I have had numerous trauma trainings and am a Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapist.
Anxiety, shame, depression, substance use, and relationship stress are some of the most common impacts of trauma. Whether this came from childhood abuse or neglect or a traumatic event in your adult life, you may be left feeling insecure, sad, fearful, angry, unloved, and unworthy. You may feel there is no one who would understand or who could help you. I want you to know that you are not alone and there is help available! I would be honored to come along side you during your journey to find peace and healing. I will provide a compassionate, empathetic space to listen to your story. Every story matters!

I currently work with adults and seniors of all ages facing issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and difficult personal relationships.
Counseling therapy is a partnership and a trust. Many people come to a place in their lives where they feel stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress or trauma. They may be struggling in a relationship, or troubled by events of the past and wondering how to forgive or find reconciliation. It can feel difficult to reach out, but most people discover how helpful it is to work with an experienced guide for their mental health journey. Together we can learn how to manage the challenges life throws at you.
