Waitlist for new clients
Apply for Waitlist on my website, located in address section of profile. As an EMDR Certified Therapist, I get how past trauma can leave you feeling like you’re drowning in chaos—messy family dynamics, toxic relationships, anxiety, low self-esteem—you name it, I’ve seen it. It’s exhausting to keep it together while deep down you know you need something real to heal. Whether it’s past trauma, toxic relationships, or the chaos of everyday life, with my deep understanding of trauma and how it impacts every aspect of life, we’ll tackle it together. I’m here to help you navigate it all with clarity and confidence.

Life can throw a number of curve-balls our way. Sometimes these experiences are manageable, but often they bring up a number of feelings, thoughts, and reactions that impact our daily functioning. Perhaps you are struggling with infertility, grief/loss, the challenges of pregnancy + new parenthood, or postpartum anxiety/depression. Maybe you have experienced trauma in your lifetime and have never had the space to give it the narrative it deserves. Or are experiencing stress from a new life transition. Whatever it might be, I offer a collaborative, safe, and supportive environment to find the solutions that best meet your needs.

REMOTE VIDEO SESSIONS NOW AVAILABLE! Everyone thinks you are fine, but you go to work and no one can tell that you’re struggling inside. You feel depressed, anxious, worn down. All you want to do is sleep and shut out the world. The self-contempt, criticism, and doubt are real, and they are relentless. You want to reach out for help but feel guilty, even selfish. By putting everyone else at the top of your list, you’ve neglected and dishonored yourself. What you really want is to feel a sense of worth, like you belong, like you have something to contribute to this vast world.

Admitting that things are overwhelming and we need some help is a hard thing to do. There is no shame in admitting that we can all benefit from a little extra help at some time or another in our life. I believe that at the heart of most of our struggles lies our disconnection from our true, authentic selves. I believe my greatest strength lies in my ability to see beneath your accumulation of traumatic experiences, adopted belief systems, and pain to your true essence in order to assist you on the journey of becoming reacquainted with your magic.

Many people struggle with issues in their lives and can benefit from meeting with a trained professional. I help my clients identify problems and work toward a solution. Most problems can be solved with proper help and early treatment, which keeps small problems from becoming large ones that then seem unsolvable. I believe that each individual is unique, regardless if the issues are the same they are still different. Because of this belief, I provide an eclectic approach to therapy matching each individual needs with a specific therapuetic approach. If applicable and the client is interested hypno-therapy is available.

I have experience working with individuals (adults and adolescents), couples, and families. I am a trauma trained therapist! I assist clients having issues with anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, substance abuse, anger management, relationship conflict, and grief. I understand that each client is unique and work with them to find the best way to achieve their goals, and thoroughly explore all treatment suggestions. Choosing counseling is usually a decision made after the client has explored other methods of resolving the issue; the goal is to find the best solution together as quickly as possible.
