Integrative Mental Health & Wellness

I believe everyone has an innate capacity to heal. With the right support, a safe space, and a compassionate guide, you can reconnect with the wisdom you already carry inside. I’m a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), EMDR-trained therapist, and founder of Start Today Counseling Interventions. I specialize in helping adults (18+) navigate life’s toughest challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, and major life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic. By blending psychodynamic insight with person-centered and trauma-focused therapy, I help you uncover what’s holding you back, build resilience, and create practical strategies that make sense for your life. Therapy with me is a collaborative journey, where you’ll gain self-awareness, confidence, and emotional balance. Together, we’ll work toward healing, resilience, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose.

I work with adults (18+) who want to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, chronic stress, identity exploration, major life transitions, or LGBTQ+ and cultural centered concerns, I offer affirming, culturally responsive therapy that meets you where you are. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical coping skills that support long-term emotional well-being and resilience. In our work together, we focus on what matters most to you- your values, strengths, and goals. You’ll reconnect with your inner resilience, build confidence, and develop tools to navigate life with greater clarity, balance, and self-trust. Together, we’ll create a supportive space to reflect, grow, and heal as you move toward a life that feels more aligned, empowered, and authentic.

I help adults (18+) move from feeling stuck to living with clarity, confidence, and purpose. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, therapy with me provides a supportive space to reset, recalibrate, and reconnect with your healthiest self. Using trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and person-centered approaches, I create a safe environment where you can explore your emotions without judgment, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical strategies that make a real difference in your daily life. My focus is on meeting you exactly where you are and supporting your growth in mental, emotional, and relational well-being, at your own pace. Together, we’ll build a path forward that feels realistic, empowering, and aligned with your values. Whether you’re seeking a fresh start or simply want to feel more grounded and supported, I’m here to help you move from just surviving to truly thriving.

I believe our most important relationships- with our partners, our families, and ourselves, are the foundation of a meaningful life. Even strong connections can feel strained when communication breaks down or past experiences resurface. I specialize in individual (18+), couples, and family therapy, helping clients move from reactive patterns toward clarity, emotional safety, and deeper connection. My approach blends insight with practical tools, addressing both internal emotional experiences and real-world relationship dynamics. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore the parts of you, and your relationships, that shape emotions, behaviors, and patterns of interaction. Together, we approach these parts with curiosity and compassion, heal underlying wounds, and navigate conflict in ways that foster growth and connection. I also provide present-focused strategies to shift unhelpful thought patterns, improve communication, regulate emotions, and strengthen problem-solving skills. Whether you’re rebuilding trust, navigating life or family transitions, or seeking personal growth, I offer a collaborative, supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and valued.
