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.

Therapist

I take a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy, tailoring my treatment approach to each client's unique needs and goals. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients better understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and reactions.

I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop greater acceptance of difficult emotions and circumstances that may be out of their control while taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. With seven years of experience as a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I utilize evidence-based skills and mindfulness practices to help clients improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build resilience.

Many of the people I work with are navigating profound turning points — preparing for adoption, navigating post adoption, moving through family transitions, or facing separations that reshape everything they've known. Others have quietly carried the weight of growing up without a strong family foundation, wondering why trusting others, or even themselves, still feels so hard. Whether you're a parent trying to show up for your child while processing your own pain, an adult learning to ask for what you need, or someone still figuring out who you are and what your purpose is, you've come to the right place.
