I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor with over a decade of clinical experience. I am passionate about providing people with space to share their story, and I am always working to fine-tune my ability to fully hear and respond to that story. My ultimate goal as a counselor is to help people move toward insight, authenticity, and connectedness. I have an eclectic approach to counseling, though my tendency is to understand clients through a psychodynamic lens. I am conscientious about privilege, power, and oppression, and the critical role these forces play for all of us. I am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based treatment modality for trauma. If you think I may be able to help, feel free to reach out in whatever way is most comfortable for you.

There are times in which the capacity to tap into our innate wisdom and inner resources to understand, manage, and resolve internal or external conflict is difficult. We can't seem to make the changes we want or imagine for ourselves and may feel limited, stuck, and not quite our self. This internal or external conflictdistress may show up in our relationships, or as anxiety, insecurity, depression, compulsive or addictive behaviors, and other adaptive mind states. It is during these times that the process of therapy can be a help. I believe that learning to recognize, understand, and consciously get to know our inner world and how we operate in a focused, supportive, and compassionate environment is a big part of the therapeutic process. I work holistically and value the connection between one's mind, body, and spirit. I often say that "it all happens in relationships," either to our self or others. I offer my presence, encouragement, and faith in the person's inherent potential to find a means in which to feel better and live more fully from their True Self.

As someone who lives with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and comes from 25+ years of working in corporate America, I understand how a heightened, stressed, and overstimulated environment effects the mind, body, and spirit. Therefore, I practice from an integrated holistic viewpoint to help align these three dimensions of the individual. My therapeutic approach to counseling is person-centered therapy (Rogerian) with beliefs rooted in psychodynamic theory (Eriksonian & Adlerian). Depending on the needs of the client, I will integrate other therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, narrative, and somatic therapy.
