About

I am a Nationally Certified Counselor, EMDR and Trauma-Informed, an Advanced Clinical Relapse Prevention Specialist, Licensed Clinical Supervisor, and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I believe that change must begin internally, and that shame is at the core of everything that keeps us stagnant. In order to produce change, we must water the roots instead of watering the leaves. That being said, many of us channel our energy into maladjusted behaviors such as blame, control, and other attempts to change external circumstances. This is simply ineffective; We must look inward. I predominately practice mindfulness-based stress reduction as well as trauma-informed care. Using an insight-oriented, psychodynamic, and EMDR approach, I help my patients to navigate through their journey into wellness. I know the non-negotiable importance of a therapeutic relationship and aim to cultivate a safe space of trust, compassion, and empathy. In addition to mental health therapy, I am incredibly passionate about writing, public speaking, and consulting. I also have a YouTube channel where I upload videos specifically aimed at emotional wellness!
