I have 13 years of experience working with adults with various mental health needs. I offer a safe space for you to receive compassion and understanding. This is so important as it can be a challenge to get this from the outside world. I can help you identify your inner strengths and how you can utilize your strengths to overcome your challenges. I have experience helping people learn how to cope with depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety are not weaknesses and do not define who you are!

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families heal their lives and relationships. My approach is compassionate, supportive and hopeful. It is my belief that you are not "flawed" or lacking, but rather are constrained by burdens and beliefs that are the result of painful experiences. Together we remove those constraints so that you can experience freedom, wholeness and joy. When working with couples, my goal is to help remove constraints to intimacy and to help you and your partner create a relationship that is honest and fulfilling. Often personal healing must occur in order for this to happen.

It’s been one of those days. One thing after another after another. I am so overwhelmed so frustrated, mad, distraught - everything negative you can think of. Why does everyone make life out to be so fun and easy? Its not! I literally feel like I’m sinking… like no matter how hard I try to be positive, to think happy thoughts, to try affirmations…it’s all such a joke. And time after time after time I hear: “You’re so much smarter than that. You could do so much better." Where's the compassion for me? I feel alone and I really need some support.

You're a professional or even maybe a therapist yourself, looking for an experienced trauma therapist to see in-person. You want to be able to reflect on your recent or past trauma with acceptance or at least not break out in tears or anger when your past is triggered. Since the trauma, you might find yourself replaying what happened instead of sleeping. You might be irritated by things that didn't bother you before or have feelings of panic or depression that prevent you from being yourself. You don't only want coping strategies, you want to address the route of your symptoms.
