Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Accepting clients Last Updated 23 days ago

Are you interested in healing old patterns and awakening to your authentic self? Are you tired of constantly trying to fit in or be the person everyone else wants you to be? Are you ready to see the world and yourself through a lens of authenticity, love, and acceptance? Are you ready to deepen your relationship with yourself and be “Authentically Me?”

As a licensed professional counselor, I specialize in trauma treatment and PTSD, perinatal mental health, and child and family therapy. I work with individuals ages 12 and older and families of all ages. My expertise is in EMDR therapy although will often incorporate interventions such as somatic work, mindfulness practices, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, parts work, and polyvagal theory.

I offer an intuitive approach to therapy drawing on my experiences as a counselor, yoga teacher, educator, and parent. I recognize the importance of conversation and connection and welcome inquires and questions regarding my practice to determine if we are a good fit. I’m honored to have crossed paths with you and look forward to supporting you on your journey of becoming “Authentically Me!”
