Accepting New Clients: Is your dream of living happily ever after with your spouse becoming a frustrating nightmare? Does your conflict with your spouse devolve into criticism of each other? Do you feel like you are constantly defending yourself and developing feelings of contempt for your spouse? Has communication almost completely stopped? Have you or your spouse had an affair or been unfaithful by spending time, energy, and financial resources on things that do not represent the commitments you made to each other? If so, I hear you, and I have been there.

I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced interpersonal trauma, specifically intimate partner violence/domestic violence, child abuse, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse. I have experience working with adults and children who have experienced and witnessed interpersonal trauma. If these are concerns you or your child are experiencing, I am here to help you navigate the complex impacts of relational trauma and ways to move forward. Some ways we may do this is by processing traumatic events, learning how to cope with trauma symptoms, and learning how to form relationships that work best for you and your needs.

Being a person can be hard. Living a life that best suits you as an individual is a work in progress. Along the way, there are undoubtedly challenges. Sometimes, our experiences leave us confused, overwhelmed, and in need of some support. As a therapist, my role is to help understand where you’ve been, where you’d like to go, and help you get there. It’s possible to move from getting by to feeling you have agency over your own life and choices. I specialize in working with challenging life events such as trauma, major life changes, relationship distress, and chronic illnesses. I also work with C-PTSD and Narcissistic Abuse recovery.

Way to go about taking the first step to start therapy! It's tough to feel any balance. Stressors weigh on you and may even add to your anxiety and depression symptoms. Perhaps you may be struggling and at a loss for what to do and how to do it. I can support you to find the best strategies to tackle these stressors and get back to balance despite the many things we aren't able to change in the world now. I've spent many years working with individuals to navigate their symptoms to work together to make daily life feel more balanced. I have extensive training and experience to treat the whole person with a mindful approach.

There is a myriad of ways we humans suffer - anxiety, depression, loss and grief, hurtful relationships, trauma and its aftermath, intolerable feelings of shame, guilt, loneliness and sadness, parental challenges, addictions, panic attacks, confusion, disappointments, and on and on. And..., it takes courage to seek help. It would be my privilege to offer you a warm and safe space to freely speak and to be.

I love my work with children, teens, and families. I am driven by my passion to help others discover their potential by using individualized methods to fit the needs of those I work with. I have found that many couples get lost in the day-to-day activities losing track of each others needs. I enjoy helping couples learn new skills that can help them reconnect and learn to navigate life stages together. Children and teens are faced with many societal pressures that can be challenging for adults to understand. By working collaboratively the discovery of healthy communication can benefit families.

I provide services for clients who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems with my assistance. I offer a professional relationship with my clients to assist them in exploring and resolving difficult issues. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that sometimes take a long time to achieve. While some clients may need only a few counseling sessions to feel complete, others may require months. I offer a caring, empathic space to explore, heal and to try new ways of being.

You are sick of feeling the guilt, frustration, and a constant need to “fix” yourself. You’re tired of yo-yo dieting and hating yourself. You want the guilt and shame to go away so you can feel normal. You feel like you gain weight just by looking at food. You crave sugar all the time. It seems like others don’t experience this struggle like you do. You don't feel in control of your emotions or your body. Work and home responsibilities make things seem even harder to control. Life feels like a vicious cycle you can’t escape from. This cycle is exhausting and you are ready for a change.
