Hey there! Look at you taking this brave step toward being the best and healthiest version of yourself. I see you!
If you’re looking to live your life more authentically, rediscover your happiness, and finally deal with the things from your past, you have found the perfect place. Maybe your emotions are overwhelming and past traumas are making you feel so bad that it’s affecting your daily life, career, and/or relationships. Maybe you feel stuck and like nothing will ever get better. And maybe, even, you’re numbing out with substances or other activities. I get that! I would be honored to walk next to you on your journey toward healing and living the life you deserve.
My goal is to create a safe space free from bias, criticism, judgment, and harm. I hope that you feel comfortable, supported, accepted, and allowed to be your authentic self. I want to help you achieve the healing you need at the pace that you need. I am understanding, caring, and knowledgeable. I am committed to inclusivity, anti-racism, anti-ableism, and life-long learning and unlearning. I celebrate the humanity of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Neurodivergence, and other oppressed communities.
My life has taken me on a fascinating journey, which has ultimately led me to becoming a Licensed Counselor. In 2004, I completed a Master of Education in Counseling and focused on Career Counseling. I worked in very fulfilling roles as Director of Career Centers at State Workforce Centers and colleges/universities. In 2017, I decided it was time for a change and landed a job in a training department. That experience catapulted me back into the world of counseling. I have truly found my calling.
I am EMDR Trained, and IFS trained (parts work – think the movie Inside Out). Also, I am a Certified Grief Professional. I have lived-experience with substance use and can help you navigate through that!
If you think we would work well together, please include my name on your request for services. I wish you the best on your journey!
