At Guiding Steps Psychotherapy, our mission is to help people heal from trauma and other adverse life experiences, anxiety, and depression. We work with survivors of sexual abuse/assault, those who have experienced traumatic loss from death or infidelity, individuals suffering from addiction, and others working through traumatic adjustments such as loss of a job or severe illness. I also counsel couples working to improve their relationships, those discerning their futures, and others contemplating separation or divorce.

I believe everyone has the innate capacity to heal, and approach therapy as a way of counteracting the influence of systems of oppression that can stand in the way of self-acceptance, embodiment, and connecting with others. I work with a variety of challenges to connection and wellbeing, including anxiety, self-worth, interpersonal relationships, gender and sexuality, trauma (CPTSD, intergenerational, identity-related), and integrating difficult emotions.

Life can be difficult, stressful and scary-events happen that we cannot control or predict or perhaps you have an overall unhappiness with the current state of your life and ready for change and growth. Anxiety seems to pop up at random, yet anxiety always has a cause and I will teach you how to control the anxiety. Depression can pull you down and keep you from living your fullest life, we will look inward at patterns and blocks to living your happiest life. Unresolved trauma continues to show up in the present until it is fully processed and released. Whether you relate to one or all of the above we will work from where you are.

I specialize using a mindfulness method called Recreation of the Self (RCS) created by Jon Eisman. RCS is about awakening and liberation. You have an innate, unbroken, whole, Organic Self which holds the blueprint for your life. The wounding you experienced caused pain, overwhelm, and confusion and you fragmented your consciousness into many trance-like wounded states of consciousness to deal with this, separating yourself from your natural organic nature and Self. You then came to identify with these states as actually you, leading to anxiety, depression and other self-limiting and self-defeating beliefs and behaviors.

As we grow into ourselves, and life changes, we can begin to notice gaps in our story... We can begin to reflect on how we are shaped by our families, our childhood, our own temperament and our experiences in adulthood. Are we living in line with our goals, beliefs, and values? Do we have a strong sense of identity? Do we have quality relationships in our lives? Starting a family is one of life's greatest periods of reflection, adaptation and role change. It is not one cohesive story that is the same for everyone. There are times we need help navigating and adapting to this part of our life story.

I work with clients from the perspective of adult attachment research.

I understand the therapeutic experience to be a collaborative and co-constructed experience that must be continually evaluated. I am an integrative therapist, primarily drawing from Interpersonal, Relational/Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies.

Life's challenges can upending our understanding of our life's journey. We can question, "How did this happen to me?" & "This isn't how I pictured my life". When we are confused, anxious, or re-triggered by old emotional injuries it's easy to be overwhelmed. Therapy returns our balance, refocuses our inner strengths, eases depression and confusion, builds skills to decrease anxieties and puts us back on a path we understand with purpose and connection. Helping you find strengths and resilience is the goal. My study of neuroscience, interpersonal communication & psychology guides my practice. I'm a skilled, compassionate listener.

If you feel stuck—like something inside is holding you back from living with purpose, passion, and real joy—you're not alone. I work with individuals who are tired of carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, addiction, or the lingering emotional patterns that often begin in childhood and echo into adult life.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a warm, non-judgmental approach that creates a safe space for you to explore, heal, and grow. My clients often describe our work together as both grounding and freeing—like they can finally exhale and be themselves.
