I am a licensed professional counselor intern inspired to serve others in working through anxiety, depression, loss, life transitions, and unresolved trauma. I believe that we naturally move towards wholeness, and in therapy we can discover what’s in the way and explore it with curiosity and kindness. I am trained in the latest research in neuroscience as well as older wisdom from the field. Supervised by Sunny Lansdale, LPC-S.
