About me
I am a person-centered counselor who integrates EMDR therapy to provide clients a safe, affirming space for healing, growth, and self-discovery.
Sometimes life presents challenges we don’t feel equipped to face alone. Relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem issues, and unresolved trauma can weigh you down and have you wondering if you'll ever feel better again. Or sometimes, just trying to navigate the teen years, young adulthood, midlife, or empty-nesting can feel overwhelming. If this is you, and you’re feeling stuck or unsure about where to turn next, I would love to meet with you and help you figure out a plan to start moving forward again.
My approach to counseling is warm, authentic, person-centered, and trauma-informed. No matter what issues you're working through, in our sessions, you'll find a safe and supportive space to process your feelings, heal old wounds, make important life decisions, and grow in greater understanding of yourself and your relationships with others.
