Areas of focus include:

I specialize in supporting individuals with:

  • Trauma and its lasting impact, including PTSD and complex trauma
  • Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
  • Depression and mood-related concerns
  • Relationship challenges, life transitions, and professional burnout

Who I Work With

My practice serves individuals, couples, and small families.

  • Adults and young adults
  • Teens (ages 15–19)
  • Individuals, couples, and small families
  • Military service members and veterans (Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, Retired)
  • First responders (law enforcement, fire service, and emergency medical professionals). Those who have served in the US military or as First Responders are welcome and may be eligible for a 10% fee reduction in appreciation for their service.

Faith-Based Christian Counseling

I offer faith-based Christian counseling for those who desire it. This can provide a space to explore life’s challenges through the lens of Christian beliefs and values, when it feels meaningful and relevant to you.

For clients who do not wish to incorporate faith, that is fully respected. I do not assume or introduce spiritual perspectives unless you choose to bring them into our work together.

My role is to meet you where you are - creating a space that is thoughtful, respectful, and aligned with your individual needs and preferences.


EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process and heal from painful or overwhelming experiences. It can reduce emotional and physical distress while supporting healthier ways of responding.

Together, we identify unresolved experiences and work to lessen their impact. This process is gradual and collaborative, often leading to meaningful relief and a greater sense of ease in daily life.



Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP)

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centered approach that helps process trauma and the effects of early attachment experiences. It focuses on the connection between body sensations, emotions, and thoughts—supporting healing that goes beyond insight alone.

In our work together, we move at a pace that feels manageable, using gentle awareness of the body to help shift patterns that may feel stuck or overwhelming. This approach can lead to deeper, more lasting change over time.

A typical session involves guided body awareness exercises, gentle movement, and mindful reflection, emphasizing the connection among body sensations, emotions, and thoughts—supporting healing that fosters hope and reassurance.

SP may be helpful for:

  • Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
  • Intense or difficult-to-manage reactions
  • Post-traumatic stress symptoms
  • Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
  • Relationship challenges or attachment wounds
  • Early experiences of loss, separation, or neglect
  • Difficulty finding enjoyment or meaning in daily life
  • Persistent self-doubt or negative beliefs



Clients often describe me as a steady, calming presence in difficult moments.          I walk alongside you as you navigate challenges that can wear down your sense of well-being and make daily life feel harder to manage.

Here, you’ll find space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’ve been carrying.
