​Therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all approach and therefore I support the Integrative therapy model which gives me the greatest flexibility to use different techniques from various models. This offers a client what works best for them.

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds. ~ Carl Rogers

Welcome! I'm honored that you are here. My training and counseling approach will follow your process and assist you in finding new ways to understand yourself. Together we will learn better ways to cope with your challenges. 

I work with many mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, ADHD, traumatic stress, life transitions, C-PTSD, relationship issues, parenting, and much more. My specialties include highly sensitive people, creativity, and giftedness.

I see the counseling process as an emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reframing based on psychological awareness by supporting you with new tools and techniques in a non-shaming approach. With each step, there is a deeper way to understand yourself better. ​
I offer my undivided attention, deep-listening skills, support, respect, expertise, and experience.

My highest aim is to provide a safe, therapeutic relationship for your exploration, growth, and healing.
