The strength and courage it takes to be able to share our experiences is a beautiful and sacred part of being human. My passion is to help individuals express, embrace, and empower their whole selves. Through trauma work, we have the opportunity to break free from shame, guilt, fear, and struggle. This helps us reclaim our power and build resilience. This doesn't justify the pain or trauma, but I wholeheartedly believe that the root of our pain is also the source of where our healing begins.

My approach is direct and encouraging. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC), Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), and Nutrition Specialist (CMHNS), I am devoted to therapy that explores how trauma shapes the nervous system and influences our mindset, beliefs, and emotional responses. Through continued education in neuroscience and integrative health, I can help you understand the elements of the mind, body, and self. This way, we learn about the unique makeup of your whole self and how these elements manifest in your life. With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I have supported individuals navigating complex trauma, including:

  • chronic stress, insomnia, and health concerns
  • Neurodiversity including head injuries, TBI, ADHD, and ASD
  • burnout, people pleasing, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and work-life balance
  • emotional, physical, and sexual abuse
  • codependency and attachment trauma
  • religious, cultural, and generational trauma
  • grief, loss, and bereavement

I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.
