Cocoon Counseling

Clients have told me the difference they notice about my approach: I make them feel safe and accepted without judgment. I strive to create a space where curiosity, kindness, and self-compassion can replace judgment and shame. My goal is for you to see yourself through a gentler lens—and to carry that with you into every part of your life. I came to counseling after a career in retail management, burnt-out, but still driven by a passion and belief - a passion for helping others and a belief that people need to feel understood on a deep emotional level in order to heal. It would be my honor to help you blossom into a version of yourself that feels balanced, resilient, and authentically you. If life's stressors are stirring up intense or confusing emotions, it can feel overwhelming. My passion and specialty are helping adults understand those emotions and find calm. Whether you’re living with a personality disorder, PTSD, depression, anxiety, or simply feeling stuck, I offer evidence-based treatments like EMDR, CBT, and DBT. I take a motivational and strengths-based approach to treatment. In our first sessions, you can expect to feel truly seen and safe. Together we’ll stabilize your most distressing symptoms first, giving you breathing room to explore deeper patterns. I’ll empower you with psychoeducation, give you tools to re-regulate your body, teach you how to tolerate distress, and give you practical skills to improve your relationships with others.
