Dealing with anxiety can be difficult. Fortunately, research has shown many strategies that can help alleviate some of the worry and discomfort. When we combine these techniques with a practice of self-empowerment, the possibilities of healing increase tenfold. One of the best things that we can do for ourselves is to learn to recognize, embrace, and utilize our inner strengths. My counseling service is designed to help you find your inner champion while providing you with teachable tools that you need to overcome current and future obstacles.

Do you feel like you are just going through the motions of your life? Maybe you can't relax and your thoughts go a mile a minute....or you feel distant and cut off from the people around you. You may even struggle with feeling numbed out or feeling everything all at once. You may identify as a people-pleaser, "control freak", or really struggle with your self-esteem. Chances are you've got chronic illness, pain, or your body just feels like your own worst enemy. If this resonates, I'd bet you are navigating a significant trauma or loss. I know first hand how hard it can be to reach out and find help; I am SO glad you are here.

Welcome to my practice! My primary focus is treating adults struggling with trauma. Traumatic experiences can cause individuals to relive past experiences. It can keep clients believing past narratives or trying to control future circumstances. I understand the struggle of outgrowing your trauma intellectually but when a trigger happens you still feel like that hurt inner child. Biologically, childhood trauma causes your brain to be wired differently depending on the stage of development when the trauma occurred. In treatment you will learn the why’s, how to find safety, and acceptance of all parts of yourself to heal as you are.

You feel drained, exhausted and completely frustrated. Your partner is clueless about how to connect with you and you are sure there is no possible way you could make it clearer! They’re just as angry and frustrated. The tension is palpable. And you feel, naturally, angry, lonely, tired. It’s painful. You have put your heart in to this relationship and you are not ready to throw in the towel but the attempts you each make to fix it only land with a thud and result in you both feeling like a failure.

I am taking new clients. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to grow and learn about yourself while letting go of what doesn't serve you. The first step in reaching out for support can be a scary one, but you don't have to take on the rest of the journey alone. I believe that therapy is a partnership built on trust, and though change may be difficult, it can become a little easier to cope with, with the right set of tools and support.
