Hi there — I'm Audra, and I'm so glad you're here.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Counseling and Development, and I've spent my career working with people who are carrying more than they should have to carry alone — anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and all the messy in-between.

I've worked in both school-based and outpatient settings, which means I've supported people from adolescence through adulthood. No matter where you are in life, I've probably sat with someone who felt exactly the way you feel right now.
