About Me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDRIA Certified Therapist, and Advanced Certified Somatic Therapist with more than 20 years of experience working with individuals and families experiencing trauma, emotional distress, and significant life challenges. My work is grounded in the belief that people are more than the symptoms they experience and that, with the right support, the mind and body have a remarkable capacity for healing.

I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and integrate EMDR and advanced somatic therapy to help clients understand and process experiences that may continue to affect them in the present. I am particularly interested in helping clients develop a greater sense of safety within themselves, reconnect with their bodies, and move from simply surviving to experiencing greater freedom, connection, and authenticity in their lives.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and respected. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and beliefs, and I believe each person's values, worldview, and sources of meaning are important parts of the healing process. For clients who desire it, I am comfortable incorporating Christian faith and spirituality into therapy as a source of hope, strength, and healing.

I believe therapy is not about changing who you are, but about helping you heal the experiences that may be getting in the way of living as your most authentic self. I feel privileged to walk alongside people in their healing journeys and to witness the growth, resilience, and hope that can emerge through the therapeutic process.
