I believe healing begins when we have a safe place to be fully seen, heard, and accepted. Reaching out for counseling can feel vulnerable, and my hope is to create a space where you feel comfortable bringing your whole self. Whether you are navigating the effects of past experiences, struggling in your relationships, or simply feeling stuck or overwhelmed, you do not have to walk through it alone. My approach is collaborative and individualized, and I strive to meet you where you are while walking alongside you throughout your healing journey.
I especially enjoy working with young adults as they navigate the many transitions that come with this season of life. Whether you are figuring out who you are, navigating relationships, making decisions about your future, or adjusting to new responsibilities and expectations, these transitions can bring both excitement and uncertainty. I enjoy creating a space where you can slow down, process these changes, gain clarity, and feel more confident in who you are and where you are headed.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Ministry and Human Services from Lancaster Bible College and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. My background in social work has allowed me to work with diverse individuals and families, including survivors of human trafficking, young parents, pregnant mothers, women who have experienced abortion, and children in foster care.
I incorporate a variety of trauma-informed, holistic, and somatic approaches into my work, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), also known as parts work. I am fully trained in EMDR through the Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute (TICTI). Above all, my hope is that counseling becomes a place where you can feel understood and begin to reconnect with yourself. Your story deserves to be honored and met with compassion, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take steps toward healing.
