LPC, 16 years of experience
New to Grow
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have someone by your side, offering warmth and understanding as you navigate life's challenges and transitions? With over 15 years of experience, I have dedicated myself to being that supportive presence for individuals like you. In addition, I am a parent a content creator and a cozy person who enjoys the simple things in life!
In my work, I draw from a tapestry of therapeutic modalities, including DBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, ACT, Somatic Healing, Trauma-Informed Care, and Compassion Focused Therapy. These approaches enable me to provide a comprehensive and holistic framework for healing & growth.
If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and well-being, I invite you to join me in a compassionate and empowering space. Together, we will explore psychoeducation, nervous system regulation, and coping skills, helping you thrive in the face of life's challenges.
My passion lies in assisting a diverse range of populations, including those struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, and neuro-diversities (ADHD/ASD)
I have been trained in EMDR and use it regularly in my work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and adverse life experiences. I integrate EMDR , somatic techniques, and nervous system regulation strategies to support clients through reprocessing distressing memories. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, and I incorporate cognitive interweaves when needed to help clients deepen insight and strengthen adaptive beliefs. EMDR has been especially helpful in my work with individuals experiencing complex trauma, chronic shame, and emotional dysregulation.
I use ACT to help clients build psychological flexibility and relate differently to their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My work often focuses on values clarification, mindfulness-based strategies, and committed action to support clients in moving toward meaningful goals even in the presence of distress. I’ve found ACT to be especially effective with clients struggling with anxiety, trauma responses, and self-criticism. It pairs well with somatic and trauma-focused work, helping clients create space between themselves and the stories their minds tell.
Somatic work is central to my trauma-informed approach. I guide clients in tuning into their bodily sensations, helping them develop awareness of how trauma, stress, and emotions are held in the nervous system. This includes grounding techniques, breathwork, movement, and gentle tracking of somatic experiences. I often incorporate somatic exercises within EMDR or other talk-based therapies to support regulation and deepen processing. Helping clients connect to their bodies with curiosity and compassion has been profoundly healing in my work with those who’ve experienced trauma or chronic dysregulation.
I incorporate DBT into my work to help clients develop skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. I’ve found DBT especially helpful for clients who experience intense emotions, chronic shame, or have difficulty navigating relationships. I integrate DBT in a flexible, client-centered way—often using real-life examples and experiential exercises to support skill application. I also weave in validation strategies and a trauma-informed lens, ensuring clients feel both supported and empowered as they build new coping tools.
