LPC-A

Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate

I help adults & teens live fuller, more authentic lives. The complexities of life can weigh on us, affecting our energy & perspectives. Maybe you have gone through some painful or challenging experiences. A part of you is calling for something different & that brought you here now. Many issues come from low self-worth, or from losing trust in our inner voice after painful experiences. However, this wisdom is always inside us & will continue to create “symptoms” & “problems” in our life in an attempt to get our attention. Trust that feeling the desire to change a pattern is a sign you’re ready for the challenge required.

With self-compassion, we see that we did the best we could at the time. With resilience, we move out of stagnation & turn our experiences into growing opportunities. This is how we transform our pain into wisdom & strength.

Some areas of focus:

  • self-worth, depression,
  • reconnecting to your intuition,
  • spiritual journeys,
  • family of origin, identity,
  • life transitions,
  • empaths/intuitives/highly sensitive people,
  • grief, over-thinkers who need help feeling, trauma,
  • integrating psychedelics or other transformative experiences,
  • “canaries in the coal mine,”
  • those who feel misunderstood,
  • disruptors to the status quo… & more.

My approach is heart-centered, relational & trauma-informed. I meet you where you are by combining various approaches. I primarily use Psychodynamic theory, Mindfulness, IFS/Parts work, & Attachment theory.

Most importantly, I focus on authentically connecting with you.

I’m down to earth, patient & willing to challenge you as well.
