We all experience difficult times. Keeping it together can be challenging and oftentimes working with a therapist is just what’s needed. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious and depressed, or you’ve been through a traumatic experience, therapy can help. If you're undergoing a major life change such as divorce, or faith transition, having someone you trust to talk with can make a big difference.

My therapeutic philosophy revolves around empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing process. I love supporting my clients in overcoming fear, anxiety, self-doubt, and other difficult barriers that can get in the way of living the life that they want. Learning to face our fears and address our traumas is some of the hardest and most important work that we can do, and I believe that we don't have to do that work alone. My goal is to help my clients reduce their suffering, increase their self-worth, and feel better equipped to handle the hardships that come and go throughout life.

I believe that we all have a deep well of wisdom within us and that as my therapy client, you have the ability within you to change your life.

I truly enjoy working with a wide variety of age groups and populations.

Just like our bodies can get bruised and broken so can our hearts, minds, emotions, and relationships.

Lately you’ve noticed you’re consumed with negative thoughts and painful feelings. A lot of your time is spent trying to numb and distract. It’s hard to find much meaning or value in life.

You are desperate to find ways to like yourself, handle upsetting situations and have more meaningful relationships. Therapy is an opportunity to dig into those uncomfortable places within you.

I believe our experiences often shape our behaviors and I love working with teens and adults to help them identify patterns resulting from past trauma and attachment wounds.

Are you experiencing the effects of trauma, or seeking ways to express grief and loss? I'm a dedicated practitioner of EMDR and other transformative healing modalities. Trauma can alter our lives profoundly, echoing into our adult years. While sometimes our minds and bodies can process these events independently, often, we need additional support to release and express this energy. Whether you're dealing with recent stressors or long-standing issues, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing. I believe deeply in the power of our innate inner wisdom—that each of us possesses everything necessary for our own healing.

I know that life gets hard sometimes. We all experience pain and suffering, and we all handle it differently. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions for me!

My ideal client would be someone who is a go getter, looking at improving their overall well-being, but can’t quite get there due to past trauma, past and current relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and inability to find balance in work/life/school. They find themselves having a hard time setting boundaries and seem to be people pleasers. Also working with those teens/adults who struggle with self worth, self confidence, and attachment issues.
