I consider it a great honor to walk alongside those willing to share their stories, no matter how messy it may seem.

Over thinking, over-doing, overwhelmed? Doing too much can leave us feeling disappointed, anxious, stuck, and frustrated. This leads to relationship dissatisfaction, sleeplessness, tension, anxiety, depression, and overall confusion about what choices to make or how to improve the situation.

You’re ready to feel more confident in navigating life’s stressors and your relationships. Let’s break this cycle and create your new way of living, by design.

I have always had a genuine interest in the uniqueness and well-being of others. I believe that we can all grow from the situations we have experienced.

Certain experiences can cause us to feel alone, anxious, sad, depressed, unmotivated, angry, violated, exposed, and at times emotionally unstable. Here in therapy I walk the journey with you as we work through emotions, gain insight, and create more beneficial perspectives. I provide a space of safety, understanding, and compassion.

Much of people's suffering comes from feeling disconnected from others, unresolved past issues that affect their present lives, and feeling unsafe in their bodes. Trauma is often thought to be the result of war, or severe abuse, when really there is a whole range of experiences that can be traumatic. They can include growing up in an invalidating family environment, surgery and illness, the loss of a loved one, divorce or ongoing relationship issues. Because trauma affects the brain, body, and nervous system, integrative approaches have been most successful in helping people feel whole again and lead meaningful and satisfying lives.
