Starting to explore our own behaviors can be scary. Creating a safe space and trusting relationship where people can deeply explore what is blocking them from enjoying their lives to the fullest is the utmost importance for healing. Every person's path is different and no one heals exactly the same. I work primarily (not limited to) clients who are seeking to work on issues related to trauma, depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. I have experience working with first responders, active duty/ veterans, medical professionals, pilots, and attorneys. I traditionally utilize mindfulness-based approaches, experiential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, 12 Step facilitation, reality therapy, ACT, Dialectical behavioral therapy, and can use creative expression to assist clients in finding their path to recovery. I am a space holder for Y12SR, the integration of 12 steps into the yoga practice. I am trained in Brainspotting Level 1, am a Resident in Counseling in Virginia, Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (since 2020). I have spent last year (2023) completing a Minority Addiction Fellowship which assisted in my goal of prioritizing underserved and historically marginalized people through the National Board of Certified Counseling.
