I enjoy working with people who want to grow, and who realize they need to change old ways and patterns that no longer serve them, but instead bring pain. In my practice, I've worked with people in all kinds of pain, and with all kinds of problems. I've helped people struggling with relationship problems, family issues, anxiety, depression, substance use and trauma. Over the 17 years that I've been counseling, I've learned that everyone needs to tell their story, to be heard, and understood. I've learned compassion, kindness, and non-judgement are all important in the healing process.

I have been working with clients who have had trauma throughout their life. Their symptoms are anxiety, depression, panic attacks, negative self-talk, rumination, and unhealthy relations. We work on establishing where these thoughts, ideas, and behaviors stem from and how to make healthy changes in every area of their lives. I focus on their chosen words and the negative self-talk perpetuating these symptoms.

Do you find yourself making the same mistakes over and over in relationships? Do people say you have a "bad picker" when it comes to friends and partners? Sounds like a good place to start in therapy to explore some patterns and where they come from. I specialize in working with people of all genders who are survivors of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, including religious trauma. In therapy, I work with people on setting boundaries by learning how to listen to their own needs and trust themselves. I am not credentialed with state insurance plans (Medicaid/Medical Assistance/AHCCCS) or EAPs.
