At one point or another, we all experience hardship in life. Whether it is grief, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, I cannot think of a greater privilege than coming alongside people who are struggling. I love building relationships with people and have a passion for helping them build stronger, more lasting relationships in their lives. I enjoy working with families and couples who seek to strengthen their relationships. I also enjoy working with adults and teens as they seek to figure out the challenges they encounter. My hope is to be a safe place to walk with individuals through their current troubles.

Every individual has experienced internal conflict regarding their mental health. Some of those we navigate just fine on our own and that is awesome! Other times we need some guidance, new ideas on how to effectively communicate, affirmations that we "do hard things", or to have our views on a situation challenged so we can come back with greater understanding and additional empathy.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EMDR Therapist, I have specific training in the use of EMDR in the treatment of trauma, addictions, and early attachment disorders. My advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the treatment of addictions, and over 15 years of experience in helping people to overcome their struggle with PTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression and substance use disorders will prove to be invaluable to you. I bring all of this experience and training into our sessions together in order serve you with excellence and compassion.

You're feeling like something is wrong. You're afraid this is what life is like now, your new normal. You don't recognize yourself. Maybe you don't know where or when things went left, maybe you do. Either way, you're angry and sad and confused. You're thinking it might be your fault.

Life can be overwhelming. Balancing relationships, work, parenting, physical health, mental health, and then finding time for “self-care” can feel impossible. However, just as the core strengthens as the muscles are worked - we have the ability to build our emotional muscle in balancing life. The tools I use come from Somatic Experiencing which is experiential and focused, but gentle. This modality supports connection between mind and body which leads to creating deeper awareness.

Is your heart always racing? Are you suffering from headaches, belly aches, tension in your back or neck? Do you lack patience with your kids, partner, colleagues, friends? Let's be real, life is hard. When we become overwhelmed with daily stressors, chronic stress, or trauma our body is impacted. Sometimes we need someone who isn't related to us and has no judgments to talk to. Maybe you are facing a big life change, maybe an event is constantly replaying in your mind, maybe the daily stressors are adding up. There is hope!

I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds including but not limited to anxiety, depression, and trauma.

While struggle is common to the human experience, it can lead to healing and growth. Even in the most difficult of circumstances, it is possible to choose a life of purpose and joy. My desire is to collaborate with clients to find hope, healing and solutions for life’s challenges. I am particularly interested in trauma, women’s issues, relationship struggles including betrayal trauma, parenting challenges and life transitions.  I am passionate about meeting people where they are, learning their stories and supporting them as they build the life they desire. I will hold space for your pain and hope for your healing.

Struggling relationships, difficult transitions, and heavy losses can feel exhausting, confusing, burdensome, and at times, unbearable. Sometimes, we need a safe and confidential space where we feel supported, understood, and can learn to move forward. I approach counseling with the belief that you possess innate dignity and worth, and it’s my priority to help you feel heard and valued as you tell your story and share your struggles. As we engage with the experiences that have brought you here, I believe that hope and growth await you, and it is possible to live your life in the ways that you long for.

Is your relationship going through a hard time? Maybe I can help. I am trained in EFT for couples, which is focused on identifying underlying patterns of conflict in order to find new ways of relating and connecting. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help couples figure out what is keeping their relationship stuck. I work collaboratively with clients to understand the underlying patterns that are causing disruption or discord in their lives and relationships so they can experience lasting change.

The decision to seek therapy involves more than a willingness to grow - It also requires the ability to develop a healthy therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and unconditional acceptance. Creating a healthy and supportive relationship allows the client to discover more about themselves and creates an environment for change.

We all go through challenging times in our lives. My goal is to create an empathetic environment for you to come navigate any challenges you could be facing. I have experience working with children who have a variety of life challenges. I will provide tools and consultation for parents/family members to use at home with their children. In addition, I have experience working with families and couples to help increase relationship satisfaction. I would love the opportunity to help you to work towards a life you find fulfillment in.

Change is possible for each of us. Whether it's depression, anxiety, relational issues, a trauma you've witnessed or survived yourself, self image, or any number of struggles you may be facing, it can be helped.

Have you been feeling stressed out, stuck, or overwhelmed? As you read this, you have already taken your first really important step to finding change. Life is full of challenges and occasionally we need support. You know there is more to your life than what you are currently experiencing. I am here to be with you as you are, to help you discover who you want to be, and help you take those steps to be a greater you. Together, let us unwind the tangled, constant running thoughts, so you can discover who you want to be and gain the courage and path to get there.

I believe ideal clients are individuals with goals for personal growth, maintaining healthy self-care, and to establish higher quality of life and improved wellbeing. Ideal clients strive to gain understanding of the world they live in and to obtain a heightened sense of awareness of the role they play in their life.
