At times it feels like life is tossing you around. Whether it's something that happened in your past, current circumstances that feel impossible to overcome, or fears of the future, I believe it's possible to heal and to grow with resilience. Imagine what it would be like to feel happy again, to recognize the person looking back at you in the mirror, and to feel like you are in control of your life. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be heard and validated, challenged and empowered - a space to show up exactly as you are.

You haven’t been able to show up for your daily responsibilities, let alone for yourself. You know you could do more, be more, but there just isn't enough time in the day or gas left in the tank to go the extra mile. You're always there for others, but not for you. Depression and anxiety have caused you to feel like you don’t have enough to give. Medication doesn't seem to help, at least not enough to actually feel well. You are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. The responsibilities of life are weighing you down. You want to feel energized and joyful to face the day, but you would rather stay in bed. You need a change.

People come into counseling for many reasons. You may be overcome with insecurity, paralyzed with anxiety, or chronically depressed. Perhaps your relationships are a mess, your life feels out of control. You cut yourself to feel something other than emptiness, you drink to numb your pain. Life doesn't have to be this hard. There is hope and you can heal. You already have everything inside of you that you need in order to heal but somehow you have lost track of this truth. Life has led you away from your innate ability to heal. Counseling can help you reconnect with this ability and restore balance and peace to your life.

Our main modality is Cognitive behavioral, play and art therapy for children trauma focused treatment, individual and family counseling.
Embracing imperfection accepting the flaws and loving yourself is the essence of our growth as human beings as we strive to live the life we are meant to live. Mindfulness is the human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Mindfulness is a quality that every human possesses and is able to access. However with life sometimes accessing mindfulness is a challenge and the skill is embracing imperfection in order to access those moments of where we are present.

Society’s rigid rules produce trauma not only when we experience disaster, but also when denied the opportunity to develop our identities. Whether LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, racial minority, or living with trauma or disease, we stumble through the world, learning to anticipate constant challenge and new ways to be hurt. When others speak of fond memories, we recall the effort we put into masking through it. When memories are too painful, we try to forget them – but they stay with us, hiding below our conscious mind where they wreak havoc on our bodies, creating chronic pain, addiction, mental illness and disease.

Welcome! I believe that change and healing occur by having your experiences - whatever they are and however they feel - held in a compassionate, non-judgmental space. Compassion at its root means "to suffer with," and I believe in walking alongside you in your healing journey and honoring the space you are in at this moment. The therapeutic relationship is meant to hold said space for you to focus purely on yourself and your growth. I specialize in helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as burnout/compassion fatigue among mental health professionals. I am also an LGBTQIA+ affirmative clinician.
