I help clients who want practical relief ,emotional clarity & real progress- not just talk.
Whether you're navigating addiction, depression, trauma or intense emotions, you don't have to do it alone. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing mood dysregulation, trauma, addiction, neurodivergence and LGBTQIA+ issues.. I also specialize in working with young children & teens as well as adults. In therapy, you'll be met with authentic support, empathy, & collaboration. I believe you're the expert on your life, and together we'll build a plan that makes sense for you and what you want out of this work.
First session
In our first session, we'll get to know each other, explore your goals, & co-create a plan tailored to your unique needs. You'll be heard without judgment- no pressure, no assumptions. I use practical tools drawn from strengths-based, trauma-informed, CBT and DBT approaches to help you: Feel more emotionally regulated, reduce distressing symptoms, strengthen coping skills, & build confidence and personal insight. I meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.
Strengths
We'll use body -based grounding & nervous system regulation skills such as polyvagal-informed regulation, grounding through sensory orientation, breathwork for hyperarousal vs. hypoarousal, bilateral stimulation, and pendulation & titration to help you feel safer in the present-not just talk about the past. I also am trained in EMDR. I help educate you on the window of tolerance, trigger mapping & response planning. Before processing trauma, we focus on safety, stabilization and building coping skills so the work feels manageable- not overwhelming. Many clients tell me they feel more grounded & understood, they've gained tools to manage difficult emotions, experience fewer intense reactions day-to-day and have greater clarity about their goals & direction. Your pace & comfort matter- every step forward is a gain worth celebrating.
Ideal clients
My ideal client at Radical Renewal Counseling LLC is someone who may feel deeply, think differently, or have spent years feeling misunderstood. They may be navigating trauma, neurodivergence, addiction, challenges with emotion regulation, or questions about identity and belonging. They might be used to masking, people-pleasing, or putting their own needs last. They’re looking for an affirming space where they can show up as themselves—including the messy, uncertain, or overwhelmed parts. LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients may especially connect with my warm, collaborative, human-to-human approach. Together, we work toward understanding patterns, building practical coping skills, strengthening boundaries, and creating a life that feels more authentic and meaningful. My ideal client doesn’t need to have the right words, a clear goal, or everything figured out. We can begin wherever they are.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I assist clients in decreasing negative thinking patterns to help them improve their quality of life via teaching them how to challenge those thoughts and come up with more positive thought schemas.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I am certified in DBT. I assist clients in utilizing it via teaching them distress tolerance skills such as radical acceptance and TIPP skills to help decrease emotional vulnerability and assist in decreasing self-harm.
Trauma-Informed Care
I utilize trauma-informed care with my clients via recognizing their unique experiences and circumstances and helping them peel the onion layers back to process trauma in a safe place while empowering them by giving them the tools to be able to cope with flashbacks and symptoms. We'll use a variety of tools such as physical or somatic exercises to decrease mood dysregulation and/or trauma flashbacks and to also assist with feeling more grounded.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I work with you to help you discover different parts of yourself through parts work and identifying how we can unify these parts to make peace with them instead of fighting against them.
