I aim to make clients feel listened to and understood, and to equip them with relevant knowledge and skills to understand and accept themselves, as well as to take any needed actions to feel better and accomplish their goals. I love figuring out the 'why' behind a client's struggles, what would work better for them, and seeing people make progress.

I specialize in providing care to veterans, families, couples, and individuals facing overwhelming life struggles in need of guidance. My clients are typically committed to learning, processing, and mastering skill sets that will generate personal growth, better relationships, and, most importantly, improved quality of life. I have helped people navigate complicated marital problems, and parent-child relationships. I provide therapeutic support to single parents, grandparents, and multigenerational caregivers. I also work with people in recovery from addiction, religion-based abuse, toxic workplaces, and manipulation.

To anyone else, things might look just fine. You put in a lot of work to keep things fine! But when you slow down, that put-together veneer leaves you all the more isolated as you cope with the self-criticism, frustration, pain, and general turmoil inside. Where is all this coming from? Holding it together takes so much effort. Is it like this for everyone? Is it just another stressful week? You might have spent a long time thinking or being told that you are somehow the problem, but inside, you know that this constant struggle, this inner conflict, isn’t really you.

When we experience traumatic, intense or habitual stressors, we tend to wear down over time. Realizing something needs to change, we reach out for help. It has become my life's passion to provide help and relief in the lives of those individuals ready for change. I collaborate with my client to find his or her own answers. I believe, that we already know what the answers are to our unique challenges. Sometimes we simply need someone to help guide us through the process of discovering those answers.

Why do we sometimes dwell on the worst times of our lives or spend our time and energy reliving things we wish we could change? Events, decisions, relationships, feelings etc can all end up 'stuck' and continue to negatively impact us in a variety of ways. The umbrella term 'traumatic stress' encompasses both PTSD and it's symptoms when full criteria is not met. When experiences from the past continue to impact your present, whether it be flashbacks or the way you view your place in the world, it can be very difficult to change.
