Trauma is something that happened to you, but it doesn't have to become your identity. It can have a profound and lasting impact on every aspect of your life. From difficulties setting boundaries in relationships, at work or school, to everyday stress, trauma can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. By understanding the role that trauma has played in your life, we can start to address the ways it's affecting you today and begin to build a foundation for healing. "Healing Doesn't Mean The Damage Never Existed. It Means That The Damage No Longer Controls Our Lives."- David Kessler. I'm a trauma-focused therapist that works with adults ages 18-45. I look at the role that trauma and other negative events from your past play into how you're living life today. I also specialize in anxiety related to trauma & grief as well and use a combination of EMDR, CBT & other supportive therapies in session. Finding the right therapist isn't easy. You look to find someone who's authentic, kind, & relatable while hoping that their personality meshes with yours so that you can work together in a way that feels natural. That, along with providing a safe environment are my goals when working together. If you think we might be a good fit, feel free to reach out

On the outside, it looks as though you’re holding it all together. You have a good job, group of friends, and house to come home to. But on the inside you feel like you're failing, you’re using every ounce of energy trying to keep up appearances and you lay in bed at night wide awake with worry telling yourself you can't take another day like today. Nobody modeled or taught you how to make sense of and manage your emotions so they feel confusing and overwhelming when they occur. You've tried everything you can think of to help yourself through this, but you still feel like something's off and could use some extra support. View 3 Photos Feeling helpless, anxious, and lonely are normal responses to navigating uncharted waters. With me, you don’t have to be picture perfect and hold it all together. We can laugh, cry, dive into your fears, lean into the hard emotions, dispel the anxiety, and tap into the inner peace you’ve been longing for. I am an expert cheerleader, accountability partner, and heart holder. Therapy with me is more than "just listening" and isn't about giving you unwanted advice. I seek to establish an authentic and deep connection built on trust, safety, and compassion. I feel honored to support you during this tumultuous time and look forward to meeting you!

During challenging times like these, it can be hard to feel grounded and confident enough to take life by the reins and steer into the direction of wholeness. There are so many distractions that numb us out, and keep us from seeing patterns playing out in our relationships, how we are unintentionally harming ourselves, and what we are needing to live a more balanced and fulfilling life. In our work together, you will learn tools to gain insight into yourself, discover how your past informs your current life, and embody healthier, more authentic ways of showing up in the world. Do you yearn to deepen your relationships but have trouble trusting others? Are you ready to make a change but overwhelmed at the thought of where to even begin? Let me be your co-pilot as we navigate your way to a more sustainable way of life. I offer free 15-minute consultations to get a better sense of what you're coming in with to determine if I'm a good fit. Your healing is important to me, and even if we are not a good fit, I can help you find someone who is.

3/1/23 Not Accepting Clients - Therapy offers a space for people to feel seen, understood, and accepted for their experience without judgment. I begin this process by developing a collaborative, safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. At the heart of my approach lies my belief that a sense of authenticity, choice, and belonging allows people to live full and meaningful lives. I support individuals to arrive at their goals through a process of self-reflection to reveal unconscious beliefs, free oneself from unhelpful habitual patterns, repair past wounds, access innate potential for growth and enhance connections with others. I develop an integrative and tailored approach to help individuals recognize their inherent strengths and realize their desired outcomes through the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based and Compassion-Focused Therapies, DBT Skills, Attachment Work, EMDR, Psychedelic Integration, and Humanistic-Existential Theories. Discovering meaning, joy and fulfillment in life is possible. With acceptance, warmth, and curiosity, I invite you to create space for self-awareness, build emotional resilience, heal from trauma and strengthen relationships. Please contact me so that I may support your journey towards vitality and living well.

We travel the road with you, hope for the hopeful and hopeless! We bring authentic listening joined with the power of hope together. Have you heard of how to master tightrope walking? Do you know tightrope walkers are never actually standing still but constantly making fine tweaks in how they stand, so they can adjust themselves to stay balanced on the tightrope? In a world full of distractions, I have witnessed the power of storytelling as people process their past and ongoing experiences. My compassion is to be the support for people who desire to identify the little tweaks that they can make to stay balanced on the tightrope. Registered as a board-certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC), I believe that creativity and art-making help to communicate, explore, and connect within one’s self and with their environment. I specialized in individuals who have experienced trauma, including but not limited to interpersonal trauma, significant losses, and PTSD. I thrive to create a space that is safe and nonjudgmental for clients as they discover their genuine selves and create goals for being present with their loved ones.

I offer Individual Counseling specializing in trauma recovery, grief and loss, relationship issues, and personal empowerment. I am a Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapist. I completed the Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) training through the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute. I assist clients in re-learning to trust their inner compass and embrace their own capacity for growth and wellness. Part of that growth is in building relationship with themselves, and with others, to develop and or enhance intimacy, community, and connection. I believe past trauma is literally embodied. Mind, body, emotions, and spirit are inseparable, and eventually have to be addressed in trauma recovery. I find that alternative healing disciplines that work with the body and psyche combine synergistically with counseling to identify, explore, and resolve past experiences that block wellness. I believe when you are committed to growth and change, you can experience a renewed sense of empowerment; a joy and verve in living everyday; a reconnection to your authentic voice; a groundedness and a willingness to take up space and live your life more fully.

The client-therapist rapport is a potent common factor in therapy success. You want to feel comfortable opening up and sharing your truths. Have you found yourself struggling with a change in your life that has left you feeling uncomfortable with your current emotional state. I offer a place to clear your head, organize your thoughts, and express your feelings without judgement. Give yourself permission to pause, process and then progress. I take pride in helping clients who may be struggling to find balance, purpose and a sense of normalcy again. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with relationship issues, self -esteem, sexual orientation, acculturating, "adulting", or who find themselves in transition. For many of us asking for help can be daunting; especially if we are the ones that everyone else comes to for help. I want you to know that it's okay for you to need help too. It doesn't make you less of a leader, friend, mother, father, wife, son or daughter; It makes you human. I invite you to make yourself a priority and take care of you.
