The single most important factor in successful psychotherapy is the relationship between client and therapist; effective therapy starts from the moment you call or email. If you feel unsure, please contact me about setting up your first appointment.

Since i can remember, I have been passionate about working with people and helping them overcome the short term and long term struggles they may be facing day to day. My goal in my career is to assist my clients in learning new skills to help them advance mentally, physically, and emotionally while building and promoting self-confidence and personal wellbeing. I have a wide range of knowledge surrounding childhood trauma, parenting issues, infertility, depression, anxiety, stress, crisis, and PTSD. Professionally I use a range of interventions to encourage health, growth, patience, self-compassion, healing, and understanding.

My primary goal as an effective clinician is to work with compassion and drive to help individuals find solutions to life’s struggles while improving their interpersonal relationships and encouraging self-actualization. As a master’s level clinician, I work in a private practice where I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression.

In the hardest moments of life, it makes sense to seek support — someone to help shoulder the pain and guide you through. If you are feeling overwhelmed by relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, or trauma, counseling is a safe space where you can be seen and heard without judgment. As your therapist, I will be a compassionate guide to walk beside you as you take steps toward healing, learn to work through conflict or trauma in healthy ways, and start to understand your own story.

Life is difficult. Grief, loss, trauma and all of the existential concerns of relationships with others, the relationship with yourself and the meaning and purpose for your life and occupations, are all very real emotional problems. Effective therapy addresses these concerns in a way that nothing else can.

You’re exhausted, overwhelmed by the pace of modern life, stuck in relationships or jobs that don’t fulfill you. You want to change but you’re too bogged down by your inner critic that says you’re “too much” or “not enough”. You’re ready to feel at home with yourself, at home in your life. That’s where I come in. Together we will help you alleviate anxiety and past trauma to manifest more joy, peace, & meaningful connection. We will work to understand and heal your people-pleasing & perfectionist parts so you can learn what YOU truly want in life & how to get it on your own terms.

I am incredibly passionate about helping others better understand themselves and get to the root of their issues. I'll provide a safe environment where you can explore your inner world with the intention of developing insight, understanding your needs, and meeting your goals. I specialize in helping adults address their childhood trauma and reduce their trauma reactions. Other issues I am experienced with includes: PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, attachment trauma, sexual assault + abuse, domestic violence, sex trafficking, grief + loss, relationship difficulties, life-transitions, low self-esteem, + personal growth.

At Human Kindness we specializes in trauma, PTSD, + C-PTSD. At this time we are completely virtual and are only seeing ages 18+. Whether the trauma is from childhood or more recent, complex or a one time event - all of our therapists on staff understand the difficulty that trauma can bring to our lives & know how to work with the lingering trauma reactions your body may be experiencing. We also work with other issues such as: anxiety, depression, anger, grief, ADHD, low self-esteem, relationship issues, divorce, work stress & burnout. Our mission is to help people be curious and self-compassionate while they heal their trauma.

We have all felt a lack of connection at some time, whether it is lack of connection with others or lack of connection with ourselves. It is common for this feeling to become more profound at specific times or due to certain experiences. This may include experiences with trauma, foster care and adoption, grief and loss, infertility, or unexpected circumstances or changes, such as divorce, challenges with children's development, illness/loss of a loved one, or changes in employment. My focus is in helping clients to develop a stronger sense of connection toward the goal of finding a new sense of meaning, acceptance, and fulfillment.

Life is about transition and transformation, from the time we enter the world, and with every transition comes increased exposure to greater life stressors. These stressors may result in sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, PTSD, impaired relationships, anger or addiction. Through therapy, we will explore the origin of those symptoms, identify positive coping techniques, establish healthy boundaries and implement change, allowing for personal growth and improved self-efficacy. Hope and healing begins today, with just one phone call.

Sometimes our interactions in life can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, problems with interpersonal relationships, trauma, and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Together we can explore effective strategies to help you navigate whatever you are experiencing. Our journey will begin with establishing trust through respect and empathy, then we will begin to explore the origin of your stressors, and identify tools to help you learn and grow while ultimately empowering you to feel your best. Your healing can begin the moment you contact me.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults who have unique therapeutic needs, such as those who identify as gifted, autistic, ADHD, and multi-exceptional. I know from experience how difficult it can be to find a therapist that understands, supports, and centers your unique ways of experiencing the world. I support people struggling with substance use, and am an ally of all members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have experience treating issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, health concerns, family issues and parenting, self-esteem, and more. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an eye movement therapy.

Early Childhood is an amazing, complex time. Whether planning to grow your family, are currently pregnant, or planning an adoption, you may experience a mixture of joy, confusion, sadness, and worry. As an attachment therapist, I specialize in supporting caregivers through pregnancy and caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, or preschoolers. Whether you are looking for support for the challenges of pregnancy and parenting, or your child is struggling emotionally, has developmental/behavioral concerns, or has experienced stressors such divorce, trauma, I am here to support your family to grow and thrive.

Chronic illness, grief, disordered eating, trauma, can cause extreme shifts in our minds and bodies, resulting in a variety of behaviors to cope and “protect us.”Not all the responses support an authentic value based life experience, nor are sustainable solutions for the trauma experienced. If you feel like you need a change, or are tired of being tired, I can help! Utilizing evidence based interventions, we can rewire the nervous system, desensitize, reprocess experiences building resiliency, and shift behaviors more aligned with your needs. I look forward to helping establish, build or repair your unique foundation of healing.

While we can't change difficult situations of the past or present, we can work together to better understand those experiences and how they may be affecting your life today. By utilizing a variety of complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I offer coaching, compassionate insight and trust in my work with young/midlife adults and elders struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, trauma, substance abuse, obesity and identity issues. I provide unique perspectives considering my own diverse background involving a career change from the corporate arena to clinical psychology. I work in private practice and have conducted research on adult children caring for elder parents. I assist individuals moving through life changing events believing that the path to happiness is self defined and achievement is most rewarding when created from internal wisdom.
