A particular quote by Maya Angelou always resonated with me, “there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”, and has directed my style of counseling, which is very person-centered, compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all deserve a safe space to turn off our editor, speak freely, and release that which is burdening us. The goal is to empower clients by identifying internal strengths, overcoming excessive and often chronic feelings of guilt and shame, challenging negative beliefs and replacing those with a more positive self image. To find your true voice underneath the layers of previous conditioning.

I have worked with survivors of interpersonal trauma for over 14 years, along with those experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress-management issues, low self-esteem, body image issues, and childhood trauma. My approaches include Narrative therapy, EMDR, strength-based, yoga and mindfulness.
We will work together to understand how you perceive the world, and which approaches may work best to facilitate healing. I consider it an honor and a privilege when a person trusts enough to share any part of their story and know personally the courage it takes. I am here to support you along that path, and help you learn to live life on your own terms.
