Mental health support for college students! Active & Connected Family therapy has immediate openings with multiple therapists, and we welcome all.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and families of all shapes and sizes. I have special interest in complex trauma, identity, sexuality, effective communication, respectful parenting, sensory regulation, pregnancy and postpartum, and blended families. I work from the lens of wellness for the whole person, incorporating mindfulness, and physical, mental, and emotional well-being, through the context of relationship and community. I believe growth and healing come from power held in the individual I am working with, and I aim to empower each person to access this from within themselves. My goal is to provide safe space for clients to feel seen, heard, and empowered toward healing and resilience. I work with each individual based on their specific needs. This may look like utilizing mindfulness therapy to re-engage with your body, to find grounding or access stored trauma. I utilize a holistic, healing-centered counseling approach, focusing on promoting emotional and psychological healing through a person-centered, trauma-informed, somatic lens.
