Do people ask how you are doing and the answer is always “fine” or “ok”? Or maybe you avoid letting yourself feel uncomfortable emotions? Possibly putting off facing them until you feel more ready, but that day never comes? Depression, anxiety, and trauma can do that to us. They can change our trajectory in life, veer us off course of who we were meant to be. Shadows from the past can loom over us forever. If this is your experience, my sincerest hope is one day you will feel ready to no longer allow your past to place limits on the future. With my 14 years of experience in the field, my goal is to promote a safe space for us to fully understand your experience. Using a nonjudgmental approach, we will explore the ways you want to feel, what's standing in the way, and how to get you where you want to be. It takes courage to choose you, to take the time and do the work to invest in yourself. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. It is brave to share yourself with a stranger. I'd be honored for the opportunity to share your journey and together figure out how to get closer to the life you were meant to live. A life with purpose and fulfillment. You deserve a sense of passion and a life of worth. You deserve a life without limits.

Hi there! I am SO glad that you are here. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma that was experienced either in childhood or later in life, and the numerous things that often follow. For some individuals this looks like healing shame, anxiety, depression, grief, difficulty with connection or attachment in relationships, struggles with intimacy or trust, addictions or compulsive behaviors, disordered eating, and a multitude of other things. I believe healing occurs best in supported connection. I work to create a safe space where you feel comfortable examining beliefs and behaviors that may no longer serve you and begin the process of healing. I’ve been where you are. I know the struggles of feeling stuck and overwhelmed as well as the joy and light that can exist on the other side. I take a collaborative approach to the counseling relationship and am in no way a "sit-and-nod" therapist! I believe fully that YOU are the expert on your life and my hope is to help guide your journey to healing and growth while promoting your autonomy and power of choice.

Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, or are just going through a rough time, there are a variety of strategies we can use to get you back to enjoying life.

I've spent my life searching. And in that quest I have explored my own struggles in life, battled my demons, and have experienced both the joys and the hardships that life so often delivers. It was my own questioning that led me to become a therapist; I want to dig deeper, I want to know more, and I want to help others on their journey as well. I have fought the battle of addiction and have come to know the freedom of recovery. I also understand the complexities of relationships and how they affect our sense of being connected. I utilize Dialectal Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy and have completed extensive trainings in Brainspotting Trauma Care, DBT for Adolescents, Attachment Theory for couples and relationships, and offer Intervention Services worldwide. I specialize in substance use disorders and how they effect the entire family, but also work with a variety of relational and emotional issues. I believe we all possess the potential to lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives... sometimes we just need a little guidance out of the darkness and back into the light.
