Specializing in attachment-based, client-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, I guide clients through shifts in beliefs, purpose, and identity. My therapeutic approach includes attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Whether questioning faith, exploring sexual or gender identity, or re-evaluating relationships, I provide a judgment-free space to understand and process these changes.

I appreciate the complexity of people. I believe in trying to understand all aspects in someone's life and recognizing the impact of their experiences, relationships, and understandings into the current way of life. There are reasons for certain beliefs about ourselves and others. I utilize my training and my own self in helping a client come to witness ideas and behaviors within themselves And then, find ways to make changes, find balance, and maybe even happiness.

I strongly believe that the foundation to healing happens through acquiring the ability to become grounded and centered. This is key in our getting on the other side of our anxiety, shame, depression, or whatever our personal struggles may be. I am certified in EMDR and find the approach effective as it allows the element of choice and the availability of insight not often found in traditional therapeutic approaches. I am a strong believer in the client therapist relationship as being key to success in therapy. I offer virtual sessions via Wellnite's platform; register here: https://www.wellnite.co/practice/register/655b6cfe83dc

I had the experience that many others have had of going to therapy at a young age and finding it to be lacking. Very rarely was I asked what I wanted or what I believed would help me. For a long time, no one taught me how to trust my own voice. Now, I believe the greatest goal of counseling is to achieve a stronger relationship of trust and love with yourself. That is why I use evidence-based & trauma-informed therapy models to guide our work together, but you will always remain the expert of your life. I want to help you learn to hear, understand, and trust your own voice.
