Experiencing trauma can often create a response similar to a pebble thrown into a still pond. The incident may seem small at first, but the ripples swell out and disrupt your sense of control and balance. If you have experienced Anxiety/Depression, Sexual Assault, PTSD or other negative experiences, you most likely are familiar with the rippling effects of distressed feelings, amplifying intrusive thoughts as well as emotions of anger, pain, sadness, despair and more. Distressing and unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, and even physical ailments can interrupt your relationships, education, career, finances or more.

You feel lonely, like nobody really knows you. You go through the motions, just getting through the day. You're putting on an act, worried what your loved ones would think if they knew the real you. You try to be perfect and hide how flawed you really are. You try to remember when this feeling started but it seems to go too far back. You notice yourself feeling on edge when you are with others, yet just as unsettled when you are alone. You want desperately to be able to open up but the walls built around you have become an isolated room. You wonder what it would be like to break free and be the real you. The only way out is through.

Via psychotherapy and assessment, I support individuals, couples, families, and organizations through the changing seasons of life. Intersectional identity shifts, intergenerational trauma, faith transitions, pregnancy/postpartum, sexual trauma, systemic oppression, multicultural couples (polyamory affirming), and families navigating members "coming out" or "letting in" with diverse political or spiritual views are a few specialty areas. Particular attunement is provided to BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodiverse/autistic communities. My goal is to help communities live in alignment with their values.

For too long now, you have put everyone first and constantly worry that you are not “enough” despite all you have accomplished. You sleep too little or too much as you rethink the conversation you had, or wish you had. You are filled with self-doubt. All of these feelings and negative self-talk have you lacking energy and makes you want to stay in bed rather than facing another overwhelming and exhausting day.

You have an intuitive, spiritual, or metaphysical perspective. You're pursuing an inspired life, yet there's too much tension inside. Anxiety, heaviness, or history of trauma can weigh on your heart, and make it feel impossible to manifest your dreams. Perhaps your empathy or sensitivity creates its own challenges. With an experienced counselor drawing from a variety of approaches, you can grow in clarity and empowerment. With time, you'll be surprised at the peace and joy you develop about your path.

Taking the first step in counseling can be the most difficult one. I am committed to meeting each individual, couple, or family as unique and with their own journey in the present, from the past, and for the future. I offer a Christian focus to counseling for those who desire this. I am committed to providing a safe environment where clients can experience the freedom to explore their own beliefs and make their own choices regarding life and relationships. Every client, couple, or family brings their own perspective(s), and I look forward to getting to know each individual or system.
