Thank You. We will design a healing journey that is uniquely yours! Specializing in trauma resolution and spiritually integrated psychotherapy. Working together considering all factors of mind, body, and spirit. Honoring chronic illness; reviewing your spiritual life or lack of; what you eat or don't; your thoughts and what you are afraid to think; how you move or are unable to move; what you vision for your-Self and what gets in the way. Acknowledging the great mystery of suffering and how to find meaning. Exploring your resiliency and your innate capacity to heal - seeking your strengths and what brings joy and happiness!

Life events such as getting married or divorced; becoming a new parent or an empty nester; starting a new career or retiring all signal a process of change and transition. For some people, such change can create a sense of excitement and anticipation while for others great anxiety, fear and stress. The loss of a loved one is a change that often brings feelings of deep grief and depression. Furthermore, we are navigating massive changes occurring in our society and in the world that have impacted the way we live, work and socialize. The resulting stress and anxiety is at an all time high.

Relationships are hard, but this one is a stalemate. You're so stuck that you're ready to scream at how long it's taking you to get unstuck. You've always valued your ability to reflect on your relationships with others, figure out what you can do to make a difference, and find a middle ground. But right now it's not working. You don't want to shift the blame or find a simple answer, and you're more than willing to own your part in things. In your heart, you know the right support could make all the difference - if you can find answers that resonate with you. But you need direction now; you can't live this way anymore.

*In Person & Virtual sessions* I know this can be a very challenging time for your or your teen. From the comfort of your own home, we can work through the challenges you're facing together. I have a great deal of experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and couples facing obstacles such as trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, negative self-image, panic attacks, and relationship difficulties.

I love working with children, teens and caregivers to improve the quality of life for all members of the family system. As part of my client centered approach, I do ask that clients and caregivers are active participants in the therapeutic process. As an active participant, you and your child will be able to try various methods to improve and develop the life that you wish to have. I value a holistic approach to therapy which includes examination of the person and how they respond to their behaviors, beliefs, and the community around them by incorporating talk therapy and some expressive therapeutic techniques.

I am a licensed graduate art therapist and counselor and am excited to work with you using art therapy and other therapy modalities. My goal as a therapist is to support clients in making meaning and finding peace. My approach may involve anything from us working together to soothe your anxiety, to sorting through unspeakable trauma. I aim to create a space that is warm and devoid of judgement. I will walk beside you and explore with you, and other than the occasional gentle nudge, I won’t push you where you aren’t ready to go.

Major transitions, family issues, excessive worry, or feelings of being stuck are hurdles we may face at some point on our life's journey. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to support you or your loved ones through these issues and help you navigate life's challenges. My goal is to form a collaborative relationship with my clients so that we can explore the root of issues, identify barriers, and create pathways to help you move forward.

When your body is in distress, your mind and mood suffer. Whether you want to address your weight, pain, disordered eating, stress, living with a chronic disease, recovering from an illness, or adjusting to a new medical condition, I can help. I also support care partners of those with chronic illness. As a board-certified rehabilitation psychologist, I emphasize a holistic approach to well-being and support people in leading a values-filled life that recognizes personal strengths, reduces shame and promotes self-compassion, encourages collaboration, and meets you where you are non-judgmentally.

We all have moments where we need support. Together we can expand your resiliency & strengthen your skill set. My approach is to create a collaborative and supportive space in which we explore your experience and discover the wisdom you hold within to heal and change.

If you have trauma and experience PTSD symptoms such as hypervigilance, feelings of emptiness, hopelessness and/or abandonment, night terrors/nightmares, flashbacks, dissociation and ongoing anxiety, fear and depression, please reach out to me. I specialize exclusively in trauma therapy and have extensive experience in navigating trauma histories (PTSD and CPTSD) of all types. Together, we seek understanding and reintegration of the whole person (body, mind and spirit) so that you can let go of trauma, and begin to experience life's inherent richness and joy.
