LAPC | Licensed Associate Professional Counselor
M.Phil.Ed. in Professional Counseling 2024 (In supervision toward licensure)
Humans can heal through many methods, but integration is the foundation of long-term healing. Integration is a deep self-understanding that is felt emotionally, cognitively, and physically and touches all areas impacted by difficult experiences.
Finding the right therapist can be challenging; I am committed to creating a space of feedback and collaboration where you can feel comfortable showing up as yourself – unfiltered. I bring a blend of warmth, empathy, and occasional humor to our sessions, helping you process life challenges with more groundedness and resilience. I particularly enjoy working with adolescent clients and adults ages 18-40, and I have a special interest in life transitions, relationships, family-of-origin wounds, and trauma. Other areas of interest include anxiety, people-pleasing, ADHD, women's issues, coping and communication skills, codependency, career guidance, stress management, and self-esteem cultivation.
In our sessions, Internal Family Systems and Attachment Theory inform my therapeutic approach, allowing us to explore current patterns and challenges through the lens of your past experiences. I often integrate somatic techniques and knowledge from Yogic philosophy, Feminist Theory, CBT, and DBT. My training includes certification as a 200 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and expertise in yin yoga, meditation, Reiki I & II, and trauma-informed yoga.
Allow me to assist you as you embark on a journey of profound self-discovery, integration, and lasting transformation. With me as your guide, unravel patterns and foster the courage to evolve with newfound clarity and self-trust.
