In childhood, our outside shapes the inside, and in adulthood the inside shapes the outside. -Chip Judd. Are you experiencing a disruption in your parent-child relationship by ongoing big feelings, conflict, miscommunication, and disconnection? Are you seeking to understand your child and bring harmony to your family dynamics? Are your childhood wounds seeping through current relationships? Relationships are complex and messy. Learning to master the skill of repair, reconnection, and healthy boundary setting can promote growth and resilience.

As a trauma-focused therapist and healer I work from a holistic approach to integrate mind, body and spirit with my clients. I believe that we are all living out of our perspective of our story and with each new day comes the opportunity to understand and develop that story more. I deeply understand the need for attachment with ourselves and others, so I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients and help them gain insight into their stories. I work with adults, children, teens and couples to help them with a variety of issues based on trust and connection.

As a licensed counselor I work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced trauma, including shame; as well as clients with anxiety, depression and addictions. I also specialize in working with children who have autism, anxiety, ADHD and sensory processing issues, as well as with their family members. I work with clients to help heal their attachment wounds and to integrate their past traumas so they no longer act as triggers in their lives. Working with couples and families to assist them in understanding their triggers and emotions and in communicating in a validating and empathic way is my strength.

I find it important to create realistic and healthy goals in the therapy process as well as celebrate the small victories along the way. I’m a huge advocate of a client-centered approach in therapy because therapy is finding your voice and gaining confidence in allowing others to hear it in healthy and constructive ways.

I feel honored to walk alongside others in their life journey. I believe that everyone has a unique outlook on life and deserves to live into their potential. My goal as a therapist is to create space for people to find healing, and grow in awareness of their innate strengths and abilities. You are the expert on your life, and together we can work towards healing and wholeness. Therapy can be nerve-wracking and scary, especially if it’s a new thing, and I value the courage it takes to enter into a new space and be vulnerable. I’ve been there too!

Are your children displaying challenges with emotions, relating to others or adjusting to a school environment? Difficulty regulating emotions and impulsive behaviors can negatively affect the way we interact with others, causing difficulties in building those relationships we need to thrive. I primarily work with children and teens with an emphasis on Autism, development delays, ADHD and anxiety and the impact on daily functioning and fully enjoying life. I have seen how trauma negatively affects normal childhood development and have been trained in EMDR for children to help free them from a burden and pain they don’t understand.
