Specializes in: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, LGBTQIA+, Mood Disorders

Introduction

I specialize in working with adults who are living with the effects of Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) resulting from religious trauma, childhood abuse, and/or emotional neglect. Many of my clients have spent years feeling disconnected from themselves, struggling with shame, anxiety, people-pleasing, or difficulties trusting others. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can process painful experiences, reclaim their sense of identity, and move toward healing, self-compassion, and empowerment. With more than 25 years of experience in the mental health field and 17 years as an LPCC, I am dedicated to helping adults navigate life transitions, anxiety, mood disorders, and other life challenges. I am EMDR-trained and currently pursuing EMDR certification, and I strive to provide a supportive, compassionate space where clients can work toward healing.
