Every client who comes to therapy has a story to tell, a lived experience that matters. My goal in therapy is to tune in to you and all that you bring in with you to the session; to create a safe and nurturing space for you to work through whatever may be causing you distress.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience, I work from a Trauma Informed perspective, with an attachment lens, and utilize a variety of modalities to meet a client's individual needs. I believe deeply in the connection between mind, body, and heart. We carry stress and trauma, not only in our minds, but in our bodies as well. Our bodies provide us with key information about what's happening on the inside. I use Somatic Therapy (attention to the nervous system and mind/body connection), Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and a technique called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you live into your life with more fullness and joy.

Because movement in the body creates movement in the brain, I also offer Walk and Talk Therapy sessions, where we hold the therapy session outside as we walk together, utilizing the bilateral stimulation of the brain that naturally happens when we walk or hike.

Perhaps you come with a trauma background, anxiety, depression, grief, relational conflict, or something else that ís creating stress in your mind and body. It is my hope to help you explore the pain and obstacles that are holding you back, to identify the strengths that carry you forward, and to help you walk connected in each area and important relationship in your life.
