Are you feeling stuck, angry, anxious, or finding little pleasure in life? Are you having trouble "getting over it"? Feeling unsatisfied or frustrated in your relationships? There is hope. Hurts can be healed, past or present. While I work with many different issues, I specialize in working with people with trauma, those who are grieving or struggling with any kind of loss, couples and relationship issues, and compassion fatigue for those who care for others. While therapy is not easy, I believe change and healing are possible, regardless of your circumstances, hurts, or issues you are facing.

Difficulty managing intense emotions, inability to cope with distress, and impulsive (sometimes unsafe) behaviors can have a profound impact on your quality of life. I want to help you learn constructive ways of coping with distress and painful emotions that do not involve engaging in problem behaviors. You have identified some things you would like to change, but reaching out for support can be scary. I create a comfortable, nonjudgmental and validating environment that continues to help me build strong connections with my clients.

I am a fully licensed therapist with a background in trauma focused therapy. I work with individuals that have experienced multiple types of trauma as well as individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and other issues. I operate from a non-judgmental approach and provide a safe supportive atmosphere.

You may have been told by people in your life “you’re being dramatic!” or “what’s the big deal!” when expressing your emotions. This can feel super invalidating and makes it even harder to cope with the situation. I’m here to provide validation that feeling emotions more intensely than others is normal! In fact, it can even be a strength! I want us to work together to build a robust toolkit of skills to help manage the emotions when they feel overwhelming.

I am often contacted by clients unable to derive pleasure from their daily lives. At times, these problems are clearly linked to anxiety, depression, or to inner conflicts. However, at other times, clients are not able to point to specific symptoms, but rather are troubled by a vague sense of dissatisfaction that complicates relationships, work life, or their ability to be successful in school or in other pursuits. Previous attempts to solve these problems through the use of medications or by focusing on behavior or cognitions have proven less than satisfactory, and have led to an interest in trying insight-oriented psychotherapy.

I do not limit my practice to serving only those who consider themselves “a person with a disability;” however, I do appreciate that EVERYONE has their own set of strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to help the individuals I work with identify and enhance their strengths so they can more efficiently use them to minimize the effects of weaknesses as barriers to achieving their goals and improved quality of life. To achieve these outcomes, I rely upon evidence-based cognitive and behavioral interventions, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy that are tailored to each client’s unique history, present concerns, and future plans.
