I’m a licensed counselor with nearly 15 years of experience supporting individuals through difficult challenges and individuals only needing more support for stressors. I specialize in trauma-informed care and am certified in EMDR and TF-CBT. My approach is warm, direct, and solution-focused. I help clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions by teaching emotional regulation and coping strategies that are practical and effective.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you in and explore your current challenges and emotional experiences. We’ll discuss your history, what you’ve tried before, and what your goals are for therapy. I’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. You’ll leave the session with a better understanding of what’s going on emotionally and some initial strategies to start building emotional regulation. It’s okay if you don’t have all the words yet—just showing up is enough to begin.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths are consistency, compassion, and clinical skill. I rarely cancel sessions and offer dependable support. I’m direct but empathetic, and I balance evidence-based methods with warmth and relatability. With certifications in trauma-focused modalities like EMDR and TF-CBT, I know how to help clients move through deeply painful experiences without feeling overwhelmed or stuck. I empower clients to build emotional strength, confidence, and stability one session at a time.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work best with individuals who feel emotionally overwhelmed—whether from unresolved trauma, relationship struggles, grief, anxiety, or depression. Many of my clients are parents, students, working professionals, or individuals recovering from toxic relationships or burnout. Some are navigating life changes or battling intrusive thoughts, nightmares. I also support those experiencing anger issues, suicidal ideation, or difficulties regulating emotions. If you’re ready to take steps toward healing and want someone consistent and trauma-informed by your side, I can help.
