Do you have a stack of partially read self-help books collecting dust in the corner? Maybe you had hopes they would provide the information you were seeking to stay cool and collected through challenging times – because let’s face it, 2020 was pretty much a shitshow and many have experienced increased stress and anxiety since. It is alright to feel overwhelmed, confused, and uncertain. When stressors create intrusive thoughts of not being enough or fears of abandonment, it can be helpful to talk to someone. Whether you are looking for coping strategies to build resiliency through life transitions or wanting to explore deeper parts of yourself and how you relate to the world, I am here to support you.
I wholeheartedly believe in the ability to change regardless of life circumstances. Our sessions will be filled with humor, empathy, and compassion as we focus on making progress towards your desired outcome. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey to find your authentic self as we work together to create transformational growth.
12 years of clinical experience. S.A.F.E. EMDR trained. Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addiction Counselor & specialized training and experience in intimate partner violence. I am certified as: a Clinical Trauma Professional Level II, Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist, Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and Clinical Telemental Health Provider.
