I have over 6 years of experience navigating medical adjustment/crises, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, trauma, work/life stress, and Bipolar Disorder to adults and their loved ones across the lifespan to end-of-life.
Every person at some point in their journey reaches the “melting point” that like a solid bar of metal breaks down, overwhelms, and liquifies our resolve, spirit, and voice. Life is challenging, unpredictable, unexpected, and sometimes unfair. No one is crazy or broken, but rather human. Some of us on top of it all have additional genetic risks, loss of or strained/toxic support systems, chemical imbalances, complex/chronic medical conditions, lack of sleep, identity/role confusion, and past trauma that make navigating the present suddenly unbearable - like trying to see through a hurricane from its center.

I work with people who are seeking support and understanding, while overcoming the bumps in the road that we often encounter in life. Whether they are speed bumps or full blown roadblocks, it is important to remember that no matter how big the bump may be, there is a way to grow through the messy things we go through. I provide individual counseling to adults seeking help for overcoming trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. I primary utilize EMDR therapy to assist my clients with understanding the relationship between their most impactful experiences and how this relates to current struggles.

This could be caused by relational trauma or unhealthy relational behavior patterns, which could lead to other mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

It's never too late to develop these skills and improve your mental health.
