I specialize in working with adult and teen survivors of childhood trauma and grief. My clients grapple with daily tasks that can feel overwhelming, and connecting with others often becomes a challenge. Fear of judgment or rejection can lead to withdrawal, resulting in feelings of loneliness and isolation. Symptoms such as low self-esteem, trust issues, and intense emotional dysregulation make it difficult to reach out. Sleep is often disrupted by nightmares and flashbacks can bring back painful memories. Healing from trauma symptoms is possible, and you don’t have to do this alone. With the right support you can reclaim your life.

As a mental health clinician, a wife of 19 years, and a mother to five children: I integrate my academic training, professional tools, and on-the-ground life experience to help you deal with the unique problems you face. What does it mean to ‘live well?" We exist in a world that is rapidly expanding in technology, pace, and meaning. However, our most fundamental human needs remain the same. In this modern age of increased complexity we must constantly juggle demands from physical, emotional, mental, relational, sexual, social, occupational, and spiritual domains.

My clients enter therapy for myriad personal and specific reasons, but most of the work comes down to grief and loss: the loss of a person, place or thing; a way of being; an identity; connection; innocence; hope. Navigating any kind of change requires honest reflection set in a container of compassion, and a few solid tools.

I enjoy and work primarily with women of all ages, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I also focus attention on identity and career development, as well as tending to ever evolving relationship dynamics, including family of origin topics and sexual issues. I appreciate working with clients who are naturally curious, growth oriented, and open for feedback, as well as whom have goals of improving both communication and emotional expression throughout their lives.

My approach with individuals and in my groups is person-centered expressive arts with the belief that that all the arts stimulate inner growth no matter what the individual brings to the group. The arts are a way to build community and connection and improve quality of life for everyone.

"Making the decision to be vulnerable takes courage. I embrace supporting others with compassion while working collaboratively to create change, mindful that redefining and moving through life can be daunting. Struggling with substance abuse, trauma, mood, relationships, or life's adjustments, each individual, couple, and family is treated with kindness and respect. Being defined by life circumstances and changing this worldview is possible with support. Holistically, each one of us is unique and no one truly experiences life like that of another. However, one commonality we all do share is the need to belong and matter. Namaste"

Neurotherapy/Neurofeedback is a form of treatment that allows one to modify their brainwave activity to improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and control hyperactive behaviors. It utilizes an EEG to provide a person information about their brainwave activity and produce desirable changes. Extensive empirical research (AMA & JAMA) support Neurotherapy for the treatment of ADHD and seizures. Scientific studies also support Neurotherapy in the treatment of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, TBI, addiction, insomnia, psychosis, and bipolar disorder, as well as other Psychiatric and Neurological issues to achieve neuroplasticity.

Therapy is empowering and benefits a person’s overall mental and emotional well-being. I seek to provide a supportive and empathic environment where individuals can begin their emotional healing process while learning coping tools to support their goals. I have worked with adults, adolescents and children and realize that everyone has different lived experiences, and that one type of therapy does not fit all. I work with clients who have experienced depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress management, trauma, and abuse. It is my priority to provide a warm and safe environment for clients to begin their healing journey.

Do you find yourself violating your personal and/or professional integrity? Do you react to situations either with agitation, aggression or avoidance? Whether you suffer from anxiety, CPTSD, PTSD, depression or struggling with daily life stressors the symptoms can be overwhelming.

"For real change to take place, the body needs to learn that the danger has passed and to live in the reality of the moment" Bessel van der Kolk

You realize you need help, but you’re not sure you or your kid is the sit-on-a-couch-and-talk-about-it type? Are you looking for results, change, and relief? Something different? Something worthwhile? If you’re struggling with explosive behaviors, arguments, aggression, extreme fears, attachment challenges, birth or medical trauma, nightmares, or flashbacks, I can help. The pain of depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, or social and academic pressure can be unbearable. If you have no idea how you found yourself here or know exactly what this is the result of, I'm confident that we can uncover strengths and come out the other side.

My goal is for therapy to be a collaborative process to facilitate change, and I use an integrative approach to help clients explore and achieve their desired goals. I advocate for therapy to be a safe space for clients to come as they are, process their experiences, and promote personal growth. I value authenticity and meet clients where they are at while gently challenging them to make shifts for forward progress. I have a passion for working with healthcare workers, first responders, service members and dependents, college students and young adults, and high achievers, but I enjoy working with adults of all ages and backgrounds.

Why am I a therapist? There are many reasons I am in this field. The initial draw was curiosity about people. I find people fascinating, each person has their own story, their own journey, their own struggles, and their own triumphs. I find it to be a humbling experience that a person I am working with in therapy is willing to trust me with the intimate details of the things they are seeking help for. I remain cognizant of the courage it takes to seek therapy, to seek recovery, to work on making changes. The resiliency that people are capable of never ceases to amaze me.

My work is to the point and focused on the issues that cause my clients the most distress. I work with kids, teens, and adults using evidence-based theoretical models that are backed by research and my years of experience, such as CBT and DBT. My friends, family, and work colleagues describe me as easy to get along with and dedicated. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which are proven methods to help my clients understand why they think and react the way they do. Then I help them to adjust the unhelpful thoughts to achieve more effective thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

I've always believed that my own life's journey and experiences have uniquely prepared me in my desire to help others. I am passionate about working with survivors of trauma. I believe each of us has within us, the ability to heal and grow from any difficulty life hands us. Sometimes we just need the guidance of a caring and competent therapist to carry us through. We all desire to feel safe, seen, and supported when we are our most vulnerable selves. My hope is to provide this kind of therapeutic alliance with my clients. One where the client knows best and I am but a trusted ally on their journey toward better health.
