I hold that you inherently deserve unconditional love and acceptance - and that healing must include the internal relationship to Self, in order to welcome a profound connectedness to others. I see trauma not as something wrong with you, but something right - a deep wisdom rising up that must be heard. In collaboration we will design the path that best serves your healing, whether through tools of immediate relief (like parasympathetic release / polyvagal theory) or in long arcs of subtle process toward deeper healing (like Somatic Internal Family Systems and EMDR).

Life is difficult when you are stuck in the past. I would like to help you remove barriers that prevent you from living the life you desire and deserve. This includes processing past memories and negative beliefs about yourself that get in the way of feeling connected to yourself and others. I work with you to build a solid sense of who you are and investigate ways you feel empowered in your body. We also work on discovering what radical self care and coping skills look like for you and ultimately determine how you can have a life that is centered around what you truly value. And most importantly, increasing experiences of pleasure!

Life is no easy task. It can knock us around causing regrets and unwanted feelings. Emotional pain can be elusive, idling for years as the culprit of failed partnerships, loneliness, underachievement, despair, and fear. Mental pain does not send us to the emergency room for stitches but can leave us feeling at war with ourselves. When left unattended this pain can lead to debilitating mood disorders and maladaptive coping strategies. As a partner of Lakewood Counseling, I am here to help you tend to your mental health, restore your inner strength and reclaim control over the life that you deserve.

Have you ever experienced someone giving you an uncomfortable glance or had harmful words spoken to or about you because of your racial identity, ethnicity, sexual/affectional orientation, or just because of the way you look? Have you ever had difficulties describing what or how you’re feeling, or not knowing what the hell to do when you’re feeling the feels? Are you new to therapy, trying to navigate and manage the stressors of life, have tried therapy before and it wasn’t a good fit, or maybe you’re returning to continue working toward new goals?

Welcome! I’m so grateful you’re here. I believe deeply in the inherent worth and healing capacity of all human beings. I view the therapeutic relationship as a sacred, expansive, and co-created space that allows us to show up authentically, get curious, engage vulnerably, and step into our power. I believe that within therapy, we work to expand our capacity to be in relationship with ourselves and the world around us. As your trauma-informed therapist, you can expect me to show up authentically as a human first and foremost.

Life's challenges can be difficult, overwhelming or lonely as your life story unfolds and you have lost direction. The first step towards change can feel confusing and even impossible. As the oyster's irritants create the pearl, the lobster must abandon his shell to grow, and the caterpillar must change three times before he becomes a butterfly. In other words: The Struggle You Are In Today Is Developing What You Need To Face Tomorrow .

Being trained in Marriage and Family Therapy isn't just about working with couples. It is best to state that relationships are my passion.

The general goals for the client are to identify issues, develop a plan of action, and implement that plan. This is a very personal process. It is educational and developmental by nature. Cures are not immediate, pain-free, or instant by nature, but may require diligent effort and candid exploration. This process often involves experiencing ‘unpleasant’ feelings as part of the counseling process within and outside of scheduled sessions. If you are looking for deep and transformative healing work, I welcome you to explore further. NEW and INTAKE clients please contact me via email - thank you!
