I specialize in trauma, anxiety, first responder challenges, and PTSD. I believe every person is unique and ultimately the expert in their own life. The body and mind are intricately connected and need to be examined together, to accurately assess and reach a resolution for life's demands.

Everyone has a story—what’s yours? Every day, our thoughts shape our experiences, influencing how we see ourselves and connect with others. If you struggle with people-pleasing, social anxiety, co-dependency, or childhood trauma, you’re not alone. These challenges can be overwhelming, often causing you to wear a mask, hiding your true self to fit in or avoid pain. But this mask doesn’t have to define your story. I offer a space to unpack and heal from the toughest parts of your story, helping you transition from trauma to healing, shame to self-compassion, people-pleasing to self-empowerment, and anxiety to authenticity.

Whether you have been to therapy before or it's your first time wondering where to even start, it takes courage to take that first step. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or occasionally ask yourself "can my life be better than this?", you are not alone. Regardless of the situation you find yourself in, I am here to help you navigate it. If you are still on the fence, thats okay - book a free 15 minute call or email me to see if we would be a good fit!

Come in and talk as much or as little as you want to. When you feel the right amount of safety and trust, we will figure out together how to proceed, how to reach the goals you have, how to help you be the person you want to be. You will find support, privacy, and respect. All of us want to belong. All of us fear being ultimately alone. All of us want to feel safe, cared for, and connected to others. Let me help you work on those things and see your symptoms and functioning improve.

Most of us have seasons of distress or relational stress in which we need new perspectives and support. Sometimes old hurts play into the immediate conflict. We may try to work everything out on our own, but often that is just not happening or not even possible. That is where talk therapy comes in. It is all about support for the present and hope for the future as clients deconstruct and reconstruct the pieces of their story. The renewal and redemption of that story is very often a key to successful therapy.

I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is the most important thing when starting therapy. I work diligently to provide a safe and comfortable space for my clients. It is important to me that my clients experience an atmosphere of trust and empathy in building the therapeutic alliance. Through deep processing, my hope is that the unconscious may come forward and bring new realizations to help in growth, healing, and understanding while navigating your life circumstances. I believe that growth comes in the uncomfortable circumstances that we face in life.

You don't have to be experiencing a breakdown to benefit from therapy. Perhaps you're just maxed out by workplace stressors, recent loss, or strained relationships. Maybe you make your living caring for others, and you find yourself spent, dissatisfied, frazzled and anxious. You feel stuck about problems you cannot fix and feel discouraged about moving forward. Therapy can help you process what's going on so you can more fully engage at your job and in the rest of your life. You can work through losses, gain insight and address burnout. You can collect tools to manage how you respond to what life hands you.

Asking for help can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be! You don’t have to suffer in silence or figure it out alone. Are you ready to name what you need? Are you ready to be authentically you? Are you ready to confront the things you’ve been avoiding, set goals, and crush them? These are just a few questions some of my clients might ask themselves as they prepare to engage in therapy.

I have 26 years of experience in healthcare working with patients, families, and medical professionals. I have had the privilege of meeting with people in moments of deep challenge - living with serious and chronic illnesses, facing end of life, managing caregiving stress, working through grief and loss and dealing with all the changes and transitions that can happen in life. I work with clients who want support through all stages of adult life from leaving home for the first time to empty nests, from caring for aging parents to adjusting to the changes that come with aging.

Sometimes, the reasons why partners become upset with each other run deeper than the present circumstances. When partners persist in doing or saying things that upset each other over and over again, there is often something more at stake than meets the eye. Stop feeling stuck in the same old problem cycle. I have over 30 years helping couples, individuals, and families find new solutions to old problems.
I have found my post-graduate training in marriage and family therapy to be a valuable resource in helping others achieve their goals and potential. I have also presented at national conferences.

We are all created for connection, and every person deserves to be fully seen, known and cared for. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to grow an authentic, meaningful, and supportive connection that can be a catalyst for healing. It's not always easy to value the parts of ourselves and our stories that feel overwhelming or even shameful, but the beauty of therapy is having the space to let those parts of us be known and embraced. I understand the value in giving yourself grace to be human, to be accepted, and cherished in your darkest seasons along with the joyful ones.
