Pre-Licensed Professional
Accepting clients Last Updated 9 days ago

I am a counselor at Blue Ridge EXA, an integrative care practice where we specialize in grief, life transitions, and the effects of medical trauma. In our sessions, you can expect a person-centered and integrative approach, one that honors your inner knowing while gently exploring the patterns and stories that shape your experience. I work with those who are experiencing the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and navigating times of uncertainty and change. I am an expressive arts therapist, and offer a compassionate, safe place to explore your experience.
