About Me

Welcome - I'm glad that you're here!

Taking the first step to even consider counseling can feel overwhelming and confusing. I believe that healing happens within relationships. That has been my personal experience and my primary focus in the counseling process. I strongly believe that we are all doing the best that we can at any given moment. However it is that we are managing to cope, having a trusting and safe place to be is essential. My first task in any counseling relationship is to establish and build upon that safe (or safe enough) place.  As the counseling relationship builds and strengthens, we will collaboratively develop a plan for meeting your goals. I will work to gently guide you in growing and sustaining compassion and care for yourself during that process.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and an EMDR trained therapist. I have worked with adults in various levels of mental health and substance use treatment for over 10 years. My experience includes working with both individuals and couples struggling with trauma, relationship dynamics, communication difficulties, navigating the perinatal/postnatal period, parenting, substance use and the recovery process, depression, anxiety, and most importantly...being human in today's current world. It seems to be feeling difficult for most of us! I utilize a variety of methods and approaches throughout the counseling process, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and others, depending on what seems most appropriate for you at that time. I tend to focus on overall wellness and the mind-body connection.
