I founded Start Today Counseling Interventions with the core belief that: everyone has an innate capacity to heal. Often, we just need the right support, safe relationships, and space to reconnect with our inner wisdom to begin that process. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), EMDR-trained therapist, and owner of Start Today Counseling Interventions, I specialize in supporting adults (18+) navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, chronic stress, burnout, and major life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic. I combine psychodynamic insight with trauma-informed and person-centered therapies to help you get to the root of emotional pain, build resilience, and develop sustainable tools for healing and growth. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes-it’s a collaborative journey of honest exploration, self-awareness, and taking charge of your change. I’m here to help you explore what lies beneath the surface and move beyond survival toward empowered, authentic living.

I support adults (18+) from all walks of life in gaining clarity, building confidence, and moving forward with purpose. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, major life transitions, or navigating unique challenges related to LGBTQ+ identity or cultural experiences, I provide affirming, culturally sensitive care tailored to your story. Together, we’ll break through the barriers that hold you back, strengthen your resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change that fits your life. My approach blends person-centered therapy with evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies, so you get practical tools that work. We’ll collaborate to understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and develop realistic, actionable steps to help you manage them effectively. My mission is to help you reconnect with your values and inner strengths so you can live more authentically and confidently, feeling empowered in your everyday life.

You deserve support that helps you feel grounded, confident, and deeply connected to your authentic self. I’m here to guide you toward clarity, emotional balance, and practical tools that empower you to build resilience and truly thrive in your life. I work with adults (18+) who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, major life transitions, relationship challenges, or anyone ready to explore deeper self-awareness and personal growth. Using a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and person-centered approach, I provide a safe, welcoming space where you can openly explore your emotions, identify and break free from limiting patterns, and develop personalized strategies for meaningful change. Our work together is designed to help you move forward with intention, confidence, and a stronger connection to self. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for a fresh start, I’m here to support you- at your pace and on your terms.
