At times, trauma can get us locked in painful patterns of interacting with others or responding to our environment. Whether we are re-living pain and hurt in our relationships or reacting to triggers around us in ways that no longer serve us, the results can leave us depressed, chronically stressed, and exhausted. Living an authentic life that includes joy and fulfillment does not have to be a fantasy. Therapy can help you gain some clarity about your struggles and give you the tools you need to make transformational changes.

Trauma impacts our relationships. It's that simple. If your sexual assault makes it hard to be touched, if events from your childhood leave you afraid to trust, if the way your ex treated you is ruining things for you now: you're experiencing that impact. It may feel like a lot, but having the type of relationships you want (laugh 'til you cry, hot sex, deep emotional connection, whatever!) is totally achievable. You don't have to feel embarrassed by what you've gone through or scared to speak it out loud. Vulnerability, authenticity, and healthy connection are waiting for you and you don't have to find them on your own.

In a world of Snapchat filters, Photoshop, and social media posts of others ‘living their best life,’ it’s far too easy to believe that everyone (but you) has it all together. Do you wonder if you’re the only one who struggles with esteem, image, sex, and relationships? Spoiler alert: you are NOT the only one fighting those battles and you are NOT alone. I have devoted my life to helping others in their worst moments. After spending more than twenty years in public safety, I decided to be helpful in a very different way and began my journey on a new path that includes counseling, activism, and education.

Briefly stated, I think I am a bright, caring, and sensitive person. I have over 40 years of experience including work with people of varied ethnic backgrounds and issues- in a mental health center, a family counseling agency, and in private practice. I see individuals, couples, and families. What I offer as a therapist is genuine concern, acceptance, and a safe place to work through issues without judgement. I take an active role in therapy, and am more than a passive listener. I encourage self-care such as diet, exercise, and mindfulness.

I am a native of the South, but I have lived in many places--California, Texas, Germany. Served in the US Army for four years, got my Masters in counselling afterwards. I have worked in mental health facilities (including prison) since 2006 and on contract since 2010. I started working as a counsellor with US soldiers in 2010, and with Marines and sailors in 2012 I really enjoy working with military members (past or present) and their families, as well as civilians from all walks of life and the many stages of living.

My passion for helping people develop their spiritual and mental health wellness led me to enter the Master’s degree program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Augusta University. Now as a counselor, my goal with clients is to help them unlock the profound connection between their words, stories, and people in their lives. I currently work with individuals and couples focusing on avenues to improve their relationships. I have always been inspired by Matt Smith’s quote, “We are all stories in the end, just make it a good one, ey?" We all have our story. Let's work together to unlock yours!
