A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. - Lao Tzu

Life can feel overwhelming, and wanting something to change is often its own kind of courage. Whether you're managing anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or a desire for personal growth, you don't have to do it alone. Here at Trailhead Counseling, that first step might be a short phone call, a message, or your first session. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space and practical tools to help you take each next step with greater clarity and confidence.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey toward greater self-awareness, healing, and a life that truly aligns with your values. Just as every trail has its own terrain, every person's path is unique. I work holistically with individuals from teens through older adults, as well as couples, blending evidence-based practices with creative and mindfulness-based approaches. My style is rooted in attachment theory, self-compassion, and deep respect for wherever you are on your journey right now.

My training includes diverse approaches to meet you where you are. As an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist, I help people process trauma and find relief from distressing memories that may feel like obstacles along your path. I have advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which I often combine with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support those navigating OCD and anxiety. As a gender specialist with advanced WPATH training, I proudly provide affirming care for those exploring gender identity and navigating transition. I also work with couples to strengthen communication and deepen connection, helping partners find their way back to each other.

My practice weaves in mindfulness to help you stay present on the trail ahead, and I incorporate creative interventions like art and horticultural therapies when they feel like a natural fit for your healing. I also offer psychedelic integration psychotherapy for those seeking support in processing and integrating transformative experiences. Whether you're navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, relationship challenges, gender exploration, or life transitions, I'm here to walk alongside you—honoring your strengths while exploring new perspectives and possibilities.

If you're ready to explore options and find a path that fits your life, please reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. Let's take that first step together.
