I like to consider myself a therapeutic guide for my clients. Through a variety of therapeutic techniques we will go on a journey wherein my clients will learn about themselves. Throughout this journey we will confront obstacles, overcome anxieties, conquer fears and face down issues that are everything from minor struggles to major life issues. I utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions so as never to be a "one size fits all" therapist. Every man, woman and child comes to therapy seeking inner peace, stability or just a safe space to talk. I like to think I can be that safe space for all of my clients.

Hi! I am a trauma therapist who goes beyond traditional talk therapy and cognitive interventions. Perhaps you are a self-aware person who just can't understand why it's so difficult to move on from certain things, or you're having reactions to things that just don't feel like the real you! I can help go to the heart of these issues to find what you need to still process or heal from. I treat trauma, including attachment trauma, sexual assault, witnessing domestic or community violence, and trauma of early childhood. I also treat clients who are experiencing guilt, shame, recurring negative cognitions, anxiety, and depression.

"People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are" -Carl Rogers I believe that if a person is given the appropriate environment and support they can become their best self. Together we can take a look inward and work toward developing and unlocking the best you. For years we often hold ourselves prisoner, allow me the privilege to assist with developing personal insight into past traumas and future successes. By developing the capacity to live in the moment, we tap into our 5 senses and allow ourselves to truly live in the moment free of our past or future.

Working in the mental health field since 2008, I have had the opportunity to work with a a great diversity of populations in a wide variety of settings. Each clinical encounter has helped shape my present practice. Over time, I have learned much about humans, our fundamental need for connection and understanding, and our great potential for healing and growth. I have cultivated a practice based on forming and maintaining therapeutic relationships that hold space and allow for important personal work to be done. Recently much of my work has been with adults in transitional states, including new parents and college students.

I specialize in working with adolescents but also had a long stint working with geriatric patients alongside a well-respected neuropsychiatrist in Texas. I've worked with substance addiction as a specialty in three states and have a long history of helping patients with childhood trauma. I have a general practice and work with issues such as anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA-related, and shame/low self-worth. My ideal client wants to change and is not afraid of doing a little homework between sessions.

I believe all of us have an infinite capacity to heal ourselves. Accessing that capacity is not always easy. Fear blocks our ability to think clearly and creatively and to act with confidence. When our fears are taken seriously and addressed completely with compassion and curiosity they relax and we are able to access the qualities within ourselves that give us the ability to face our challenges. I enjoy helping adults (18 to 80+), couples and families move from feeling stuck, frustrated, anxious, hopeless and overwhelmed to feeling confident in their ability to meet the the challenges of their lives.

NOT accepting new clients at this moment! I specialize in identity development in its many forms. This includes gender and sexual minority, religious/spiritual, and cultural identity. In addition, the big questions that we all face; the meaning of life, responsibility, our mortality and grief are areas that may be covered through our work. The ultimate goal in therapy is for you to achieve balance in your life and in yourself. This often begins with the management of symptoms that can range from depression, anxiety, phobias, or other forms of emotional instability that may interfere with healing on deeper, more sustainable, levels.
