I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and owner of Be Counseling. I provide professional counseling services to individuals and couples. I specialize in trauma and am currently working towards becoming a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) as well as a Certified Addictions-Informed Mental Health Professional (CAIMHP). I value understanding how we learn to love and how we integrate ourselves into various relationships by exploring childhood unmet needs, lack of praise, emotional neglect, and high achievement expectations. As a therapist I work towards developing a deep relationship with my clients where I am seen less as the expert and more as a companion who can walk beside you, challenge you, and encourage you. Outside of the therapy space you can find me drinking my body weight in Diet Coke, chatting non-stop about reality TV or my current book, and enjoying snuggles with my Basset Hound, Franklin, and my German Shepherd mix, Remi.
