I believe you were born inclined towards love, growth, connection, and meaning, but then life happened. You adapted to survive, sometimes in ways that cut yourself off from important parts. Over time that way of surviving has led to depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD, rage, or any number of undesired outcomes. You are strong – you have survived – and I would like to help you heal these wounds and get you back to (or create for the first time) the life that you deserve.
My training and professional experience has focused on trauma, substance use disorders, grief, depression and anxiety. I am trained in EMDR and the Flash Technique. Additional modalities I work with include Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Being a counselor is by far the coolest job I’ve ever had, and it would be an honor to walk with you toward healing. Additionally, I view things from a trauma-informed, systemic, culturally competent, anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming lens. I am interested in helping you validate what might be a reasonable reaction to an unreasonable system.
