Many of the clients I've had the privilege of working with have exposed me to an incredible and innate resilience; confirming my belief that with the right support there is always hope for positive change.  This is the foundational belief of Resilience Counseling LLC.

Life events can be unexpected, overwhelming, and traumatic. You deserve space to process what brings you to therapy with a professional who can validate your experiences and commit to working with you, at your pace, to develop solutions. I work from a culturally-aware, trauma-informed perspective to ensure that you feel seen and heard, and offer Art Therapy. Non-judgmental by nature, I collaborate with clients by building on strengths to overcome challenges.

With therapy, trauma can be integrated into the past where it occurred, and I can help you learn how to feel safe and grounded in the present. Using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), I can help with shifting beliefs about yourself, those around you, and the world rooted in trauma that perhaps protected you in the past, but are limiting or harming you now. I can also assist with learning self-advocacy in the medical world, brainstorm accommodations, and develop coping for when chronic pain or disability triggers feelings of hopelessness, depression, or anxiety.

As a Queer and sex positive (kink & poly affirming) therapist with 10 years of experience, I also offer a genuine understanding of LGBTQIA+ concerns. I value working with diverse clientele and welcome people to therapy who struggle with a range of issues. My ultimate goal is to help you become the best version of yourself, as you envision it. For as long as you're willing to put in the work, I'm willing to walk the path with you, wherever it takes us.
