I help adults and couples struggling with trauma, anxiety, and relationship stress feel more grounded and connected. Using CBT, EMDR, and attachment-based therapy, I support clients in healing past experiences and building lasting emotional resilience. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can gain clarity, build healthier patterns, and strengthen their relationships. I often work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and substance use, and I tailor therapy to each person’s unique story and goals.

Anxiety, depression, and the lingering weight of trauma can leave you feeling on edge, drained, or unsafe in your own mind. You deserve a space where you can set all of that down and be met without judgment. As a child, I did not feel welcomed by a therapist, and that experience is exactly what drives me to offer something different. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an MC from University of Phoenix, 2012, and I work with clients 13 and older. Human vulnerability moves me, and I believe in each person's ability to change and grow.

When anxiety or depression take hold, even everyday tasks can feel overwhelming. You might find yourself questioning your choices, withdrawing from others, or struggling to move forward during a major life transition. I help individuals explore what’s driving these feelings, uncover unhelpful thought patterns, and reconnect with what truly matters to them.

I work well with clients who have experienced unresolved trauma. My preferred treatment modality is EMDR, which I use to treat not only the trauma but the negative cognitions associated with trauma. I find that addiction, anxiety, and depression are often decreased when the trauma is resolved. I have successfully treated clients with: sexual/physical/emotional abuse, phobias, combat trauma, dog attacks, and childhood bullying. I also have expertise in treating children and adults with learning disabilities, as I was a school psychologist for 10 years.

Being a woman or girl today has gotten increasingly complex! You were raised to believe what you were told. Your parents told you one thing. Your friends another. Throw in societal expectations and the media..? And now you want something more fulfilling. More fun. More…you! You’re afraid of being labeled. The people you date are the ones you are “supposed to,” not who you want. Maybe sex has been painful or unfulfilling and you want to understand why. Your sexual self is yours alone. But how do you sort your truth from everyone else’s? You want something different, but you are not sure how to talk about it.

Sometimes therapy means learning new skills, and sometimes it means hearing someone else you’ve entrusted, reflect what you might in some way already know but haven’t been able to see. Sometimes therapy means looking at the roots of our problems to contextualize them, and sometimes breaking habits relies primarily on creating new habits that meet the right need, when the habits we’ve been living with are no longer working for us. Sometimes therapy is an honest appraisal about the risk of our actions and exploring ways to move towards health.

Are you tired of bad "dates" with therapists, finding yourself explaining basic parts of your identity and feeling like therapy's going nowhere because of it? Maybe you're kinky, disabled, BIPOC, neurodivergent, queer, non-monogamous, all of the above, or don't subscribe to labels.

Congratulations on taking the first steps in starting your healing journey. It takes strength and bravery to seek help, and I'm honored to assist. My clients often come to therapy feeling like they don't recognize themselves anymore, feeling lonely, overwhelmed, resentful, disappointed, and at times feeling guilty that they are not enjoying parenthood as they thought they would. Does this resonate? After working together, they often feel empowered, connected to their identity, able to navigate their emotions and identify their needs, set boundaries, and communicate in healthier ways to create the family dynamics they desire.

In facing many of my own challenges as a young adult, I struggled and made many poor decisions. I found psychology and social work fascinating for understanding human nature and building on my own personal strengths. Working in behavioral health over the past 20+ years with many different populations, I have found that recovery is for everyone. Every person defines that differently and inherently has the power within. My job is to assist you in finding that meaning for you. Lived experience has value and teaches us all that we are capable and empowers us to move forward.
