"Most people come to counseling to find out what's wrong with them. I say, come on in, have a seat, and let's find out what's right with you". My belief is that the human capacity for healing is limitless. I also believe trauma can be healed. My specialty is working with trauma, PTSD, and Anxiety. My strength is in treating people according to their need and getting to the root of the issues bothering them.

Life throws curve balls at us. A relationship disintegrates, a son or daughter goes astray, the career that seemed so promising, isn't. Life doesn't work out like we planned. But you don't have to stay stuck – in a dead marriage, a dead-end job, or constant defeat. There are better options than waiting, wishing, and hoping. Underneath whatever is wrong with you, something is actually very right. Your feelings make sense once you understand the events and people who shaped you. And with compassionate understanding your life can be transformed from the inside out.

Reaching out for help during difficult times in your life can feel vulnerable. The truth is healthy people ask for help when they need it. I know, not ideal, but it is what it is. Building a strong connection with your therapist is one of the largest predictors for therapy success. I want my clients to know that I take their care seriously. I am a little fiery and I like to tell it like it is. I have my client's best interest in mind while guiding them toward their goals. It won't be easy, but that is what I am here for! I am proud of the work I do and I feel honored when clients trust me to be part of their journey.
