Licensed Therapist

 Making the decision to begin therapy can be a difficult thing. So welcome! I'm so glad that you made the decision to work on your mental wellbeing and I hope that I am able to help. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and difficult life transitions. Whether you are navigating a recent loss, adjusting to a major change, struggling with longstanding patterns, or simply feeling like something needs to change, therapy can offer an opportunity to better understand yourself and develop new ways of coping and moving forward.


I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and incorporate EMDR and other evidence-based therapeutic approaches based on each client's individual needs and goals. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and I work collaboratively with each person to create a treatment experience that feels comfortable, meaningful, and tailored to them. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can slow down, gain clarity, process what you've been carrying, and reconnect with your strengths. You don't have to navigate difficult seasons of life alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater healing, self-understanding, and a life that feels more fulfilling.

I've dealt with many counselors over the years and it seems more challenging than ever getting anywhere. But my therapist here has literally brought some light into my darkness. Truly appreciate the time and efforts beyond words.

I truly go through my virtual appointments feeling the same that I would if I was in person and that is most helpful.

I was unsure what to expect because I've never heard of Ascend before but was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Great communicators! Trauma informed and the accessibility and ease of the user interface was the cherry on top for me.

Maria R.

I did not know how to explain my problem and the Ascend team called and asked the right questions so I would not feel shame asking for help.
