I have been a licensed counselor for over 20 years. I support individuals who are experiencing anxiety or depression as a result of trauma. I am a trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) counselor who also utilizes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to provide resources that promote compassion, self-empowerment, and healing.

Trusting in the innate wisdom of each individual, I focus on validating others’ experiences and perspectives, honoring their strengths and successes, encouraging compassion for themselves and others, and asking questions that help to elicit self-awareness and insight. I collaborate with each individual in the use of resources that promote enhanced well-being.

I provide individuals with a safe, nurturing environment that invites healing by:

-listening compassionately

-providing unconditional acceptance

-respecting the self-determination of each individual

-offering resources that promote self-empowerment and healing

-guiding individuals in moving towards their desired goals

-seeking feedback from those in my care
