- LCSW-C
I am a seasoned trauma based therapist who is passionate about helping you find your balance and better understand the "what? why? and how?" that impact your daily life. I prioritize psychoeducation and believe that by the time we are through, you should have the knowledge and skills to feel confident without me.
I prioritize balance and compassion for the humanity of how we show up in the world while encouraging growth towards being our best selves.
I hold certifications as a Clinical Trauma Professional and as a Sex Offender Treatment Provider and have specialized training in EMDR, DNMS, healing from religious trauma and high control groups, as well as psych based nutrition fundamentals. Using these we will work together to set a strong foundation, process the past, and synthesize your parts of self so you can move forward with emotional resilience and increased confidence in your ability to thrive.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
