Counseling is for everyone. I enjoy walking with people through difficult seasons in their lives, watching them come out with new perspectives and strengths. I have experience with medical situations, including: crisis, trauma, grief/loss, new diagnosis, school issues, and professional caregiver support. I also enjoy working with the LGBTQ+ community. In addition to my work with adults, I have a special interest in working with children and adolescents. My hope is to help you ease the emotional and mental suffering that goes along with life-rocking transitions, to find optimal functioning and wellness in the life you want. View 5 Photos When serving children I also work with parents. My goal is to help you find the words to explain difficult situations in age-appropriate ways, and to stay connected to your child through challenging family experiences. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment therapy, EMDR, Play Therapy techniques, as well as Expressive Arts Therapies. I bring a lot of warmth, compassion, and humor to the counseling environment. In our work together, I hope you will find new ways to process trauma, and to turn down the thoughts and worries that bring you away from your goals, and "turn up" the experiences that bring you joy. If you think we'd be a good fit in our work together, I'd love to hear from you.
