(she/her)
Losses, social isolation, family tensions, work fatigue, health, and uncertainty have created an imbalance in our lives, consequently decreasing our overall wellness. We are all striving to grow the life we desire. I've been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) since 2008 and have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, AD(H)D, substance use, trauma, and relationship conflicts. I enjoy empowering individuals to grow. Together, we can develop a toolbox of resources to help you become more resilient.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Whether you have previously had therapy or this is a new experience, feeling apprehensive is ok. Relationships are essential. I strive to make our appointments feel more like a conversation, and while there is a structure to the session, you have complete flexibility to guide your goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have worked in trauma-informed care with nonprofits since 2004 and started private practice in 2022. In addition to working as an independent professional counselor, I have freelanced in art and design and worked in environmental and social advocacy. I participate in my own counseling and growth work and have deep respect for anyone on this journey.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with a range of clients, but those I am most open to serve are those who want to make a regular commitment to growth and see the value of therapy.

Integrative
Integrative therapy is a holistic approach to treatment that recognizes the interconnectedness of mind and body, viewing mental health within a broader context that includes physiological, social, and emotional factors.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT focuses on acceptance, mindfulness, and values-based action to develop a non-judgmental awareness of thoughts and emotions. The eventual goal is to live a meaningful life aligned with one's values, even in the presence of uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.
Existential
Existential therapy focuses on the anxiety and uncertainties that are part of life, such as death, loss, the fear of the unknown, and the meaning of life.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach that helps people change their behavior by exploring their own reasons for wanting to change.
