Often my clients have been in traditional talk therapy but something still felt missing or unaddressed. They come to me looking to deepen their mental and emotional well being with something more. Most of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people pleasing, and/or boundary setting. Nearly all of my clients have experienced something in their lives that's left them changed in some way such as unhealthy romantic relationships, chronic illness, or a traumatic childhood.

I believe in all people’s innate capacity to heal. To me, all symptoms that we experience whether it be chronic pain, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, etc can be explained by trauma. Trauma does not have to be big events. Trauma can be if we are not attuned to emotionally as children or if our parents have their own unprocessed trauma—this sort of trauma often leads to deep seeded beliefs that we are unloveable and bad. Our healing comes from teaching our parts that we are loveable and accepted just as we are.

Therapy is about compassion, vulnerability, and connection; it can also be about pushing yourself toward growth, creating change, and evolving into who you want to be. I would love to work with you to identify areas of potential and develop a path to success. I use a direct approach to build a real relationship with you. I don't shy away from difficult topics. Making a big leap can be daunting but finding fulfillment is worth the jump. I focus on individuals facing big life changes. As a Tricare provider and the child of a retired service member, I understand the unique stressors faced by the military community and their families.
