I am trained in Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP), grief, and Internal Family Systems Theory ( IFS).
Grief and trauma. When experienced, these can define us. But it doesn’t have to be that way. People are also shaped by their families and culture, their experiences, and the stories they create about themselves. I too have experienced grief and trauma and through our work together, I will help you find your voice and create a new narrative – one of empowerment and self-acceptance.

Therapy isn't mysterious. It's a conversation that helps you create clarity about your feelings, what you really need or want, and how to get there. My photo shows me years ago enjoying a hike in Yellowstone. I also enjoy my clients. It is refreshing to provide a comfortable place for you to express your true feelings, to problem-solve and clarify your thinking. It is OK to seek help. Emotional overload happens to everyone. Your problem doesn't define your value. Imagine newborn babies. They are all equal and valuable. Self-limiting beliefs are "learned" later. It is an essential understanding that your true self is perfect.

I actively encourage people to unearth their inner creativity and nurture that vibrant spark within. Recognizing that creativity and self-expression are integral to my approach, I believe in harnessing creative coping mechanisms that are accessible in our day-to-day lives.

Sometimes in life we may feel “stuck” and unsure how to move, overwhelmed, or alone. We may experience depression or anxiety, go through an experience that leaves us shaken, or hit the end of our rope and burnout. For some of us, we reach a place in life where we lose touch with ourselves or perhaps even come to a crossroads where we have a drastic shift in our understanding of the world and question all that we have known. It is in these times where we may be looking for extra support and need a calm, compassionate space to be seen…

A traumatic experience is like an injury and can have a long-lasting effect and impact on the way you perceive and interact with the world. Individuals experiencing trauma may have difficulty regulating emotions such as anger, anxiety, and sadness and easily feel overwhelmed, numb, and shut down. Trauma not only affects our relationship with ourselves but also impacts our relationship with others. I am also a TFMR Mom who had a Stillbirth. I am passionate about serving other parents who have experienced TFMR, Stillbirth, and Child loss at any point. The grief that accompanies this loss is tremendous and isolating. I am here to help.
