"You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore." - William Faulkner. The power of being able to accept and let go the anxiety, challenges, and losses we face can allow our minds the emotional space to grow. By using mindfulness methods, you will be able to practice patience, acceptance, forgiveness, ownership, and kindness towards yourself. Seeking help and allowing yourself to be vulnerable takes such strength and courage. My goal is to help you heal emotionally, mentally, physically, relationally, and spiritually.

As a trauma informed psychotherapist, I help individuals struggling with relationships, depression, anxieties, mood disorders, stress, panic attacks, emotions, certain behaviors, sexual and abuse history, goal setting and life adjustments and transitions. Many of my clients have experienced lots of emotional distress. Many are experiencing relationship issues they feel are insurmountable, flashbacks, Self- esteem, confidence and intimacy problems. They are looking to change, break cycles. They feel exhausted, nothing they tried on their own has worked. They are looking for direction, guidance and support. I'm here to help.

I have been a therapist for 14 years and worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with children, adolescents, and adults. In the past several years, I have focused on working with adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, poor self-esteem, life transitions, abuse, generational trauma, infertility, and parenting. Together we gain insight into their lives by identifying changes they would like to make, how the past impacts the present, and work towards healing and happiness. I work with all races and religions and am aware of my privilege, which is open for discussion as to how it will impact our therapy.

If you are struggling to manage your emotions and it is impacting you or your relationships with others in any way, I can help you. Together we will develop a plan to get to the root of these feelings, process the trauma and challenge your thinking pattern into a healthier more realistic truth. Rather short or long term, therapy is a process and if you are willing to commit to feeling better and step into a healthier version of yourself then it is my pleasure to walk that path with you.

I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, binge eating disorder, trauma/PTSD, addiction, women's/men's issues, domestic violence/abuse, and other socioemotional and interpersonal related concerns. Clinically, I work with clients (adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families) primarily through a cognitive-behavioral approach, fostering empathy and authenticity in a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive environment. I also work strongly through a collaborative approach, helping clients gain a deeper understanding into their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions in order to help cultivate positive change.

Life presents all of us with challenges and difficulties that can be painful, confusing, and at times, overwhelming. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, personal relationships, or adjusting to life transitions, I am here to support you in your efforts to understand and move past these difficult experiences. My approach as a therapist is to compassionately partner with clients as they move toward new levels of self-awareness, understanding, and clarity. I believe that within each person is the capacity to heal, grow, and realize our innate capacity to live well.

I believe in helping people find a balance in their lives. Helping navigate the need for challenging insights and how to use that knowledge to change their response to life and the things that might come; a pivot if you will. My unique life/work experiences have enhanced my ability to understand others and guide them through life's challenges. I started as a first responder and in a lot of ways I never stopped being one; just learned to put out different fires.

Have you gone as far as you can in traditional psychotherapy? Are you looking to go deeper sooner? Do you want sustainable results within one to three sessions? Are you serious and committed to treatment? Then consider undergoing psychological surgery in addition to psychotherapy. For 28 years I have helped patients release fear, anger, shame, guilt, depression, or anxiety so they can experience sustaining self-love, joy, compassion, forgiveness, and discernment. If you have lost your way and want to remember who you really are, I am here to accompany you on your journey to heal at the deepest level possible.
