You have managed or contained life's challenges until it doesn't work anymore. The experiences of the past do not have to interfere with your joy in the present or future. My goal is to create a safe place for you to explore, learn, and create a new way of being in relationships and the world. I specialize in working with individuals and families that have been impacted by traumatic experiences, complex grief, attachment and relationship ruptures. Loss often involves trauma and trauma always involves grief. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

Individuals see me when their minds, heart, and body don't align. You know you're amazing, yet, beat yourself up or feel a sinking sensation when you show up for yourself. Maybe you experience difficulty in relationships or with life dreams and desires. Maybe you'd like to feel more confident or connected, trust yourself, or explore what drives certain behaviors. Your internal voice knows something isn't right, but you can't put your finger on it, or there are too many loose ends tangled together, and you could use some help sorting out what is yours and what isn't.

Hello, and thanks for visiting! I take an integrative, holistic approach to therapy and consider all aspects of your health - mind, body, and spirit - in our work together. We don't need fixing; we need healing. I believe symptoms are messengers trying to take us inside to the places that need attention and compassion. I'll help you identify realistic therapy goals and gently encourage and assist you as you make the (often difficult) changes necessary to achieve them through psychoeducation, holistic interventions, and most importantly, a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.

"The Wound is the Place Where the Light Enters You." ~ Rumi~ In one way or another, our souls have been bruised. Depression, anxiety, divorce/relationship issues, trauma, family crisis, & many other issues can slowly chip away at our self-worth, our sense of belonging, our hope.

I can, however, walk with you & give you the tools to find inner peace & love in the midst of chaos.

My goal & passion is to value all walks of life & experiences! I know it can be difficult to seek help, the idea of counseling can freak some people out. However, if you're looking here, you're halfway there. The impact of trauma, stigma toward mental health, addictions, the LGBTQ+ community, infidelity can reinforce dysfunctional coping, self-loathing and sometimes self-harm. It can keep people stuck. I understand this on a personal and professional level. Therapy's not easy and not the most ideal at times, but can help if you team up with someone who will earn your trust. I want to help those who want and need support

Hi Everybody! Thanks for taking time to read my profile. I help Disconnected Couples, Restless Entrepreneurs, and Anxious Adults. When I entered this profession, I realized that everyone on the planet needs a safe place to go where they can be completely themselves...and say anything they care to say. At times we need to chat with someone who's not part of our family or friend circles, someone with the training and skills to navigate a complex stack of thoughts, emotions, relationships, careers, and matters of faith.

While we all come into this world open and innocent, we get hurt along the way, and we pick up patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck in painful cycles. With a holistic and somatic approach, I can be your companion and guide in helping you to unravel these cycles and (re)discover your innate wholeness.
