I work with adults, teenagers, and children and specialize in supporting clients trying to manage the effects of trauma, Depression and Anxiety. I provide a safe, comforting place for clients to share their story, identify strengths, and develop healthy communication and coping skills to more effectively handle challenges. My typical client is looking for a mix of various techniques: active listening, empathy, honesty, practical tools to use on a day-to-day basis, and an improved understanding of the "why is this happening?", and humor to add to the therapeutic relationship.

I view the therapeutic process as a journey I travel with each of my clients. I aim to provide an open and nonjudgmental environment, which helps facilitate the development of insight into oneself and experiences with others. By providing a sense of acceptance and understanding, I aid each client in realizing their inner strength to enact the change desired in their lives.

Do you often feel disconnected from others? Do you pretend to be “fine” while you’re actually struggling on the inside? Do you have a hard time managing your symptoms? I understand your pain. I specialize in working with people with trauma and PTSD, including assault, physical and emotional abuse, bullying, neglect, abandonment, and narcissistic abuse. I also treat grief, burnout, and stress. I have many years of experience working with mental health providers and other healthcare professionals. I am a LGBTQIA-affirming provider, as well as a body positivity provider, and I offer neurodiversity-affirming care.

You're used working hard to achieve your goals, but no matter how hard you try, creating the family you want hasn't happened the way you planned. You might be navigating a challenging fertility journey or having difficulty meeting the right partner in time. Or you may be pregnant or postpartum, but it's been a long road to get here, and it doesn't feel the way you expected. Sometimes, you wonder if you're doing something wrong - it seems so easy for everyone else. The cycles of hope and disappointment can become overwhelming. You've pushed through some tough times in the past, but pushing through just isn't working this time.

How would your life be different if you could accept with confidence that your truest self is made of Joy, Peace, & Connection? What would literally change about your day to day? Working with me will be gentle, directive, and proactive (I am not just here to listen) My practice is informed by creativity and integration. This may include somatics, re-authoring, mindfulness, "parts work" or IFS, inner-child work, and exploring deep consciousness. My other specialties include ADD/ADHD coaching and Brainspotting for trauma and memory reintegration.

If you are in a season of searching, self-exploration, in need of brainstorming new solutions, you have already taken the bravest step! I am here to help you explore, heal, and work towards finding the meaning and support that you seek. Beginning or continuing your therapeutic growth and journey does not need to be an intimidating process, but one in which ultimate support, healing, and connection is found. It is my goal to provide a collaborative experience of working together to create growth and change in a safe and supportive environment to help you meet your goals, discover your inner strengths and lead a more fulfilling life

Initiating therapy is a courageous and vulnerable step. For many who have experienced trauma, addiction, and relational issues in their past, this is can be an intense experience. I will work closely with you to understand your individual circumstances and needs. Together, we will build a plan that honors your journey of healing. As a therapist, I will work to provide a safe space and act as a guide as you build insight and explore new ways of living. My goal is to promote healing from within, shift pervasive beliefs that no longer serve you, and help you explore and uncover attunement to your purpose and sense of self.

If you are a survivor of trauma, I am here to help you regain a sense of safety and wholeness. Together we can significantly reduce the negative effects that these events continue to have on your life. As a person-centered and trauma-informed therapist, I work to create a safe and judgement-free space where my client and I can walk along their healing journey together, gaining insight, learning coping skills, and building resiliency along the way.

You are so overwhelmed that you are "frozen" and can't stop procrastinating. Whenever you think you'll remember something, you don't. No one understands how hard it is for you to try and deal with your depression and your difficulties with organization. If people only knew all the traumatic stuff you've been through. It's definitely hard to explain to others what is going inside and it would be great if somewhere out there, there is someone who's lived it AND has professional knowledge on all this. I know what it's like to try and find someone that understands you, can guide you, and isn't judging. If this is you, I can help!

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Do you feel STUCK, OVERWHELMED, or that you are NOT LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE? Do you say to yourself “IF ONLY I COULD...” (fill in the blank: make more money, lose 10 pounds, get that promotion, etc.), then I would be able to live the life I’ve always imagined? Are you struggling in your relationships? Maybe you're looking for someone to talk to about your job, relationships, life goals, or negative thinking patterns. Therapy is not a "one size fits all" process, and I work with my clients to help them navigate life’s challenges. I applaud you for taking the first step and exploring therapy!
