A Bit About Me

I have worked in the counseling field for many years and consider myself a lifelong learner. Throughout my career, I have gathered many evidence-based tools and strategies that I love sharing with clients. I see counseling as a collaborative learning experience — we explore together, gain insights, and discover ways to increase your resilience, well-being, and joy.

What You Can Expect From Therapy

  • Reduced anxiety and worry: If you are tired of overthinking or over worrying about situations in your life, and wish to go through your day more calm and relaxed? Therapy will help tremendously.

  • Greater emotional balance. If you suffer from unexpected triggers to anger or sadness (perhaps from past experiences) I am here to help

  • Make better life decisions: If you are making decisions that will greatly effect you life circumstance, therapy offers a grounded, supportive space to think clearly and choose well.

  • Clearer direction forward. If your are making decisions that will greatly effect your life circumstance, therapy offers a grounded, supportive space to think clearly and choose well.

My Approach to Therapy

In our sessions, I focus on your strengths, possibilities, and capacity for change. I genuinely believe each of us has the ability to navigate challenges, manage stress, and build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with ourselves and others. I integrate several therapeutic approaches to support your goals. My work often includes:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): reframing thoughts and patterns to achieve more positive outcomes

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): understanding and working with your inner parts

  • Trauma-Informed Therapy: with many years of experience addressing PTSD and developmental trauma using approaches that include EMDR

  • Couples Counseling: drawing from Gottman Method principles and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to strengthen connection and communication

  • Neuroscience practices for brain and body balance

I remain deeply committed to ongoing learning and to offering clients the most effective, evidence-based practices available. Thank you for taking the time to visit my practice — I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater well-being and joy.
