Hi! Are you struggling with major life changes, acute emotional distress/trauma, or wanting to address maladaptive behavior patterns that are causing strain in your life? I can help you work through these issues with reflective, empathic and non-judgmental therapy. I have a strong belief in the healing power of the therapeutic alliance. I strive to create a space of trust, safety and mutual respect. Life is hard enough as it is-getting support shouldn't be! I believe we can ALL use some support, validation, and empathy while learning new ways to cope and enjoy life, find peace and enjoy personal growth and confidence.

I believe that everyone deserves an environment where they feel comfortable enough to discuss their beliefs and feelings without judgment. I apply several theoretical orientations such as, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Theory in my practice to best meet my clients' individual needs. I work on building a strong therapeutic relationship using empathy and non-judgmental, goal-oriented approaches which assist client's treatment outcome.

When people survive traumatic family relationships, we don't naturally get to form our own identity or learn how to manage our emotions or communicate in healthy ways. It's only about getting by until we can get out. Rather than finding safety in connection as human beings are built to do, we see connection as a threat, yet simultaneously crave it. We develop protective ways of relating to people we love, which often lead to feeling conflicted, distant, and unsatisfied. Have you felt like you are stuck in a loop, wanting to trust others but feeling like you can't because you'll only end up getting hurt again? We can change that.

You have to be strong. All. The. Damn. Time. And that’s just become too much. Even for you. You have BIG feelings and may even cry when you’re alone, but hide them so the world can’t use them against you. You’re exhausted. But you can’t slow down for fear of what may happen if painful memories overwhelm you. Your internal voice is relentlessly mean and you want to shut it up, but you don’t even know if it’s possible to truly accept yourself. You know far too many people have too much access to your physical space or emotional energy, but you learned this is how to keep people around and saying “no” leaves you alone or rejected.

My goal as a therapist is to find solutions that work for you on an individual basis, helping you to discover the true potential of your life. There may be no magic button or quick-fix solution when it comes to changing things from the past that have been difficult. What we can do is work together to find understanding and resolution in the difficult areas of your life and in the challenges you have to face. Through various techniques and approaches that have proven results, we’ll be able to identify the behaviors and thoughts that might be holding you back from living your best life, and finding meaning in your everyday life.

So, you’re thinking about therapy… It takes courage to ask for help. When we experience something that has caused distress, threatens our life or our well-being it can be difficult to think clearly to make healthy choices for ourselves. Therapy allows you to talk about all of the negative thoughts and feelings that are left over.

Everyone has moments where life's challenges can be overwhelming and feel like they are too much to handle. During these times choosing a therapist for yourself or loved one can be a very important decision. I am dedicated to providing quality, professional, and compassionate services in a safe supportive environment. I cover a wide variety of issues for children, adolescents, parents, individuals, and couples. I also offer an eclectic combination of therapeutic approaches. I take a client centered approach to ensure a coordinated effort in hopes of providing clients an improvement in quality of life, opportunity for growth, and a new found hope.

I believe that each person innately holds the answers to their own healing, yet healing can often be blocked by deeply embedded societal systems, stigmatization, oppression, and past trauma. I believe that each person can discover, trust, and give voice to their most authentic self with support. Therapeutically, I endeavor to co-create solutions with those experiencing unwanted effects of trauma which can be experienced and manifest in our lives in many ways. My experience in counseling and passion is in helping clients recover from addiction, unresolved trauma, and adverse childhood experiences.

Life is hard. There are constant experiences, feelings, hopes, dreams, successes, failures, and thoughts to navigate and process. Sometimes we do okay navigating life without extra help, other times we need a safe space and fresh perspective to learn, grow and heal. I am always deeply honored when someone trusts me to create that space and walk alongside them in their journey to understand themselves and the world around them. I believe that you are the expert concerning your life, and my job is to collaborate with you to help you achieve your goals and make some sense of the world and your place in it.

I love to work with clients who are ready for change. I often work with survivors of trauma looking for a holistic lens to wellness. I believe in the value and strength of the human spirit and deeply enjoy helping others discover that, as well. By creating an environment that is safe and confidential, we can work toward true healing, growth, balance, and authenticity--living a life that is true to who you are.
