New to Grow
There are countless methods for healing & moving forward. I provide a judgement free place to find your way & figure it out. Commitment to my clients begins with a belief in the ability of individuals to advocate for themselves & choose their own path. You decide how you want to live your life. Our instincts, emotions & feelings are a gift; they are the natural barometer for navigating our lives. Often we misinterpret or fear those emotions & fall into a holding pattern as to how to move forward. We all get stuck. Let me help you move forward. The best work is done when we are honest and open about who we are, and where we want to be. Counseling is guided through your ideals & values. This is your time. My experience is rooted in the mind + body connect. Scientific research continues to prove more about the brain and body connection than we have ever known, Come along and let me teach you. Working through & assimilating the somatic experience of life, freeing ourselves from trauma & bumps in the road.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will cover the basics, and will serve as a "getting to know you" appointment. I like to take time to connect and ensure that it is a right fit for your needs. By the end of your first session, we will have a plan on how to move forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I’m experienced at helping people tackle serious, sometimes scary changes without letting it feel heavy or overwhelming. I believe there’s humor in most things, and I have a knack for finding the golden thread in life—the small, meaningful moments that make growth possible and even joyful. Coming from a large family has prepared me to work alongside clients in an honest and grounded way.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is… someone who’s curious about themselves, tired of feeling stuck, and ready to shake things up a bit (even if it’s scary!). They want change, but they also know life is way too short to take too seriously. Humor isn’t optional—it’s essential, and we’ll use it to navigate the hard stuff, celebrate the wins, and maybe laugh at ourselves along the way. They’re interested in the mind-body connection and want practical ways to make their everyday life feel better, lighter, and more them. If you’re ready to grow, explore, and embrace life with curiosity and a sense of humor, we’ll get along great.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a focused, brain-based therapy that helps access and process trauma, stress, and emotional blocks that are often stored beneath conscious awareness. It works by identifying specific eye positions (“brainspots”) that connect to unresolved experiences held in the nervous system. I have used Brainspotting to support clients who feel stuck in patterns that traditional talk therapy alone hasn’t fully resolved. In my practice, I use it to help clients safely access deeper emotional material while staying grounded and regulated. Many clients experience Brainspotting as powerful yet gentle — allowing the brain and body to process at their own pace without having to retell every detail of their story.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to provide clients with clear, actionable tools that they can apply immediately in their lives. In my practice, I focus on helping clients recognize patterns, challenge negative thinking, and build skills that create lasting change.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In my practice, I use DBT to gently teach mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance skills, always tailoring them to each client’s unique needs. I prioritize creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life with more calm and confidence.
EMDR
EMDR is a gentle, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and release traumatic or distressing experiences that may be stuck in the body and mind. It allows healing to happen naturally, without having to relive the experience in detail. In my practice, I guide clients safely through EMDR in a paced, supportive way, helping them process difficult memories while strengthening resilience and self-compassion. Many clients find it a powerful tool for reducing emotional intensity and creating lasting relief.
Mind-body approach
This therapy emphasizes the deep link between your mind, body, and emotions, helping you uncover how stress, trauma, and daily patterns show up physically and emotionally. By tuning into both your inner experience and bodily sensations, clients can release tension, gain insight, and foster lasting healing. As my primary focus, I guide clients in a gentle, holistic way—integrating awareness, breathwork, movement, and reflective practices—to support self-discovery, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. My approach is nurturing and individualized, helping clients feel fully seen, grounded, and empowered in their healing journey.
