I am a counselor with 15 years of experience. I work with adults and adolescents (ages 13+). My clients are generally struggling with difficult life experiences such as abuse and trauma and are seeking new ways to cope with the challenges of their past and present lives. I assist them in getting to the root of their problems that have resulted in substance use, grief, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem so they can begin to heal from their past. My clients play an active role in their own recovery and their collaboration is vital to creating their plan to wellness.

I SEE you. I see you hustling to get more done—to be the perfect parent/spouse/employee/leader. I see that under your polished exterior, you are exhausted, stressed out, and ready for a change. I see you feel unappreciated, but left frustrated and guilty that you feel this way. I HEAR you. I hear your inner thoughts, “I’m working myself ragged, and I’m still not enough.” “If I could just (blank) then I will be happy.” “Why does it come easier for (blank)?" But I also hear the quiet whisper that says, “despite it all, I’m still trying.” I specialize in working with Betrayal Trauma, Sex Addiction, A.R.T. for Trauma, and Groups.

The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves hold enormous power. You may be feeling stuck, disconnected or hopeless due to stressful life changes, family conflict, unhealthy coping patterns or things that have happened in your past. Learning to find the power of your inner voice and take control of your life story can create new ways of viewing yourself and the world. This can restore peace within your mind, body and relationships with others.

I will support and empower you on this journey. You have what it takes to become the best version of yourself.

I view therapy as a space for you, the client to be unequivocally yourself while recognizing that there are so many internal and interpersonal factors alongside systems in place that may contribute to the pain, anxiety, and discomfort one feels. You are the most important person in your own life, and once you start to care for yourself in healing ways, this can be extended to others who you care for and love. I believe that it is important to walk patiently with every individual and I also believe that it is important to discuss how cultural beliefs and societal roles may influence one’s perception and experiences.
