(she/her)
I started In Between Counseling because I know firsthand how overwhelming life’s transitions can be—whether it’s navigating the teenage years, stepping into adulthood, or figuring out who you are in the chaos of work, relationships, and parenthood. I specialize in helping teens and adults manage stress, anxiety, and depression, guiding them through the messy "in-between" moments of life with humor, empathy, and straight-to-the-point honesty.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for over 20 years to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT gives us practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. In sessions, I use CBT to help clients identify stuck points, reframe thoughts, and take small, manageable steps toward meaningful change in their everyday lives.
EMDR
I use EMDR with clients who have experienced trauma, anxiety, or distressing life events that continue to impact their well-being. Trained in EMDR, I guide clients through this structured approach to help the brain process and release stuck emotional memories. It's a powerful method that allows healing without needing to retell every detail. Many clients find EMDR helps them feel lighter, more in control, and less triggered in daily life.
