Compassionate Care, Always
As a Licensed Professional Counselor who values compassion and authenticity, I strive to offer a space where individuals can find balance, acceptance, and healing.
I utilize relational, neurobiological, and attachment-based approaches to help clients move from stuck points of shame and suffering towards resolution and self-compassion.
I work together with my clients to create a deeper understanding of how our life experiences interact with our nervous system's capacity to help us survive and how we can work with that same nervous system to find our way out of survival mode and into a place of resolution and thriving.
To create a supportive space where healing, growth, and self-connection happen with compassion and intention.
To guide individuals toward self-understanding and lasting change through relational and neurobiological methods.
In my work as a Professor and Supervisor, I enjoy the opportunities to share my passion for lifelong learning with others who seek to expand their understanding and expertise. I utilize a developmental approach to teaching and supervision, meeting counselors-in-training where they are at in their stage of training, prioritizing the development of ethical, culturally attuned, and trauma-informed mental health professionals.
Support through every stage of counselor development.
Inclusive care that honors diverse identities.
Centering compassion and trauma-informed values.
As an Author and Speaker, I strive to deliver an approachable exploration of topics in a manner that engages readers and listeners, even for the most complex subjects. Example topics have included cutting edge interventions for trauma treatment, the integration of neurobiology into counselor education and supervision, working with survivors of human trafficking in private practice, teaching and supervision of human trafficking in counselor education programs, and more.
I believe that this multi-faceted nature of my professional work allows me to continuously provide cutting edge and well-honed services to all my clients, students, supervisees, and community members. Just as I pull from each aspect of my professional identity to deliver these services, in our work together, we will explore and embrace all aspects of you as you journey towards balance and wellness.
