We find true heroism in seemingly ordinary everyday life. These heroics might look like getting cut off in traffic and keeping your cool, finding the courage to ask your boss for a raise, or deciding to bravely take your life in a new direction. The road to becoming the hero of your own story stems from finding the balance between being accountable for what is in your control and accepting what is outside of your control.

I specialize in working with clients who have experienced childhood trauma, domestic/intimate partner violence or relationship challenges, chronic pain/illness, and substance use issues. I also appreciate the beautiful tangents, metaphors, and insights from my work with neurodiverse clients. Much of my work focused on helping clients examine how trauma has shaped their lives, decisions, & current circumstances and find ways to heal. Finding meaning and insight from the connections and patterns we can see in the past and present is key to informing the work we can do together to pursue a more intentional and satisfying future.

You are a complex and nuanced human, designed for wholeness, beauty and truth. However, few of us experience this freedom. Suffering in the world is real and you have your own story and experience with it. You have questions, fears, and anxieties about today and tomorrow. You have grief, shame, pain, and loss from your past. Your pain is real, your losses hurt, even when they don’t make sense. And, if you’re like the majority of people, you likely have nobody who knows your pain or will walk through the depths of it with you. We want to hold your burden and suffering with you as you look into your life and its brokenness.

Life is complicated and it can get heavy and messy. It feels like things have been turned upside down. Some situations feel like a funhouse mirror and you want out of the funhouse but you don’t know how to find the exit. Life's tasks fall to the side. Your social life feels confusing. Hobbies feel meaningless. Self-care can be difficult. Friends and family offer their support, but their well-intentioned help doesn't always land the way you need it to. No one seems to understand what you’re going through. It's like a two-ton boulder is blocking your path. All you want to do is hide, but you know that's not who you are at your core.

Throughout a woman’s life there are many emotional shifts and it takes strength to reach out for support. I understand the many challenges and stress that sometimes might have you not feeling like yourself. Do you feel alone, anxious, tired, sad, angry, irritable, or stressed? I work with women who are experiencing anxiety, depressed mood, grief and loss, fertility, miscarriage, transition to motherhood, and other life changing events. I have specialized training in anxiety, maternal mental health (pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood), child development, and eating disorders.

Every day life can be challenging and sometimes hard to navigate on our own. As your advocate and partner, I will actively support you as you learn to work through challenges more effectively, and improve your overall sense of well-being. I am passionate about my work as a therapist and I am deeply committed to helping people make positive changes in their lives. You deserve to be seen, heard, and given a space to authentically express yourself. I am here to help you create healthy boundaries, improve communication skills, and build resilience.

The core focus of my therapeutic intervention is a holistic approach based on a simple word, 'accountability.' Accountability is key in making necessary and beneficial changes in your life. In therapy we will explore your presenting problems, past hurts, traumas and relationships. How a client feels is essential, however how a client takes responsibility to change their behaviors is key. Even though this may sound great, being held accountable can be challenging, tough and even frightening. However, in the end, you will see the benefits of holding your own self accountable by working through hurts and pains... EMPOWERING!

Are you feeling lost, hopeless, helpless, stuck or just nothing at all? Are the inevitable responsibilities of the day-to-day or issues in communication/relationship dysfunction overwhelming and you can’t seem to find your way through? Regardless of what your experience is or what it has been, I would love an opportunity to meet you where you are, and work with you to get where you want to be.

We truly understand how much courage, humility, and honesty it takes to seek counseling. It's not easy. However, you are capable. If therapy is not an option, you MUST find something productive that will help you work through your issues. Give therapy a try, and if at first, you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again.

I believe in time; everyone can transform their life into one that is filled with meaning and purpose. When faced with unfavorable or traumatic life experiences, these events change our perception of self, the world and challenge our growth. I seek to empower my clients to recognize their strengths and utilize their naturally acquired resilience to change the narratives governing their lives to facilitate transformation and healing. I am an empathetic, compassionate and human clinician. This quality makes it easy for me to provide a safe space for my clients to share themselves vulnerably and authentically without feeling judged.
