Everyone faces difficulties in life. These difficulties can be experienced as disappointment, challenge, adversity, or trauma. People cope with their struggles the best that they can with the resources they have available. When these difficult situations cause a person to have problems functioning, attaining their goals, or feeling satisfied with their life it can be helpful to work with a professional mental health therapist. This can help by having someone to talk with about their difficulties, especially if it is something traumatic that they struggle to share with other people in their life.

Hello and thank yourself for taking the first step toward healing and becoming whole! Working with trauma and the past is an incredible passion of mine. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), which allows me to help get to the root of issues for clients instead of just tackling surface symptoms. I take the belief that many issues stem from our younger years, which is why working to resolve these wounds lets us form a more healthy functional adult self. I truly believe in our capabilities and think we are all so much stronger than we think.

You just made the first step toward making a change in your life! Throughout our lives, we experience emotions such as anxiety, anger, sorrow, shame, depression, or worthlessness. Often they are the result of the loss of a loved one, unresolved conflict (at home, on the job &/or within oneself), trauma, loneliness or isolation. I believe that what we perceive as problems are really opportunities to make lasting improvements in ourselves and to become more fully human. Life is a series of transitions; we are all a work in progress, and can often benefit from help along the way.

I am so glad you are here! It’s often the most caring people who forget to care for themselves. Allowing yourself the time and space to attend to your needs is one of the greatest acts of love you can do for yourself and those in your life. I would love the opportunity to be a part of your journey as I have extensive experience working with young adults from many different backgrounds. My goal in our work together is to provide a safe, trauma-informed, and social justice-aligned space.

I think it's important to acknowledge that we all struggle, but sometimes that struggle gets to be more often or more overwhelming than we know how to handle and we can benefit from an additional source of support, understanding and obtain some resources and skills that can help reduce our distress. We can work together to improve your ability to cope with daily life stressors or major life events with individual or family counseling. I have over 14 years experience working with adults, adolescents and children struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and other difficult situations.
