Montgomery Counseling Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCSWA, LCMHC, LCMHCA
I believe therapy works best when it is both grounded and genuinely human. My approach is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients understand what is happening beneath the surface rather than simply managing symptoms.
I work with people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship conflict, or emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who are used to pushing through but know something deeper needs attention.
My clinical work draws from evidence-based and experiential approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems-informed therapy, clinical hypnosis, and other trauma-focused methods. I am especially interested in how the nervous system, memory, emotion, and identity all interact in the healing process.
I aim to create a therapy space that is direct but compassionate, supportive but not passive. Together, we will work toward helping you make sense of your experience, reduce distress, and build a more flexible, connected way of living
