I have 10+ years of experience helping people with trauma, anxiety, substance use issues, and relationship challenges. I take a trauma-informed approach by focusing on the way past experiences cause problems in the present. I use a combination of open discussion and focused goal-setting to help those I work with achieve mental wellness. I use EMDR Therapy to help resolve past problems that lead to overwhelming emotions and reduce persistent negative feelings about yourself. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients learn mindfulness skills and relationship skills to enjoy more of life.

Life is really hard sometimes. I can imagine that you are here because you are ready to get rid of the barriers standing in the way of you being your best self. Maybe you have found yourself in a funk that feels hard to get out of or have lost motivation to do things you once enjoyed. It may be that you feel you can't get out of your head or overwhelmed by everything going on in your life or in the world. Maybe you feel isolated or misunderstood. Perhaps you feel scattered or are having trouble focusing on what's important. I am glad you are here, and I believe I can help.

It's hard to know how to choose a counselor. I'm happy to meet for an hour or two at no charge to help you find someone. I believe that one's thinking and beliefs are important, but certainly there is an emotional component that is key as well. I find that people feel a lot better when they feel their lives are moving forward. I am best at trauma, anxiety, and panic. I enjoy working with couples, singles who are dating, and people struggling with fatigue. I have much experience with fire service personnel, and some experience with military. I am best with traumas that occurred as an adult.

Pain is an unavoidable and a necessary part of life. But suffering -- especially prolonged, "punishing" suffering -- is not. So many people seeking therapy suffer from anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, and self-sabotaging behaviors. We use defenses to avoid our emotions. Ironically emotions aren't the SOURCE of pain but in fact are there to HELP us HEAL from the painful losses, hurts and challenges of life. You don't come to therapy to talk about your week. You come for relief from your suffering, for a chance to work through and find meaning in your pain and, just as with a broken bone, heal stronger and better!

Oftentimes, when people seek therapy, they’re looking for a place where they can feel fully seen and understood, without needing to explain the unique layers of their experience. You may feel disconnected and overwhelmed. You might also be struggling with self-esteem, complex family dynamics, or carrying unprocessed trauma. In our work together, I strive to create a safe and culturally responsive space where you can openly explore these challenges and gain clarity around who you are and the life you want to live.
