Immediate Availability! Do you want to get at the root of your stress, triggers, anxiety, or depression? Do you want to learn how to be kind to yourself? Do you want to be able to notice and cope with your emotions? I will help you investigate why that behavior is being triggered in you. I'll help you process the root of that behavior. You'll learn to notice your stress, anxiety, or depression in the moment and to be kind with yourself rather than judgmental. My previous clients have gotten rid of social anxiety, have improved their relationships, have developed new ways to cope, and are living more empowered lives!

*ONLY ACCEPTING FIRST RESPONDERS AT THIS TIME* Are you dealing with depression, anxiety, and/or unresolved trauma? Are your coping skills no longer working or do you find them doing more harm than good? When one is so overwhelmed by their problems it can be very difficult to find the solution to the problem. We as humans will look at the same old situation with old ideas and old perspectives. It can be helpful to get a FRESH, NEUTRAL perspective to that old situation. Together, we can break the dysfunctional cycles of self-doubt, negative self-talk, low self-esteem among other areas of difficulties.

Do you feel a gnawing emptiness inside? Do you ask yourself, “will I ever be good enough”? Do you get the sense that you are inherently “defective” or "bad"? What if people really got to know you? Would they reject you? Do you feel like your brain bullies you? Is intimacy both your greatest fear and greatest longing? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there isn’t anything wrong with you. You are not helpless and there is hope. There are two types of trauma: shock trauma and relational trauma. You have most likely encountered childhood relational trauma. I'm here to explain more and walk you through this.

Hi there! :) I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is vital to the growth and healing process. I began this journey because of my love for people and a desire to provide others with compassionate, authentic connection to heal and grow into the version of themselves that has a full toolbox of skills, self-understanding to start to heal past trauma, and tackle current and future stress life can bring. I believe that everyone is inherently worthy and capable of good and healing, and I build a therapeutic foundation of trust on this belief.
