through somatic therapy, EMDR, and nervous system work. We start by building safety and trust, then explore the patterns and emotions underneath so you can feel more grounded, more whole, and more like yourself again.

My Background and Approach

Working with me feels warm, supportive, and deeply human. I'm not a "clipboard therapist", I show up as a real person and meet you exactly where you are. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where your voice, your pace, and your goals matter. We’ll explore not just your thoughts, but also what’s happening in your body and nervous system. Together, we'll create a space that feels grounding, empowering, and filled with authentic connection.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Success, for us, is when a client walks into our office, takes a deep breath, and knows they have found a place where they are understood, supported, and cared for. It's when parents feel confident that their child is in the best possible hands, and our young clients feel like they have a home away from home. Success is when we see the positive transformations, growth, and happiness in the lives of the individuals we are privileged to work with. At Moonchild Counseling, we are dedicated to being the guiding light, the support system, and the trusted friend that every young person needs during the challenges of adolescence and college life. Join us in this journey of self-discovery and growth, and let us be the ones to remind you that you are not alone. Together, we can build a brighter future for you.
