Advancement
At Ascent Counseling, I am passionate about empowering people with the tools they need to succeed. I believe that strength and capability already exist within each person—I’m here to help you discover and harness them.
With 20 years of experience as a licensed mental health therapist, I specialize in working with teens and adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma.
I’m passionate about guiding individuals on their journey to healing and personal growth. Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I specialize in helping clients release past traumas, lighten their emotional burdens, and create space for a more fulfilling present. I believe in the power of connection, and I strive to create a supportive, empathetic environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll work on building a life that reflects your best self, free from the weight of the past and focused on living fully in the now.
In addition, I am excited to incorporate experiential and movement-based therapies, using physical activity and engaging experiences in the outdoors to foster self-awareness, confidence, and personal growth. As I continue my journey toward Adventure Therapy certification, I strive to make healing both effective and fun.
No matter where you are in life or what obstacles you face, I am here to support and guide you on your path.
Let’s take the next step together.
