Rocky shores Counseling

I’m passionate about helping adolescents, adults, and families find hope, healing, and resilience through compassionate, trauma-informed counseling.

Who I Help?

I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families navigating life’s challenges, including:

My story

Since beginning my career in 2009, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging seasons. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, supporting adolescents, adults, and families facing trauma, addiction, emotional distress, and significant life transitions. Those experiences have continually reinforced my belief that every person’s story deserves to be met with compassion, curiosity, and hope.

Much of my professional journey has focused on serving individuals who have experienced complex trauma, including survivors of exploitation and abuse, youth involved in the juvenile justice system, and those navigating substance use and recovery. These experiences have shaped my commitment to creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel emotionally safe, respected, and empowered to heal at their own pace.

I believe that meaningful change happens within the context of a trusting relationship. My role is not to tell you who you should be, but to walk alongside you as you gain insight, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. Whether you’re working through anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck, I strive to provide a space where you can be fully yourself without fear of judgment.

Today, through Rocky Shores Counseling & Consulting, I’m honored to support adolescents, adults, and families while continuing to educate professionals and organizations on trauma-informed care. It is a privilege to witness resilience every day, and I would be honored to be part of your journey toward healing and growth.

Credentials

My approach

I believe therapy should feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. Every client brings unique strengths, experiences, and goals, so I tailor treatment to meet each person’s needs. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, evidence-based practices, and genuine compassion.

Outside the office

Outside of work I enjoy traveling, playing card and board games, exploring new food spots, spending time with my friends and family, and creating educational resources for other professionals.

First step

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
