About me
I am a licensed professional counselor who is dedicated in helping people process through their past traumas and current struggles to a place of thriving and hope.
People experience different levels of fear that might keep them from beginning therapy. First and foremost, creates a space that is open to healing the unique challenges people encounter. I listen with an intent and a belief that “through clarity comes positive change.” This further supports my desire to share the healing journey with my clients in a way that also results in sustainable change. Healing is a process that benefits from being in a space that is comfortable and safe to freely explore the source of struggle. To accomplish this I utilize methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma Therapy, and CBT strategies. This all contributes to creating a space where you can build resilience through a new, transformational narrative. I believe everyone holds the unique answers to their troubles that can be more easily discovered and healed through the therapeutic process.
