I have training and experience with several modalities including CBT, EFT, ART, DBT, Person Centered Therapy, and Parts Work.
Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and loved ones leaving you in a cycle of pain? Or maybe it's difficult to be present, because you find your thoughts and perceptions rooted in your past. Clients I've worked with often show tremendous creativity in coping with overwhelming life experiences, but often these creative coping mechanisms play a role in their continued suffering. I've helped people like you understand & modify outdated methods of coping so that life can become fulfilling & meaningful instead of a painful struggle. You deserve support as you improve communication, set boundaries, and process past or current pain.

I'm trained in EFT, EMDR, and Prepare-Enrich for premarital counseling.
When we are our most stuck, lost, or alone, is when profound change can happen. This coming home to yourself might mean building anew, or it might mean re-aligning with your true self. If you’ve been feeling anxious or out of control, know that relief is possible. Today, you can find the courage to step closer to the life you know you want to live. I can help. I will start by asking you what you want and what you want to change. It's ok to need gentle guidance to uncover these answers. Through our conversations, I hope to empower you to soften your inner critic, feel more grounded + connected with yourself, and live with more peace.

Currently Accepting Individuals and Couples! Life can feel messy some days. Our most important relationships can suffer leaving us feeling alone, hurt, betrayed and just plain stuck! We were designed for connection and without it we struggle. We have a deep down desire to be seen, heard and known. When we can't find connection in our most important relationships we may rely on strategies that serve us for a season but are not sustainable for our healing and growth.
