Do you have anxiety that effects you physically and would like to decrease bothersome body sensations? Somatic Experiencing can help decrease these sensations and help you move through past traumas, injuries and negative core beliefs. Do you struggle sexually in the bedroom due to a history of sexual abuse, sexual addiction, or sexual dysfunction due to a medical condition? If so, I can help educate and walk you through the process to have a fulfilling and exciting sex life. I work with betrayed partners, sex/love/pornography addicts and those that have acted sexually outside of their primary relationship.

Life can be both an adventure and a challenge. I provide a safe space to come as you are and feel comfortable in sharing emotions, gaining support, and learning healthy skills to navigate your journey. I have been in practice since 2013, coming along side individuals going through the many transitions and adjustments that often occur with relationships, work, identity, family, and everything in between. I will meet you where you are and help to guide you in becoming the best version of you. I especially enjoy working with clients from a Christian-based perspective for those who desire this.

The journey of life has rewards and challenges. Often, friends and family are not trained to understand or deal with mental health problems, so having someone to listen to who has experience is tremendously beneficial. If you feel that you are facing a difficult challenge(s) and this is overwhelming you and impacting your functioning as well, then it is time to act. I have clinical experience in various environments. I will support you as you build on your strengths. I specialized in diminishing anxiety and depression symptoms. If you want to work with me, email me or call me. I offer online sessions only.
