I view counseling as both a privilege and a partnership between my clients and myself. There is no more important journey than healing the pain within that hurts, discovering the joys of who you are, creating meaning and purpose in your life, while simultaneously enabling the expression of healthy emotions, developing more secure relationships, and managing life's stressors.

I work as an integrative therapist, drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to each client's specific needs and goals. I am a trained EMDR therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and I bring a trauma-informed lens to every client relationship — whether we're working through anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, PTSD, or complex PTSD.

I believe our life's journey is ultimately a journey toward our truest self — one that takes real courage, since life often layers over who we are with experiences that make deeper self-exploration feel unsafe. My role is to walk alongside you as a steady, trustworthy companion, helping you meet the obstacles along the way — many of which we won't recognize until the journey has already begun.

As James Finley writes, "When we risk sharing what hurts the most in the presence of someone who will not invade us or abandon us, we unexpectedly come upon within ourselves what Jesus called the pearl of great price: the invincible preciousness of our self in our fragility" (Finley, 2018, Invincible Preciousness, Center for Action and Contemplation). That is the space I hope to offer you here.
