It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life, and it takes courage to heal from past hurt and trauma. I am here to help with that journey. From the first steps towards growth, I am here to help. I am an experienced professional Psychotherapist trained in Brainspotting Phase 2, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I assist all of my client's breakthrough into whole new levels of performing, healing, and wellbeing.

My theoretical framework is deeply rooted in the principles of client-centered therapy, providing clients with a warm, collaborative, and purposeful environment characterized by empathy, understanding, and acceptance. As a therapist, it is my duty to meet client’s where they are at by structuring interventions that are supportive to the needs and experiences of each client. My stance is always strength-based and will build upon what a client is already doing well, in order to cultivate advancement towards therapy goals.

As a mental health counselor, my passion lies in guiding individuals through their darkest moments to help them find the light within themselves. I believe that every person can heal and grow, and I am committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their emotions and experiences. I approach therapy holistically, considering everyone’s unique background, experiences, and goals. By integrating various therapeutic techniques such as psychodynamics, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy, I tailor my approach to best meet the needs of each client.

Trauma is any adverse experience that causes extreme emotional reaction: nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety etc. When meeting with me many reach their destination feeling guilty for their response to their unique experience — because its “less than” others. As we begin the journey to health and recovery, I assure all that their individual experience is different and unique. Our goal is to get to the point where you know that your feelings/emotions are not better or worse than another’s, as all individuals have a right to their feelings. No trauma is better, worse, harder or easier than another because it depends on how we react.

I am compassionate, understanding, and supportive. I care deeply about others and the struggles life brings. I believe every person has the ability to make positive changes in their life. I provide effective counseling to families, couples, and individuals that will encourage life changes in many ways.

If life is a struggle and you feel like it is getting harder for you to do things you used to enjoy, I would love to help you get where you want to be. You deserve to be happy and live the life you are meant to live. Sometimes we may need someone to help us travel our path through life and walk with us. If you are anxious, depressed or wondering how you will ever get through your emotional storm, call me and I will ride the wave with you. You are worth the best I can give. The purpose of my life is to help you find meaning and purpose in yours. Your life is your story. Write well. Edit often.

My journey to becoming a therapist started after returning home from a combat deployment, experiencing a devastating divorce and years of readjustment difficulties. During these deeply personal experiences, I became aware of the hurt and the brokenness we all face and now have a deep desire to help others to overcome as I did. I am passionate about helping couples find reconciliation and negotiating relationship pitfalls. As well as working with clients to heal from past trauma, manage their anxiety/depression, regulate anger or learn to value themselves again. You don't have to face it alone, there is hope.

Do you compare yourself to other moms at social events and feel as though they have it all together and you do not? Maybe your ‘mom guilt’ runs your life to a point where you feel like you will never be enough for your family? All that self-judgment and social comparison leads to racing thoughts, lack of sleep, excessive worry and panic. Maybe you tried medication, only to find that you feel worse. Yet each day you push forward and find yourself on Pinterest trying to do things better than the next mom. How are you supposed to feel happy, content and confident when you spend your time trying to be someone else?

Addiction and mental health recovery is an active process, and I understand the process. If you are seeking a life of peace and happiness; of successes and reaching goals, I will be your guide.
