Some of the populations I have worked with include: Young adults, first-responders, premarital/couples, post-partum partners, and first generation students.

Therapy is a powerful tool that can foster self awareness, insight and relief from anxiety and depression. Making the decision to seek guidance is the first step towards meeting your goals and limiting behavior that may be sabotaging your success. I feel it's important to create a rich understanding of past experiences and current choices so that patterns can be illuminated, identified and brought to Iight. I find that when one becomes aware of these patterns, they develop the power and confidence to move forward.

Do you experience anxiety, trouble sleeping, or have difficulty trusting that things will work out? Do you tend to distract yourself with food, exercise, work, alcohol, or other people? Do you struggle with being alone with your thoughts and feelings, have difficulty setting boundaries, and find yourself in co-dependent or toxic relationships? Or perhaps you keep people at an arm’s length, put on a mask and come across as happy and having it all together to others because you’re terrified of being vulnerable?

Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

This can’t be your life! You’ve been hanging by a thread. You can’t quiet your thoughts and the overwhelm consumes you. The tension that plagues your mind and body refuses to be ignored. Intuitively, you know something’s not right. You’re struggling to get things done – this is so unlike you. You're in a haze and unable to pinpoint when things became so unmanageable. Struggling to keep up is draining the life out of you. Now you’re the micro-manager, clinging to control and scared to let go. You’re an emotional baggage claim, harboring all the emotions you never processed. You resent feeling this way. Something has to change.
