I believe that you can find hope in a lot places. You can see it in a stranger's smile, feel it in a parent's embrace, or hear it in the sweet sound of an old hymn. More than any other place, I believe we look for hope in our relationships. Unfortunately, the reality for most of us is that our relationships are where we find our greatest pain. Whether we have been hurt or maybe we have done the hurting, the pain of disconnection, rejection and abandonment leave their mark on our lives.

I have seen the pain and dysfunction caused by mental health and behavioral issues. Not only do these issues affect the client directly, but everyone in their lives. My greatest satisfaction comes from helping these individuals understand the cause of their behaviors so that they can move past them. My ideal client genuinely wants to change the way they think and behave. They feel helpless and hopeless. Those are the individuals who benefit the most from hypnotherapy. Treatment allows them to develop an enthusiasm for life that allows them to start each new day. That's when we are both successful.

Is a lot of your self talk focused on self loathing, shame, or perceived failings in your life? Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or anxious more often than not? Taking the time and effort to look at what is working and what isn’t working in your own life is a brave step toward feeling better in your own skin. Often our work together will look a lot like taking steps (some minuscule, some monumental, all equally as needed and pivotal) toward yourself and the ways you can become more fully you. Through that greater understanding (and ultimate acceptance) of self, you can find a quieter, kinder inner voice.

I'm not your typical therapist. Why? Well, because I too am on this ADHD rollercoaster . Yup, that's right—I'm not just the guide; I'm on the ride with you! Sometimes, it's like juggling Jell-O, but I've learned to turn that chaos into my own kind of masterpiece. I'm all too familiar with those days when focus is just a mythical creature, and impulse control takes a vacation. But hey, isn't that the beauty of it? I've been there, and I'm still here, thriving. Navigating life with ADHD is like trying to play Jenga blindfolded. The struggles are real—procrastination, time blindness, the paralysis, and oh the (dis)organization!

You may function well but feel aware of something wrong - a troubling, confusing or unfulfilling part of your experience. What you know to be true may not align with what you feel or you may have limited control over your behavior in some areas. Even those who can articulate why they want to start therapy often find that there’s more they were searching for. I think it takes time to work through the layers and find language that fits. I see therapy more as healing and adapting than it is eliminating bad behaviors. Sometimes your ways of making it through stop working as well. I think our work together is finding a new way.

I have been a clinical social worker in the mental health field since 1998. I want to first acknowledge that I live and work on the ancestral lands of the Kansa, Osage and Kickapoo Nations. I wish to honor the elders past and present of these nations. As a trauma therapist, I recognize the devastating cost of US colonial policies and actions to these peoples.

One of my favorite quotes is by Emily Dickinson, "I am out with the lanterns looking for myself." Over the last 46 years of wandering this earth, I don't know a lot to be true, but I strongly believe that we are all doing the best we can with what we have. Sometimes we just don't have what we need. We are all better together. We are all wandering this earth trying to find purpose. And we all need help finding our way. There is a wild and holy beast inside of all of us waiting to be loved and tamed...but kept a little wild. Our wild is our magic. It is why people love us. Please stay a little wild.

Relationships are my passion! Whether it be your relationship with yourself, your partner, or life itself, I aim to help people more deeply connect with their authentic selves. When we're living out of alignment, we can have a whole host of symptoms, and it's difficult to get clear about what to do next when we can't see things accurately. Trauma is real.

If you're at a crossroads and unsure which way to go, let me help you illuminate your path forward!
