Congratulations! You are taking the first step toward your journey of healing! I can only imagine that thoughts and feelings that have led to this choice. The challenges you face can seem overwhelming and hopeless. We face situations that seem out of control and hopeless, yet helping you identify your needs and working with you to develop healthy coping skills can help give you security you are looking for. Many times you may be afraid to share your thoughts and feeling for fear of being judged. No matter the choices you've made, we can work together to help you heal.

I provide therapy not only because I strive to support others, but because I believe therapy works. I admire the vulnerability and strength that go into the healing process. I know you have within you what it takes to heal, but that doesn't mean you have to do it alone. You deserve to feel safe enough in both your mind and body to fully engage in life.

If you, a loved one or child is feeling lonely, isolated, sad, depressed, worried, fearful or have trouble getting back into the groove of life after a change or trauma, EMDR therapy can help.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY: Carl Rogers once said, “It is only when I accept myself exactly as I am that I begin to change.” For twelve years I've helped individuals work through anxiety, depression, relationship stress and the “normal” transitions of life. I help my clients stop fighting their emotions and accept the job they have to do. I help peel away beliefs like, “I’m not enough, I can’t do it.” I help rebuild strong internal foundations that tend to mental health, relationships and engagement with the world. With individuals, I specialize in treating workplace traumatic stress for healthcare providers.

I work with adults who are seeking help with past traumatic events such as sexual assaults, car accidents, medical trauma, relationship traumas,life threatening diagnoses, major life changes. Also clients who may suffer from anxiety disorders or panic.

Maybe you've been hearing about stepping into "main-character energy" or becoming the hero/heroine of your own story. A voice nags, quietly but persistently, that life is passing you by or reminds you that you really "should" do that thing you've been meaning to do. You long to be in alignment with your core values and feel proud of the person your unique life's journey has shaped you into. Perhaps you'd simply like to be able to identify what your dream life looks like. Maybe the idea of becoming more attached to your growth than your suffering intrigues you, you're just not sure how one makes that shift. What's an author to do?

Whether you’ve been to counseling before or this is your first time reaching out growth is about being curious…and here you are…being curious. You’re one step closer to being where you want to be.
