Imagine a life where feeling overwhelmed and stuck in a funk, repeating the same self defeating thoughts and behaviors is a part of your past. You now live a life of authenticity and purpose. You are no longer on auto-pilot, just trying to get through the day. You have moved through intense emotional experiences and now confidently embrace the present with the tools to handle what comes your way. Trauma may be a part of your journey but is is not your destination. You accept emotions and are present fully for yourself, your loved ones and live your values.

Sometimes, distressing thoughts, memories, and moods can leave us feeling misunderstood and trapped in repetitive cycles. Each day might feel like a continuation of the last, with no end in sight. When words fall short and traditional talk therapy feels insufficient, art can bridge that gap and help express what seems inexpressible. If you’ve experienced abuse, violence, or trauma and are seeking a path to healing, you are not alone. There is a way forward.

Have you experienced trauma that you feel is currently impacting your life? Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, or stressful life transitions? Maybe your past trauma is affecting your relationships. You are not alone, and your response to trauma is nothing to be ashamed of.

My goal is to help you discover the root causes of your mental health concerns in order to regain control of your life. I am currently accepting clients age 18 and older for individual or couples counseling.

I understand the importance of creating a welcoming, safe and non-judgmental environment for the people that I serve.

My goal is to encourage my clients to explore and deepen their understanding of the issues most affecting their lives and assist them in developing tools needed to overcome the challenges they face.

Perhaps you're at a crossroads, struggling through a transitional life stage, battling to overachieve & succeed, while also beating yourself up about every thing. My clients often look like young adult professionals, new mothers, and women struggling in their romantic relationships.

From the outside everything may "look fine" while inside they are battling to keep their heads above water. If you see yourself in any of these scenarios please reach out and let's talk!

If I’m being honest, people come here to peek around and decide if you want to take the next steps to having a consultation. For the most part friends and family tell you “ just be strong-fight through it”- and you’re not use to talking about the things that bother you because you’ve spent so many years trying to avoid that fact that they even exist. But avoidance gets exhausting and doesn’t help you feel less overwhelmed or full.
