I have a Trauma Focused Certification but use an integrative approach that includes crisis intervention, mindfulness, grounding, solution focused therapy and motivational interviewing.
If you feel unsure on how to navigate through daily life stress, you're not alone. Sometimes we get caught up in the different roles we fulfill and lose ourselves in the process. Maybe you've coped with mental and emotional instability by suppressing how you feel or have engaged in negative behaviors that make the situation worse. Whatever your going through, it won't define who you are nor should you allow it to hold you hostage. You have the inner strength to push through any circumstance, all you need is support and the right motivation.

I’m so glad you’re here. Making the decision to reach out for help takes tremendous courage and vulnerability. Great job on taking this first step. Maybe you're here because you're struggling with recurring anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. Or maybe you've tried therapy before and it helped briefly, but you found yourself repeating the same patterns shortly after. If you're ready to do the deep work to uncover and heal the root cause of your distress so that you see lasting change in your life, I'd be honored to support you on this journey.

I am passionate about supporting women and mothers along their life’s journey. Expectations do not always align with the reality of a woman’s experience leaving many with feelings of guilt, anger, sadness, and loneliness that may further alienate them from feeling safe to express themselves to others openly and honestly. I have had countless conversations with women in the hospital setting about how alone they felt at times during their motherhood journeys. Having a safe, warm, unconditionally accepting space where you can express yourself openly and honestly is the space that I strive to create for my clients.
