My view on therapy is very simple, though not always easy: 'through relationships, we heal’. Many of the barriers that inhibit healthy relationships include negative self-talk, fear of judgement, and our need to maintain a sense of control, especially when we are deeply hurt or wounded. Trauma does not discriminate and it does not wait for an opportune time to present, but we can make sense of it and heal old wounds that hold us back from really connecting with those we love.

Are you seeking an unbiased person open to listening and discussing your thoughts? Sometimes we all need that! Life often brings us curve balls in the form of relational, career, racial, marital or family conflict that cause us to question who we are. These situations rattle our emotions to our core or change the normality that we call our life. During these times the ability to work through this with someone who specializes in transitional change maybe the answer!

I have experience working in many different settings including city social services, in education, an outpatient clinic and within a homeless shelter. I am trained to work with children, adolescents, parents, individuals, couples, and families on various issues that hinder growth and happiness. I specialize in the trauma therapy (EMDR), ABA for working with individuals on the spectrum, mindfulness and relaxation methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy. My counseling style is centered around helping you complete the goals you set for yourself in a supportive and warm environment, free of judgment.

My therapy practice focuses on individual reclamation and collective liberation in ways that honor what you've survived, the season you're in and the direction you want to move towards. I don't believe any one of us is inherently broken or irredeemable, and hope we all encounter ways to care more deeply for ourselves and others, practice reparative accountability and embody more fully our stories and identities. Areas I'm passionate about supporting include complex trauma/PTSD, insecure attachment, sexuality, gender identity, relationships, consent, boundaries, systemic harm and religious abuse.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck in situations that continue to occur over and over, or are you struggling with not really knowing who you are? Maybe there are some things about yourself that you would like to feel differently about, or learn better ways to manage areas in your personal life? Do you experience intense feelings at times and do not understand why? Coming to Therapy is one of the first steps you can take towards finding these answers and taking steps towards the positive changes you would like to experience. Together, we will work on reaching the Goals you set for yourself. "If you change nothing, nothing changes!"

Love, sex...and trauma. Are your reactions getting in the way of your relationships? After experiencing stress we can experience anxiety, spaciness, tension, temper flares, relational conflict, or intense shame or worthlessness. Trauma can be obvious - a sudden, horrible event, but for many, life has been overwhelming, disconnected or emotionally isolated for a very long time. I use creative and innovative experiential therapies to help you decrease the anxiety and anger living in your body, even for those who have been in talk therapy for a long time or those for whom talk therapy or CBT has only been minimally effective.

I’m here to accompany you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I view counseling as a vehicle where you are in the driver's seat, firmly in control of the steering wheel, brakes, and accelerator at all times. As your therapist, I step into the passenger seat, equipped with the tools and expertise to serve as your trusted GPS navigator. I'm here to help you navigate the twists and turns of your path, offering guidance, support, and perspective along the way and make sure your gas tank stays full. Just like a GPS, I provide insights into the route options available for reaching your desired destination for your life.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I seek to provide a comfortable and nonjudgmental environment to work through life’s challenges. I offer support to individuals, couples, and families by promoting vulnerability, healing and connection. I utilize evidence based approaches that are clinically shown to improve relationships. Through a comprehensive assessment, I seek to understand how personal experiences, family history, culture, spirituality, sexual orientation, gender identity & expression, race, life stage, and relationship patterns influence well being and current challenges.

Anxiety has caused you to experience exhaustion and isolation. You constantly have doubts and worries floating around in your thoughts. It feels like your mind won’t stop thinking about everything at once. You doubt yourself because every little decision feels monumentally consequential. Normal tasks that used to bring you joy no longer do, even your hobbies have fallen by the wayside. Friends try reaching out to you, but you end up withdrawing further away from them. You wish there were a way to go back to when you were happy and sure of yourself, but there seems to be this massive gap that just can't be bridged.

At Dynamic Counseling and Coaching Solutions we believe whole people connecting with one another enhances the well-being of the family and the community. Similarly, people living and working together as whole communities will make the world better for all of us. Additionally, we all need places where we can speak without fear of judgement or rejection. When these needs are met, barriers to growth and well being can be removed. Our goal is to provide an environment that fosters the kind of individual growth that comes from intentional change by promoting health, healing and restoration.

Together with my clients, we identify their strengths, implement coping skills, and increase awareness to overcome their present life challenges.
