​I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides therapeutic counseling for adults, children, youth and families with expertise in treating trauma, grief, and anxiety. Death of a loved one, miscarriage, bullying, divorce, constant moves, and chronic stress can create symptoms of trauma that become debilitating and create barriers to healthy, happy relationships. I work with a wholistic approach that incorporates body, mind, and heart to help people find peace amidst the chaos and pain that can sometimes arise in life.

What constitutes a traumatic event is a very personal experience. Often it isn’t until you are in therapy that you discover the full implications and impact on the quality of your life. The footprint of trauma can show itself as difficulty at work, unhealthy relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, or a lack of sleep. It can also be the total and complete interruption of your life. What you may think is anxiety or depression could be early trauma or developmental trauma. It can also be complex trauma created after multiple events and experiences. It is never what's wrong with you but what's happened to you!
