Have you wondered when life became stagnant? Does a past trauma keep invading your present day despite your best efforts? Have you experienced a loss that you still grieve? Stress over things that may or may not happen? Are you not engaging in the life you used to or thought you would? Hiding your pain and feeling sadness, anger, shame, or guilt for experiencing it? If this sounds like you and you feel ready to take back your life, then you may benefit from counseling services I could provide.

Hello, fellow introvert! Do you ever find yourself thinking, “no one likes me!” or “what’s wrong with me?" Does shyness keep you from confidently connecting with friends, romantic partners, and colleagues? Perhaps you know deep down that you'd be happier if you had more authentic relationships, but avoiding people (and therefore rejection) feels, well…safer. If so, you may be struggling with social anxiety. You probably feel like you never received the "How to Not Be an Awkward Human" manual. Well, good news - we've helped hundreds of shy individuals like you build confidence and develop deep, meaningful relationships.

My first clinical supervisor taught me that, "the healing is in the relationship", which I've found to be true and essential in my work to support your ability to overcome the difficulties that come with living. I focus on creating safety for you to show up as you are. We include your mind and body to identify and manage your intense emotions, navigate experiences that hinder your peace and sense of freedom, and explore new perspectives of yourself and your world.

I have had the privilege of walking through the healing process with adults, senior adults, the LGBTQ+ community, and women's issues. During my experience in a community mental health clinic, and in private practice I have utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma Focused - CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I will hold your vulnerability and pain with compassion and authenticity while the process of finding new or renewed hope, healing, strength, wholeness, and vitality for life begins to unfold.

I use an eclectic style that I have formed over many years of working with adults and children experiencing health traumas and family transitions through foster care, etc. I often start with crisis intervention and prioritize starting where the client is. I provide feedback and suggestions and motivational interviewing. I also have experience working with harm reduction models for substance abuse intervention. I often use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients with self-esteem, shame, and PTSD symptoms.
