About My Clients

My clients often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from themselves, loved ones, or their purpose. Many are healing from trauma, managing anxiety, or navigating substance use. They seek a safe, nonjudgmental space to be seen and heard, and to feel hopeful again. Together, we work toward healing, growth, and reconnecting with their authentic selves through compassionate therapy.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor with a supervisor designation. Since 2016, I’ve worked with diverse clients in home, community, and outpatient settings, and now provide therapy exclusively via telehealth. I’m EMDR certified and incorporate mindfulness, art, music, movement, and other creative approaches to make sessions engaging and personalized. My style is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative, providing a safe space where you can explore challenges, process emotions, and rediscover your authentic self. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling. I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen and heard, and I’m committed to walking alongside you at your own pace, helping you build hope, resilience, and lasting change—wherever you are.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone deserves a safe, affirming space to be seen, heard, and valued exactly as they are. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and deeply support diversity in all its forms. I openly support the Black Lives Matter movement and am committed to practicing cultural humility in my work. My volunteer experience at a rape crisis center deepened my passion for supporting survivors of trauma and advocating for those whose voices have been silenced. I approach therapy with compassion, respect, and a belief in the inherent worth and dignity of each person. I value authenticity, kindness, and the courage it takes to heal. My goal is to create a space where you feel empowered to explore your story, embrace your identity, and move toward a life aligned with your values, hopes, and dreams.
