You know that saying “Never judge a book by its cover”? Well, I can honestly say that the cover of my book does not match the pages! The pages in my book of life have equipped me with the experience to connect with ALL people. In my book, I’ve encountered many conflicts. I’ve been the antagonist and the protagonist and I’m just in the rising action. Because my pages are not all filled with butterflies and sunshine, I’ve had to work to find ways to help equip myself with daily coping skills. I am happy to be in a position to share my experience with others through therapy and educational opportunities.

I work with adults of diverse and multicultural backgrounds to address concerns such as chronic anxiety and depression, self-esteem and relational challenges, self-alienation and shame, loss and unresolved grief, developmental/relational trauma, and adult-onset trauma. In my practice, I recognize the role of past and present relationships, strengths, values, and lived experiences in our sense of who we are and adaptive strategies developed along the way.

What happens in therapy? You feel heard, safe. You begin to even hear yourself in a non-judgmental, accepting way, become willing to confront self-destructive, sad, someone else's opinions, and ideas that you’ve been using to define yourself. And, you find some hope in the future. Once you begin the uncovering process, you start to unleash trauma’s chokehold it has on you. It occurs to you, “I have the freedom to just be happy.” My hope is that you can find me to be someone who will share with you, express, and help you recall all the humor, tragedy, the wonder, and the absurdity of living on your journey to take back your power.

Do you feel insecure in relationships, like your emotions are controlling you instead of you controlling them? Are feelings of anxiety, anger or rejection keeping you from healthy connection? If you find yourself repeating the same harmful patterns, or having the same arguments over and over no matter how hard you try, then it’s time for a change! You know you deserve better than what you’re allowing yourself to have, and you’re ready to start creating new patterns in your life, you're just not quite sure how to get it, and that's where I can help.

When we are in pain, we often hold a belief that we are broken. One of my goals as a therapist is to redefine broken and help my clients develop greater self-understanding and acceptance. Much of our emotional distress can result from feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Therapy can promote connection and personal growth by fostering healthy relationships, developing self-awareness, accepting unpleasant emotions, and cultivating a real sense of hope that we can turn our negative experiences into positive change and transformation.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by changes in your life as a midlife woman 40+ or carrying emotional weight that never seems to lift? Whether you're struggling with a tough transition, feeling stuck in your personal or work life, or having difficulties in your marriage, you don’t have to go through it alone. Big challenges like divorce, career changes, menopause, or stress can make it hard to find peace and balance. Perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, and unresolved trauma bonds can keep you trapped in cycles of emotional pain. You just want to feel calmer, more connected, and more at ease with yourself and others.

I specialize in working with clients that struggle with nervous system regulation due to trauma and focus on using "bottom-up" approaches such as Brainspotting, Polyvagal Theory, and The Safe & Sound Protocol.
Ever feel like this counseling thing just isn't for you? That traditional talk therapy just goes in circles with some progress but you end up in the same spot. You think, "Maybe I'm too broken." Getting stuck in anxiety, depression, defensiveness, disconnection, etc. can feel never-ending. Like we are always just trying to make it through life rather than fully experience it. Your brain and body is built to help you survive this world. So, when we have a history of trauma our brain and body learns to always be on alert for danger. You're not broken, just stuck in protection modes and your body can learn to find a sense of safety.
