I am driven by a desire to help children and adults overcome the stressors of life, so they can find fulfillment and joy. From anxiety to depression, to self-esteem or self-doubt, to helping survivors of unhealthy/abusive relationships, you are now in the right place. Finding someone that can truly understand and can make a difference in our lives is not easy. I understand that it’s difficult to seek quality help, find someone, only to later learn that they are unfit to help you.

I specialize in working with addiction, spirituality, women's issues, self-esteem, family, couples, social skills, career, anxiety, depression, and multicultural issues.
Wanting to teach brought me to counseling, which ironically, has allowed me to explore the journey of life with those who seek guidance, and it is the aspect I perhaps love most about being a clinician. I am passionate about community which has led me to working with individuals, young adults, couples and their families in diverse settings such as private practice, therapeutic schools, outpatient treatment, residential treatment, and criminal justice settings.

“Slow breathing is like an anchor in the midst of an emotional storm: the anchor won't make the storm go away, but it will hold you steady until it passes." quoted by Russ Harris. This quote is a good reminder to us that in times when we may feel overwhelmed with the stressors of life, to just stop for one moment to slow down the pace of our life and our thoughts. I know taking this first step to obtain additional support in your life may not have been easy, but I am so glad that you did. My goal with working with you is to provide you these small reminders and to empower you to improve what is currently working well in your life.

Trauma comes in many forms including but not limited to childhood abuse/childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence/abuse, MST, combat/first responder trauma, narcissistic abuse, religious trauma, bullying, fire, floods, and hurricanes. Unresolved trauma symptoms can look like anxiety, depression, irritability, angry outbursts, mood swings, people-pleasing, and codependency. It IS possible to neutralize old issues and traumas so they are no longer triggered in the present. I am well versed in recovery enhancement by neutralizing old triggers, and am spiritually friendly. If you're ready, I'm here for you.

Difficulties or frustration in your relationships? Do you feel as though no one hears you? Do you have feelings of anxiety or depression without knowing where those feelings are coming from? Many of the individuals I work with feel this way due to relationship conflicts, childhood emotional neglect issues, trauma, daily stress, and ineffective communication. Hope and success are achievable. I believe creating a safe environment for clients to express and process feelings and frustrations is of the utmost importance.

Are you so anxious you feel like you’re crawling out of your skin? Do you feel unsafe and stressed out to the point where it’s difficult for you to sleep?

You might be turning away from your intimate relationships, isolating, being unable to manage your emotions or turning to food for comfort. If you’re experiencing any of these disturbing symptoms that are making it hard to live your life, please know that you can take back your power and heal from PTSD.
