I work with adults and teens to address current challenges and guide you into a healing space.
I love the helping process, and I am here to learn about you – your wisdom, your creativity, and the ways that you have coped with challenges in the past. During our time together, we will explore the experiences you have had in an attempt to bring awareness to things that are working well and things that you would like to change. Maybe you have struggled with self-esteem and fear being judged by others. Perhaps you’re dealing with changes in your life, taking on a new career, entering a new relationship, or navigating parenthood – transitions that all can bring both joy and stress.

I'm a trauma-focused therapist that works with adults ages 18-45.
"Healing Doesn't Mean The Damage Never Existed. It Means That The Damage No Longer Controls Our Lives."- David Kessler. Trauma is something that happens to you, but it doesn't have to become your identity. It can have a profound and lasting impact on every aspect of your life. From difficulties setting boundaries in relationships, at work or school, to everyday stress, trauma can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. By understanding the role that trauma has played in your life, we can start to address the ways it's affecting you today and begin to build a foundation for healing.

I have experience working with adults and adolescents in a variety of settings dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other issues.
Life can be a struggle. Maybe you’re balancing multiple demands: parenthood, relationship, career, and you feel constantly pulled in different directions. As the demands increase, time for yourself decreases and you find yourself full of worry and defeating thoughts such as: “I can't handle this” “what will I do?”; “I’m not good enough”. Self doubt and insecurity set in and daily tasks may feel like they’re more difficult to get through. You may feel exhausted but these running thoughts keep you up at night. Or maybe you’ve felt this way for a while, and you’re beginning to wonder if you will ever feel content again.

I treat young adults with a history of trauma, anxiety, or navigating transitions (pregnancy, move, college).
Your struggles are valid. Do you feel like you don't want to be a "burden" to others by sharing your feelings or talking about things that happened so long ago? Are you someone who lays up at night replaying events from that day because you think you offended somebody, or feel the need to review things many times to avoid making a mistake? If you are exhausted from people-pleasing, find yourself triggered into emotional outbursts or shame, anxiety, panic attacks or self-doubt in your abilities, I want to walk with you through the weird, embarrassing, and painful parts of your life so that you can find comfort, acceptance, and hope.
