"Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze us; they’re supposed to help us discover who we are." --BJR Yet, we know life can be challenging and navigating life after experiencing trauma can be especially difficult. As a result, we leave ourselves vulnerable to issues negatively impacting our lives in many ways: physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. It is important to feel connected and understood! As a former school counselor with 20 years' experience working with adolescents, young adults and adults, I am devoted to helping clients resolve old, unhealthy patterns of thinking and behaving.

I provide a safe haven where individuals of all ages are not just acknowledged but embraced and assisted in their journey of self-discovery. One of the main modalities that I use in my practice is CBT, where we explore how your thoughts affect your emotions.
