I see us struggling with a pandemic of loneliness. Especially after COVID isolation, teens and younger adults, especially are at risk of experiencing a debilitating lack of connection, momentum, and purpose. Loneliness has the power to drag down every facet of our lives. The insecurity and depression that creep up in the dark depths of loneliness keep us down and away from the connection that we need. Therapy can be the life rope that begins us on our journey toward the light. I work well with clients who are skeptical about therapy for any number of reasons. I am confident you can thrive.

I am a trauma-informed therapist that strives to create a collaborative relationship to build safety and trust so that you can move towards healing and growth. I help clients by identifying how their past is still affecting them in the present, process difficult and painful memories, and use cognitive approaches to challenge feelings of shame and fixed negative beliefs. In addition, I explore with clients the impact trauma and family dynmaics has on their relationships and teach skills to help them meet their emotional needs with friends, family, and partners.

We will not try to make you do what somebody else wants you to do. We start with your goals & find ways to help you develop the necessary skills. We have found that, if a person's individual wishes are not represented in the solution, it will not work in the long run. So there is a strong emphasis on helping each person take responsibility and control over their own happiness. Some things are better handled individually, and some things are better handled with both people in the room. Our unique blend of individual & couples therapy is quite effective.

I often work with individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, and childhood trauma. I believe that change that occurs in therapy comes from forming a safe therapeutic relationship, while increasing your awareness of self, challenging your old beliefs, and establishing appropriate boundaries in relationships with others. I tend to be an active participant in therapy. I ask questions, offer observations, and look for patterns that may help provide a deeper understanding. However, I believe the client is the expert on themselves, and I trust in each individuals unique healing process.

You believe if you do it right you won’t disappoint the people in your world. The trouble is, striving to do everything right often means diminishing yourself and pushing down your true thoughts, feelings, and desires. You’ve become an expert at everyone else’s needs and wants, but you’ve lost yourself along the way. Let’s work together to help you reconnect with yourself and others. Anxiety, people pleasing, and perfectionism are painful. Set down the weight you carry and discover more ease in your everyday life and the deep connected relationships you long for.

Issues such as anxiety, depression, grief/ loss, abuse, trauma, domestic violence, anger, relationship and identity crisis leave one feeling depressed and alone. Working closely with individuals, couples, and families, together we will face life's struggles. My experience as a family therapist has provided me with extensive opportunity to work with families and children in the foster care system, or those families at risk of children being removed from the home. Additionally, working as a mental health professional in hospital emergency rooms has provided hands on crisis intervention with individuals facing extreme emotional situations.
