Trauma can completely disrupt our lives, leaving us feeling a multitude of emotions. It gets physically stuck in our bodies, creating anxiety, depression, and dissociation. I am passionate about helping individuals work through their experienced trauma and discover their authentic selves. I am also passionate about working within the LGBTQIA community with challenges related to gender and sexual orientation, and neurodivergent individuals with ADHD, social anxiety, BPD, OCD, sensory processing and bipolar disorder. My goal is to provide a culturally sensitive, non-judgmental space for you to explore all of the various parts of you.

On the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all figured out, but beneath the surface, it's getting harder and harder to keep things together. You have dreams of the life that could be, but worry, stress, and self-criticism hold you back. You do so much for your career and your relationships, but always wonder if it’s enough. You wonder if YOU are enough. You’ve probably said to yourself, “I don’t NEED therapy, but…”, or “I should be able to deal with this on my own.” Let me assure you that whatever you’re going through, not only is it okay to ask for help, but it just may be the best step you can take toward living your best life!

My role as a therapist is to listen, diagnose, and present coping skills and therapeutic techniques. You will be asked to apply these skills to the best of your ability, giving you hope for an improved quality of life. The therapy model I use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). You will be encouraged to take an active part in your treatment plan. Honesty, trust, patience, and committment are the basics for building a therapeutic relationship with positive results.

With grace, and humor, we'll work with you to address challenges impacting your health, happiness, and relationships with others. It's our philosophy that whatever affects our emotional health (isolation, depression, anxiety, trauma) will affect our physical well-being (appetite, sleep, weight gain). Not too many people enjoy change and these past few years have been nothing but a roller coaster! I'd enjoy the opportunity to talk with you and understand how you're doing. How have you been affected by changes? Is BreakThrough! right for you?
