I am a veteran of the armed forces and interned at the VA in the Post Combat Care Unit working with veterans who struggle with PTSD.
Life can be difficult at times and I meet each client where "they are" in life without any judgment or criticism. Stress and anxiety can come in many forms and many ways, which can lead to feelings of being "overwhelmed." All trauma is different and each client has a different response/reaction to the same experience. I work with ALL families, couples, and individuals in processing, understanding, and learning to cope on their journey through life.

Make that first step to finding relief from your emotional pain, whether it's experienced as anxiety, depression, anger, or trauma.
Your symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger are your body's way of telling you something's not right! As a child, you may have experienced some sort of failure in your relationships or environment. As a child you compensate for these traumas by creating strategies for survival. Maybe you are a perfectionist, or maybe you find that you give more than you receive, or perhaps you just feel disconnected from yourself and everyone around you? The pain you are experiencing is real, and coping with it just isn't working anymore.

Just as most trauma is incurred through relationships, it's my belief that providing a safe and accepting therapeutic relationship helps clients feel secure in exploring their feelings.
I approach my work with the belief each of us deserves to be seen and heard. For many of us, the most important thing in life is to feel connected, supported, and secure with those we care about. I have spent the last few years working with clients with histories of trauma incurred through relationships, be they family, romantic, platonic, or professional. The work clients and I do together focuses initially on processing the impact of our relationships, developing coping skills to deal with current behaviors, and moving forward with a healthier, more balanced life.

I also practice Accelerated Resolution therapy (ART) for the treatment of trauma, including PTSD and abuse.
No one feels shame when they need an “adjustment” at the chiropractor and I see counseling that way—an adjustment in our thinking/functioning that we all need from time to time. Finding the right therapist is important and most of the power of therapy happens when you feel understood, validated, and appreciated. I have a warm and loving personality and I use a direct style to get to the heart of the problem. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother with a lifetime of good and bad experiences that allow me to empathize with a wide variety of people and challenges.
