Accepting New Patients!!! Madeline Albright said, "It took a long time for me to develop a voice and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent." If you are looking to develop your voice and sense of self while overcoming the pain of trauma, I am here to help. Many times, we as women don't use our voice for fear of not being believed, heard, or understood. We keep our pain inside, and it's not healthy.

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.

You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.
