Why do we feel persistent guilt, shame, sadness, anxiousness, anger or hopelessness? Why do we find ourselves in situations and relationships that are hurtful and unsatisfying? Why do we repeat unhealthy behaviors? Why can't we find the motivation to become who we know we are capable to be? Why are we addicted? Often it is because we are relying on maladaptive coping skills and defense mechanisms to navigate challenging or even traumatic experiences. I whole-heartedly believe in the ability and resiliency of the human spirit and I offer a safe and therapeutic environment in which to process, learn, grow and develop healthier skills.

I work towards empowering my clients; I believe we can all access our inner warrior through willingness, determination and work. Learning new and healthier ways of protecting ourselves and coping allows us to fully grow and thrive. I am grateful that I am able to guide and act as a witness for individuals, couples and families through their healing journeys.

My experience & client focus includes; trauma & PTSD, religious faith crisis, survivors of abuse, grief & loss, coping w/ injury or neurological disease to include SCI, MS, & ALS, substance use disorders, eating disorders, co-dependency, fractured attachment, relationship / sex & love addiction, mood disorders, personality disorders, teen and family systems.
