Loss of jobs, relationships, chemical addiction, life transitions, trauma, abuse and the stress of day to day living come with an array of thoughts and emotions, which at some points in our lives can become overwhelming. We start to feel like nothing can get better, and began to self destruct or stay stuck, out of fear of the unknown or poor habits. My goal is to best assist and support people in living authentic, balanced lives; navigating increased self-awareness in social systems, past experiences, core beliefs and thoughts and their influence on our daily emotional states, behaviors and actions.

Are you struggling with stress? Life’s daily hassles? Confidence/Self-Esteem? Mood instability? Anxiety? At the end of the day struggles and challenges are a part of life, but it is HOW we manage when struggles and challenges arise that make the difference. In addition to a few other “secret weapons,” I have garnered much experience supporting and helping adults and teens challenged with symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction, stress, and other psychiatric illnesses to manage their symptoms by utilizing tools, coping skills, and practicing behavioral interventions.

Have you ever felt stuck in certain areas of your life and can tell it needs attention or relief? Sometimes, that mere curiosity is all we need to take steps toward a life filled with contentment, satisfaction, and emotional tolerance. I specialize working with adults who have experienced trauma in the past that is causing issues in relationships, work, performance, or overall important areas of life. Past trauma has a way of taking up space in our mind or body, and if left unresolved, will show up as anxiety, depression, withdrawal, and dissatisfaction. I am EMDR trained and use this as my main therapeutic modality.

My approach to counseling builds on existing strengths and situates you, the client, as the expert on your own life. I believe that relationships with self, others, and our broader communities are foundational to wellbeing, and encourage exploration of these areas through a trauma-informed, culturally attuned lens. I take a compassionate approach to existing dynamics and coping methods and work alongside you to bring patterns and the emotions that underlie them into conscious awareness. I am affirming of all people, including multicultural, neuroexpansive, LGBTQ+, and polyamorous people and relationships.

Hello and welcome to your first step on your journey to healing and personal growth! As we move through life our unique experiences shape us into who we are. At times these experiences can leave wounds and unresolved issues that prevent growth. I work to help clients understand that this does not define who they are but is a piece of their individual life story. The healing process can be a lonely and intimidating journey, but together we can create meaningful opportunities for exploration and a future filled with hope.
