Life can change in a flash. Transitions are not always expected. Job loss, chronic illness, death of a loved one, a pandemic - not to mention those we do plan, such as moving, empty nest, retirement, and others. We often try to avoid transitions because change can be hard. Even a positive change can cause feelings of loss, anxiety, overwhelmed and often leads to anxiety or depression. Those suffering from emotional instability, trauma & loss, or other life stressors causing mental health disturbance, acquiring new skills through tools and meeting goals, will allow for greater self-understanding, offering an enhanced quality of life.

This world is hard and we all need someone to come alongside of them to be their cheerleader. I have experienced first hand how trauma has impacted the life of families and individuals and do not want you to walk this path alone. Together we can collaborate to ensure that you are living a life of joy and freedom. I have lots of experience working with those in the child welfare system, whether it is children, biological parents, foster parents, adoptive parents or child welfare workers and I want to see you successful in all that you do.

Finding the right therapist for you is important. My style tends to be warm and soft-spoken but I can be gently confrontational when necessary. I decided to become a therapist because I deeply care about helping others in meaningful ways.

It is safe to say, life doesn’t always go according to plan. And at times seeking help and support is the most courageous step you can take. YOU are the narrator of your story, and it is my hope to guide you to be the best possible version of yourself. Over the past 11 years I have worked with clients dealing with chronic illness, situational stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem & depression through an eclectic approach using CBT, motivational interviewing and EMDR.

Life is not easy; we often need support and someone to listen to our fears, hopes, and dreams. We sometimes need a nudge in a certain direction we can't see clearly. I can help provide that nudge with whatever you are struggling with and provide insight on how to get there. As a therapist, my ideal client is someone who is committed to personal growth and ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. I work with a variety of ages from 5 years and up.

Trauma can leave us feeling disconnected from others as well as from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from people who don't understand, or guilty over what happened to you. You may not even remember a time you didn’t feel like this. Either way, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to enjoy deep relationships without the past getting in the way. You’re ready to wake up each morning with purpose. Most of all, you’re ready to move forward with a sense of empowerment and get back to feeling like yourself again.

Sometimes, a good cry is just what you need to release all the hurt you have built up inside! People come to counseling because they want something to be different in their lives. They may want to change their personal or family situation, solve a particular problem, or simply bring a healthier balance to their lives. The counseling process can be fun and exciting. It can also, at times, be very challenging, difficult, and even painful. However, the goal will always be to bring about some positive change and meaningful outcomes!

Life is often really tough. My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to share their story, their struggles, their victories and their goals so they can feel less alone and also have a therapeutic partner to sort through what they'd like to understand better about themselves in order to take new steps towards wellness and growth. Being understood by a compassionate person is strengthening, and so is having a therapeutic partner to help you think about what you're thinking about and what you'd rather be focusing on.
