Others may tell you all the time how great your life must be and how you always seem to have it together, but deep down, you know this could not be further from the truth. Every day, you feel like you are carrying a huge secret and feel pressure to be someone you are not. You look in the mirror and don't recognize who you see. You feel out of place and like you don't belong anywhere. This is exhausting and you don't have anything left to give. You don't have to pretend anymore.

You're doing all of the things that should make you feel happy, whole and healthy, yet, you just can't get it together. You're still disconnected from yourself. You're haunted by loneliness. And you're constantly overwhelmed by your emotions. We get it! It's nearly impossible to stay present, to live and love fully when no one has ever shown you how. If you ever felt abandoned or unloved by the adults who raised you, that leaves a void that anyone would want to numb. Come work with us. We will help you heal your childhood trauma, master your emotions, and create the relationships you never thought were possible.

Do people ask how you are doing and the answer is always “fine” or “ok”? Or maybe you avoid letting yourself feel uncomfortable emotions? Possibly putting off facing them until you feel more ready, but that day never comes? Depression, anxiety, and trauma can do that to us. They can change our trajectory in life, veer us off course of who we were meant to be. Shadows from the past can loom over us forever. If this is your experience, my sincerest hope is one day you will feel ready to no longer allow your past to place limits on the future.

What could your life be without the shame and guilt of childhood trauma? You are struggling to feel worthy of love. You are uncertain of how to give it and often wondering if you will ever find a relationship that just feels good. I get it. It is so difficult to surround yourself with love in adulthood when the people who raised you didn't do so for you in childhood. Come and work with me. I'll help you heal your inner child and break cycles of intergenerational trauma, so that you can build a life and relationships that you will love.

With over 25 years experience as a therapist, I understand the importance of finding a welcoming space for therapy. Often people cope with stress in ways that can cause long-term problems. Whether you struggle with instability in your relationships, have mood swings, or addiction issues, therapy can help you learn more effective ways of coping, allowing you to be more effective and reduce suffering in your life. I specialize in treating individuals with various mental health concerns, including borderline personality disorder (BPD), addiction, LGBTQIA+ related issues, depression, OCT, trauma, and/or anxiety.

You pour your morning coffee and stare off. "This is fine," you tell yourself. But this is not fine. Life feels like a gigantic dumpster fire. You're not alone: I've been there, too. Your story is sacred and deserves to be heard, held, and believed. For 7 years, I have supported teens and adults with childhood wounds, grief, religious trauma, or sexual assault in creating more confidence, balance, and comfort in their lives. I especially enjoy working with folks who are exploring their sexuality or questioning their spiritual beliefs, but these are not necessary for us to work together.

Are you looking for a unique and creative way to process life's challenges? Do you often have difficulty matching words to your feelings leading to low engagement in traditional talk therapy? I can help you reach your goals through art making that encourages both a creative and transformative therapeutic experience. I have worked extensively with teens and adults with histories of trauma, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, work burnout, and LGBTQ+ identities. I also work with therapists to provide them with a creative approach different from their own.
