If you're feeling the pressure of challenging times, you're not alone. Many are struggling to manage the symptoms associated with chronic stress and chronic loneliness alongside anxiety and depression rooted in an unpredictable future. Perhaps you find it difficult to connect with others or have the relationships you want, or struggle to feel worthy of love. Understanding what contributes to your suffering and what you can do about it can lead to better awareness and gives us opportunities to break the cycles that keep us from our goals, who we want to be, and where we want to go in life.

I invite you to a better second half of your life than the first half was. My specialties? Healing childhood abuse, couples, & brain injury. So often we settle for less—I invite you to a life full of more. Our lives are stories that intersect with those around us. Who we are, our relationship patterns, careers, & how we navigate life's events are rooted in our formational experiences. In a kind and conversational style, I invite you to step into the earth of those places. By walking barefoot through the dirt of your deepest heartache and how you were (and are) shaped by it, you will find that you return to your truest self.

Focusing on harm reduction, healthy coping skills, and recovery to live the best possible life.

I work with adults struggling with relationship issues, addiction, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Many of my clients have had difficult childhoods and are curious how therapy can help to reduce their suffering, heal from past traumas, and learn healthier ways of attachment. I use elements of EMDR therapy in my approach. I am kink allied and sex positive. I invite you to come as you are. I will respect, support, and encourage you during our time in therapy.

Connection is critical to our well-being, as are the experiences of feeling seen, understood and valued for who we truly are. My role is to help create an environment in which you experience these things, from which I can offer individualized therapy based on your specific problems and goals.

Change, though necessary and unavoidable, is never easy. Though our resistance to change is a normal reaction I believe that these moments of our life can be an opportunity to see ourselves and our world in a new and more inclusive way. It continues to be my great privilege to support my clients through these transitions.

I value direct communication, as well as humor, to build trust in the therapy relationship. I look forward to talking to you to see if we might be a good fit.

Its my belief we have a Creator who designed us with the amazing ability to heal from wounds we gather in the unfair and often painful world. Just as we have an amazing immune system to heal physically we were created to heal emotionally given the right tools and supports. It takes courage to share ones challenges as we move through anxiety, grief, trauma. My desire is to make counseling as comforting as possible and create a safe, encouraging and therapeutic relationship that allows for healing. Sometimes all it takes as learning new information and skills from someone who is non-judgmental and really listens.

— Accepting new clients — My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your needs. Healing is not a linear journey, my hope is for us to work collaboratively to find the path that works for you. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to the healing process. I am eclectic in my approach, utilizing evidence-based practices and our own curiosity to explore the challenges you are facing.
