ACMHC
Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor

Have negative patterns been shaping your life? Are you ready to transform your story—for yourself and for future generations? Many of us have beliefs that are binding us to versions of ourselves we’re ready to outgrow. I advocate for courageous cycle breakers and create fiercely empathetic spaces to look at foundational threats to wellness. Understanding how personal history, family attachment, trauma/abuse, and societal power imbalances can hijack our life stories, I’m dedicated to helping clients unearth true stories and step into new possibilities of health. I would be honored to support you as you rewrite the role you play in your life story.


I will help you build on your unique strengths to create a path forward through issues like transitions, trauma, and broken trust. I can help you navigate dysfunctional family dynamics, codependency, perfectionism, anxiety, relationship issues, attachment issues, divorce, co-parenting, psychological abuse, trauma, shame, low self-worth, and grief/loss.


I will help you feel safe enough to get curious about your feelings, beliefs, and behavior so you can decide what you want to bring with you into the future and what you want to leave behind. I’ve stared into the darkness of trauma to pick up the shattered pieces of a life I thought I would have. I understand the fear and paralysis of that space. Filtering decisions through an aspirational story became a catalyst for growth and healing and let me rediscover my truest self. I believe that healing happens against a social backdrop where we can explore the complicated aspects of our humanity. I would love to help you move forward in new ways to find your best story.


We will work together to understand the stories that are driving your feelings, beliefs, and actions and then find the best way to shift away from the patterns that are no longer serving you. I integrate IFS, CBT, family systems, and attachment perspectives into a predominantly narrative approach to therapy.
