About me

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 serving are those who want to make a regular commitment to growth and see the value of therapy. You are welcome to message me before our first appointment.

A breath of fresh air! Focused on me instead of just the 'issues' that are making me not able to be me right now. Pleased with the first session and already booked for the next one.
