I believe that your past doesn't have to control your present or future—lasting healing and change are possible. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in working with adults and teens who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, painful memories, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and patterns that continue to affect daily life. I want to help you heal from trauma underneath the anxiety and exhaustion so they can stop white-knuckling life and start actually living it. If you’ve learned to cope by overthinking, people-pleasing, striving for perfection, staying busy, or simply pushing through, you’re in the right place. I use evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Exposure Response Prevention, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I also integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Christian counseling perspectives into my practice. Whether you're processing a difficult experience, managing intrusive thoughts, or struggling to manage your emotions, I'm here to meet you where you are and help you move forward. I work with children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and elders via secure telehealth sessions. I accept Optum, UnitedHealthcare, and Carelon Behavioral Health, and I'm currently accepting new clients. Let's work together toward the healing you deserve.
