My Background

I’m the founder of Endeavor Counseling and Consultation. Before opening my practice, I’ve worked in community mental health, home-based therapy, and group private practices. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Washington University. Specialized post-degree formal training has included Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training and supervision through the EMDRIA approved Institute for Creative Mindfulness, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). In addition to my clinical work, I have served as an adjunct instructor for the Psychology Department at Columbus State Community College.

My Approach to Helping

A compassionate therapeutic relationship is the foundation of my practice. This space is client-centered, collaborative, and supports non-judgmental challenging and curiosity. I value empowering clients so they feel confident in their own abilities moving forward. Addressing underlying reasons that fuel presenting concerns is a focus in my work. My approach blends evidenced based interventions to help clients gain insight, develop skills, and address blocks - making room for change to ultimately find relief. I utilize cognitive-behavioral based therapies, mindfulness-based therapies, and EMDR. My framework is trauma-informed, non-pathologizing, and incorporates attachment theory and parts-work.
