My Journey Into Counseling
My passion for becoming a counselor was born out of my own personal recovery journey. For many years, I struggled with the feeling that life simply wasn’t working for me the way it seemed to for others. Before I reached out for help, my search for answers led me through painful experiences—broken relationships, depression, substance use, codependency, and a constant striving to be perfect or at least "good enough."
Eventually, in a place of desperation and exhaustion, I reached the end of my own efforts and finally turned to counselors and mentors for support. This decision changed everything. Through the guidance I received, I began to understand and appreciate the unique person within me. I discovered peace, joy, and the freedom to live fully. The relief and hope I experienced were so profound that I felt called to help others find their way to the same transformation.
I believe that many people seek answers within themselves, but can become stuck due to pain, confusion, fear, or misguided influences. Counseling can be a powerful tool for helping people reconnect with their core identity and uncover the best version of themselves—often hidden beneath layers of trauma and survival patterns.
I work with adolescents and adults of all ages who are navigating challenges related to relationships, trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, mood disorders, social anxiety, and unresolved emotional pain. Many of my clients struggle with a deep inner conflict—feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, emotions they can’t explain, or patterns they feel powerless to break.
I also specialize in working with individuals and their loved ones who want to overcome addictive behaviors, as well as the painful emotions that often drive those behaviors. Addiction can become a way to avoid or numb unresolved hurt. However, when those core issues are addressed and begin to heal, the intensity of cravings and the need for escape often diminish significantly.
Most importantly, this is your journey. Our work together is about discovering answers that align with your values, goals, and desires. I am here to walk alongside you—helping you rediscover hope, recognize your strengths and internal resources, and support you as you heal from pain, grow through struggle, and move toward the life you choose.
Whether you're looking for insight, transformation, or simply a safe place to be heard, our time together will focus on honoring your story while equipping you to step into greater freedom, purpose, and well-being.
Addiction, depression, fear, grief, low self-esteem, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable behaviors and emotions that can be experienced at some point in life. Through counseling and treatment, you are able to foster hope, recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you want in your life. Together we can create goals that make sense for your life and help you find the freedom you desire.
Many people become disillusioned, depressed or turn to addiction as a way to avoid pain associated with trauma. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger long after traumatic events. In our sessions together we can develop the most effective way to overcome trauma and associated symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. I am EMDR Trained which is an effective method for resolving the painful effects of trauma, and NARM Trained which is a therapeutic approach to work through attachment wounds, developmental issues, and complex trauma that gets in the way of managing your life they way you want.
INDIVIDUAL INTENSIVES are available for individuals who want to commit to an extended amount of time to make some changes and gain new perspective of their life over a couple days. This can be 6-12 hours (with breaks) over 2 days or a schedule that best meets the goals of the individual.
Relationship counseling can be beneficial when pain and disappointment have replaced a commitment that previously was characterized by love and joy. This can occur in marriages, between parents and children, and in other significant relationships. Counseling may help find a path forward in the relationship by learning new ways to communicate and connect in respectful, loving, accepting, encouraging and supportive ways as well as growing in understanding of how past relationship wounds can impact present relationships by triggering old, unresolved pain, abuse, or abandonment issues.
COUPLE INTENSIVES are available for those who want a relationship RESET and are willing to commit to 12 hours of intensive therapy over a 2 day period.
My Credentials and Approach
I am dual licensed in both Addictions Counseling and Professional Counseling. In addition, I have pursued studies in Biblical Counseling and natural healing, which have enriched my holistic and faith-integrated approach to care.Because trauma is often at the root of the places where we feel most stuck, I have pursued extensive training in trauma-informed modalities.
I am trained in:
These evidence-based approaches allow me to work effectively with developmental, relational, complex, and shock trauma.
