I remember going to my first therapist, and thinking “I have to go back to places I’ve already survived?” You do not have to go backwards, though sometimes we have to feel to heal. With over 30 years of experience, I compassionately help guide you experientially, so you can access somatic and emotional wisdom.

Are you struggling with emotions that you don't know what to do with? Are you stuck in thought processes that are unhelpful, yet you are not sure how to change them? Do you want to learn how to regulate emotion, reduce stress, improve relationships, improve communication, reduce unwanted emotion, and feel comfortable in your own body? These are just a few of the things that I work with clients on, and I can work with you as well. I believe we are all humans doing the best that we can, and sometimes the best thing we can do is ask for help.

I truly believe we all have the resources within us to grow and heal. However, there are times we become "stuck" in life and overcome with fear or other factors. I am passionate in working with children and adults in helping them recognize deeper/underlying issues or past traumatic experiences that can impair a person's function each day in various ways. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma (Ie physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, DV, life adjustments, grief/loss). I am trained in EMDR, a research-based treatment that facilitates the brain's own capacity to heal.

Welcome! We all want to live life as our best selves, but that can be especially challenging during difficult times. I have over 25 years of experience helping children, teens, families, adults and couples build on their strengths and get clear about what they want for their futures. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I also utilize art therapy, Brainspotting (a brain based therapy that helps clients identify, process and release emotional and physical pain) and the Nurtured Heart Approach (a relationship based model that helps people focus on their successes rather than their failures, thereby increasing their Inner Wealth.)

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who you once were? Maybe you’re caught in toxic relationships or self-sabotaging patterns, wondering, “Why do I keep finding myself in the same painful situations?” or “I know this isn’t right, but I don’t know how to break free.” You might be facing the challenges of motherhood, struggling to hold onto your identity, or feeling like you’ve lost touch with your values and sense of purpose. These struggles can leave you feeling drained and uncertain, but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

I feel my purpose is to help people cope with the trauma of being human in these uncertain times. I want to support children and families, especially those with special needs, navigate all life phases, through play and creative expression. I also want to guide those who have lived through interpersonal trauma to place of feeling secure within themselves. I am innately in tune with the language of emotion. I have an inherent understanding of people’s communication patterns and a gentle, approachable, non-threatening presence that provides people with a safe haven to express themselves.

Why we would do that, it feels encapsulating to be struck in a BOX of epic proportions feeling there is no opening the door the best of you!
