“Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you"
—Dr. Gabor Maté

This quote speaks to the heart of why I believe safety is essential in healing work. When someone has experienced trauma, it’s not just the event itself that causes pain—it’s also carrying the pain alone without support. That’s why I believe creating a safe, attuned, and collaborative space is so important. A space where people feel seen, heard, and not alone.

I utilize trauma-informed intervention: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), along with elements from other therapeutic approaches, to support the processing of traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, and foster long-term change.

For the past couple of years, I’ve been working in the administrative area of Living Hope, and now as an LPC, I also have the joy of working one on one with clients during our counseling sessions. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with my master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have also been certified as a facilitator of the Prepare/Enrich Assessment for premarital and married couples and have been trained in EMDR.

In my free time, I enjoy watching a good series or movie, learning new songs on the piano, going on walks, taking pictures of nature, and hanging out with family and friends.
