Hi there- I work with highly motivated individuals who have endured childhood/recent trauma or who are struggling with recurring emotional pain who want freedom, and healing, and have the desire to feel less sensitive to the thoughts, emotional pain, or images. If you are looking for a therapist who creates a safe therapeutic environment and focuses on overcoming challenges and skill-building to find healing, we may be a good fit. You may have tried a variety of things before and it can be frustrating. I want you to see some real change and feel better. You can contact me today for a free consultation.

In over ten years of practice, I've noticed many people seek therapy for a few main reasons: A breakdown of trust and communication in intimate relationships; One's past experiences are negatively affecting present reality; Loneliness and disconnection; and a need for a sense of purpose. Of course, there are others, but the reasons I mention show up often. I attribute much of the distress I see in others to self-worth issues. Generally, worthiness is neither modeled nor nurtured in our culture.

What does thriving mean to you? Each of us are on a journey toward thriving. Sometimes we get interrupted along the way by anxiety, fear, rejection, anger, sadness, and resentment. When we feel uncertain or stuck we might experience disconnection, lack of purpose, and loss of meaning. In such times, therapy offers a safe place to be heard, a trusted person to unpack our stories with, and a method for traveling through the layers of life’s ups and downs. I believe strongly that this present moment is an avenue for creating growth and change, that’s why I deeply value the transformative potential of therapy.

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.

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.
