About

I can't wait to meet you!

Lived experience and the intrigue for learning more about myself and others first brought me to the counseling field. I’ve since gained the privilege of being able to connect with my clients and support them through healing old wounds and building inner security. I take pride in my role to assist you with exploring all parts of you with compassion and acceptance. I take a relational approach that is active, trauma-informed and culturally sensitive. Being deep-rooted in person-centered therapy, I put unconditional positive regard and empathy at the foundation of my work. I particularly love using my training in EMDR to meet my goal of helping you break down old messages that have kept you feeling stuck and afraid in order to live a grounded life. You can expect me to bring my own authenticity to the room while playing an engaging role in providing feedback to encourage change. While I work with adults 18+ with various needs and backgrounds, I have a passion for working with LGBTQIA+ clients, neurodivergent folks, generational trauma, and navigating challenges with family of origin. My hope is that no matter your background, in working together you will feel heard and understood as we navigate through past and present hardships to explore a healthier, more grounded you.
