Life can feel like a struggle sometimes. We may have had negative experiences, and may find ourselves stuck in certain patterns or ways of reacting. As a therapist my goals are to explore and validate my clients’ experiences, help them better understand where our patterns come from and help to empower my clients to find new ways to move forward.

Being human is hard! I believe most of people are doing the best we can with the awareness that they currently have, and also know that things can be easier and you can feel better. We must learn to attend to our own internal experiences so we may safely connect with ourselves, others and build a healthy support system from the inside out. I’m passionate about providing a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore dysfunctional patterns that are causing pain, increasing stress, and taking away from true happiness. You must be and create the change you want to see, and I am here to help you, your family, and your child reach their goals.

I have a trauma focused practice that supports individuals in healing from trauma (both big and small) and becoming their most authentic and powerful self.
Hello and Welcome. Would you like help finding your way to a more peaceful, balanced, and joyful experience in life? I am available to help you. Often the past interferes with the present day by triggering anxiety, fear, panic, sadness, depression, anger, or a sense of numbness. Our sense of well-being falls apart when we experience these feelings on a daily basis. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or that you fall short of your potential in many areas. Relationships can feel tense, dissatisfying, or dysfunctional. I am compassionate and skilled in helping people find relief from the things that keep them from thriving in life.

Have you experienced a trauma in your life which you are finding to be difficult to cope with? Are you noticing your past wounds are impacting who you are today? Moving forward after a traumatic event can be difficult. I aim to provide my clients with a secure and accepting environment. My ideal client would come to session ready to process difficult things while they curl up on my couch and feel at home in my office space. Although I have seen clients of all ages and diagnoses, I feel the most comfortable with teen and adult aged clients who are currently experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression/grief, or binge eating disorder.

I am fully trained and experienced in both EMDR and TFCBT ( Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
Welcome to my practice! You inspire me! It takes a great deal of courage to reach out and ask for help and I admire that! Sometimes our expected life path shifts and it can feel extremely overwhelming to find our footing and get back on track to living the life we deserve. My blended therapeutic approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness can help you do just that. I strongly believe that in order to make meaningful changes in our lives, we have to get to the core beliefs (both about the self and about the world we live in) that are driving our behaviors.

I enjoy working with all ages, and have extensive experience helping clients who have experienced trauma and anxiety. I love helping children who are in foster care and/or who have been adopted, and also with adults who have experienced a traumatic childhood. It is very satisfying to watch someone overcome the obstacles that have kept them from enjoying life and reaching their highest potential.

When helping clients process past traumatic experiences, I utilize a trauma focused psychotherapy approach that may include EMDR, DBT, and elements from CPT.
Many individuals are confronted at certain times in their life with a set of challenges and difficulties that seem insurmountable or overwhelming. Others are seeking guidance or insight in how to rediscover a sense of direction or purpose in their lives. Seeking out help is an act of courage and self-validation. Stop putting it off.
