Life brings challenges that can shake our foundation—whether it’s the weight of trauma, the pain of grief, a chronic illness diagnosis, or navigating the emotional landscape that can accompany spiritual questioning or changes in faith communities/affiliations. As a counselor, I offer a safe, grounded space to help you explore these complex parts of your story. I believe healing begins in relationship—with ourselves, with others, and with a trusted guide who can walk beside us as we navigate life’s hardest seasons.
I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Board-Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC) with over 25 years of experience in both medical and mental health settings. I specialize in working with adults and older adults who are experiencing grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, religious or spiritual wounding, chronic or life-limiting illness, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, my goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward greater clarity, peace, and purpose.
My approach to therapy is integrative and personalized. I draw from a range of evidence-based and creative modalities to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. These include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Guided Imagery and Music (GIM), mindfulness-based techniques, parts work, somatic practices, and expressive arts. When words are difficult to find, expressive arts and imagery can offer powerful pathways to healing. I honor each client’s unique lived experience and believe that therapy works best when it’s collaborative, flexible, and rooted in trust.
“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.” – Anne Lamott
