I have 17 years of counseling experience and earned my masters degree in 2013. I have most of my experience in substance abuse treatment as well as depression and anxiety disorders. I love being able to provide a listening ear and give back to those who want to be heard.

While my experiences have been diverse, my clinical interests are in trauma, dissociative disorders, Dissociative Identity Disorder, ritualized abuse (including Mind Control), relationship issues, cultural diversity and the impact of oppression, as well as women’s and LGBTQIA issues.
I believe that each person holds within themselves everything they need to heal and grow in the ways they would like. I see the therapist's role as being one in which provides an environment of safety and care where the client can explore themselves authentically. It is through this authentic exploration, that the therapist can help the client discover how patterns and ways of being are keeping the client stuck and resulting in suffering. By bringing into awareness these aspects, the client and therapist can then work collaboratively to release the pain and explore new ways of being.

I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence.
Welcome! Have years of surviving left you feeling disconnected from your self, the world, and the people around you? Do you sometimes feel at odds with your own mind and body? My goal is to provide a therapeutic space where you feel seen, understood, and supported in charting your own path back to connection, embodiment, and healing. I offer a warm and gentle approach to therapy, blending trauma-specific modalities like EMDR with other models to create a personalized, collaborative care plan that supports your healing and recovery.

You want to live more freely, more wholly, more in touch with who you really are. You want to find your way to wholeness and freedom. You may be looking to share and explore things that have never felt safe to open up before. You may have tried and benefited from other kinds of therapy, and are interested now in treatment that is focused on real, embodied experience now, in the present, rather than endlessly re-telling the same stories. You may have realized how the past has affected you, and you would rather define yourself than being bound by it. You are ready above all to reclaim your own innate goodness, wholeness, and strength.

Welcome! Come on in, I’m glad you’re here. The challenges of life can be overwhelming; the past making the present feel like less of a gift. You may feel stuck, like it’s impossible to move forward. Life transitions have a way of stirring up emotions and throwing you off balance. This mounting weight can impact your relationships, work, social life, and everything around you. I want you to know that you don’t have to face all of this alone. Together we can create a plan to help you feel better and achieve the changes you are seeking. Here, you will have a safe place to learn and to grow to overcome the challenges you face.

I do not see my job as telling you what to do, but to help you quiet the noise that gets in the way of hearing your own voice. In our work together, you will find support and patience as you walk through whatever cross-roads life presents in front of you. You will have the freedom to explore yourself, your life and your experiences. I believe that everyone I work with is the expert on their own life so for this reason, I feel the best way to serve my clients is to work as a mirror; assisting people in transformation through reflection. Powerful healing and change occurs with the felt sense of being truly seen and heard.

I love this work, because people's lives are so interesting! When people run into a snag, I can help. Working with individuals, couples, & families, I look at both the immediate concerns, as well as the 'big picture' of where it fits into their lives.
Session one is a consultation opportunity to meet and learn a bit about each other. Do you feel comfortable with me as you tell me what's brought you here? As I listen, I think about how I can help. If it's a good match, we can make a plan for treatment.

Have you reviewed multiple write ups on Psychology Today looking for the right therapist? Do you feel confused because there are so many individuals listed that are willing and ready to help? The right "fit" is so important to me and I hope that you might consider my holistic and uplifting approach to treatment. I am so honored and humbled to help people on their path to healing and I strive to keep therapy relevant and comfortable. Most clients tell me, "You are not like any therapist that I have ever met before!". I always take this as a compliment.
