"Obstacles don’t have to stop you if you run into a wall. Don’t turn around and give up, figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Every person has the ability to reach beyond the limits of what is possible, and we only reach these limits by working through them until we go beyond them into the impossible. Each step we take can move us towards achieving those goals.

I understand the impact that trauma has on survivors of physical, emotional and sexual abuse...how it makes you feel unworthy, how it makes you feel unsafe today, and how it is difficult to enjoy life.

Picture this: it's 2 am, you planned to be asleep hours ago but the impending doom of tomorrow's tasks is triggering an existential crisis. You realize it's been 48 hours since you've thought about water and your screen time is sending you concerning notifications. You're not certain, but you may have forgotten to take your meds today. Not to mention, the unprocessed trauma from your childhood has somehow manifested into a form of heartburn that feels deadly. If any of this sounds familiar, welcome!

You are worthy of peace and joy! If you are tired of feeling stuck, distracted, or minimizing yourself and thinking of all the things you should be doing or unsure where to start....stop "should-ing" on yourself! Depression, grief, anger and anxiety are normal human emotions. However, with most things in life, it’s all about balance and moderation. Sometimes things from the past, fears of the future's uncertainty or the way we are wired creates patterns that interfere with living a more meaningful, joyful, and peaceful life- one that includes connecting with the healing powers already within you!

Throughout the last decade I have learned and come to believe that therapy can help! My passion is working with adolescents and adults in identifying areas in their life that are in need of a change. This change can be through physical health and mental health. Many of my clients are working towards more positive thought processes and acceptance of the things they can’t change.

Are you tired of living in survival mode? Perhaps you're wondering if there could be more to life than just getting by? Would you love to learn to relax, to bring playfulness, peace and purpose back into your life? Trauma isn't what happens to us, it's what happens inside of us as a result of what happens to us. It's the invisible walls we build around our hearts to keep ourselves safe and the chronic dysregulation in our nervous systems. By addressing unresolved trauma, we can heal the roots of disconnection, self-sabotage, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, codependency and more. We can awaken our hearts and begin to thrive!

Human existence is about struggle.... but also, connection. Our feelings of isolation, anxiety, and grief can repress growth and lead to inaction. Struggle is an opportunity to be seized; a challenge we can either succumb to or learn from. Not because of the struggle itself, but because of the lessons it has to teach. This path isn’t meant to be walked alone. As a veteran who has traveled the world and worked with many people of various cultures, belief systems, and identities, I’ve learned that teamwork is an essential part of growth. Simply put, I view myself as a professional confidant and communicator.
