Everyone needs help at times, and that’s okay. I have several years experience working with individuals dealing with chronic anxiety, chronic depression, complex trauma, and issues related to neurodiversity. I’ve worked with girls at the end of high school transitioning to college, as well as adults of multiple genders. I also have many years working with children in different settings, many of whom dealt with multiple diagnoses. Some of these issues include ADHD, OCD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I know that change is possible and enjoy helping my clients find this hope within themselves. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is an important partnership in helping individuals change. I like working with clients who are struggling to navigate the stressors of life, and have difficulty coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, and addiction. In addition, I have experience working with individuals who struggle with eating disorders and personality disorders. I also enjoy providing couples therapy and working with individuals of all ages.

People experiencing depression, anxiety and trauma / PTSD can have a range of painful experiences. Day to day, chronic irritability can wear on your nerves, damage your relationships, and drive your stress level sky high. Are you on edge as soon as you start getting ready for the day, feeling sensitive, reactive or foggy even though the sun has barely come up? And when the day is done you want to relax but this is when your heart starts to pound in your chest? None of your coping skills seem to help enough-if you can muster the strength and time to use them. This is the reality of depression, anxiety and trauma.

We all experience difficult challenges that impact our ability to manage how we think, feel, and behave. My focus is to help you heal and move forward with your goals. While we can’t change things in the past, we can work together to better understand, manage, and gain over-all peace in our lives. My approach is warm and collaborative. I have found that most people enjoy the therapeutic process as it challenges them to make the changes they want to make. With a healthy therapeutic relationship, this allows you to be vulnerable and receive unconditional positive regard to address your goals.

We were never meant to suffer alone. I believe that change happens when we connect to others by sharing our pain. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, body image issues, and major life transitions.

Do you pretend everything is okay but inside your thoughts are spiraling and it feels like you’re barely holding things together? Do you exhaust yourself trying to get everything right and taking care of everyone else? The thought of saying no or someone being upset with you may leave you feeling panicked and anxious. You are probably tired of analyzing conversations and guessing what people think about you. You don't want to be in survival mode anymore. You want to feel more in control and feel okay being you. You want to know you'll be okay even when things are hard. You're in the right place.

I specialize in trauma, domestic abuse and addiction. I also help clients that struggle with depression, anxiety, relational issues and interpersonal struggles. I use a comprehensive, integrative approach to healing (EMDR) as well as CBT, DBT and Mindful practices.EMDR is a systematic process of healing that promotes emotional stability by helping to free the mind from past thoughts, memories and behaviors that are present in daily life. The mindful approach to emotional healing works through conscious change in perspective. Being consciously aware of unconscious thoughts helps in the process of change. This mindful practice changes how you view yourself and the world around you.

My passion is to connect with kids that is more natural and comfortable. It can be hard and uncomfortable for kids to "talk" about personal and difficult emotions. Because of this, my focus is on utilizing expressive therapies to help children sort through and process emotions and events through art, playing games, structured and unstructured play, etc. all while helping them to identify their own strengths, how to use those strengths to overcome the challenges they are facing, and work toward an optimistic future!

I have spent most of my time in the social work field working with children in the foster care system. I have seen the highs and the lows that come from those children in foster care and broken homes. I have worked hard to do all I can to help them feel safe in secure in their living environments. I enjoy working with both children and their parents to heal and become a better family unit. I also have experience in working with those who are on hospice and nearing the end of life, and helping families through the grieving process.
