Do you struggle with having a sense of self that affects your relationships, career, and your day to day life? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated by trying to please others or dealing with your own inner battles? Do you wonder what life could look like if you had a fresh start with options that currently feel out of reach? Now more than ever, women and those who identify with the Christian faith are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain about who they are in a culture overloaded with information and high expectations.

I can currently offer appointments within 1-2 weeks. Treatment specialties: Trauma and Loss. My clients typically have tried to avoid therapy for months, perhaps, years; therefore, there are layers of issues to address. Most clients are looking for immediate solace to include feeling validated, welcome, and to form a trusting alliance with their therapist. We will establish that very quickly. While many of my clients present with relationship issues, but trauma, loss, moral injury, and unresolved grief may be at the root of the problem. I love working with a variety of clients and issues. I look forward to hearing from you.

Individuals are often feeling stuck and annoyed about falling into the same patterns when they come in to see me. Together, we will look at the ways you've tried to address your problems, and how those attempts are usually counterproductive. In session, we will work on increasing your brain's flexibility to create sustainable change within yourself and the relationships most important to you. I love working with college students and young adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression.

You might need an unbiased 3rd party to process things. Maybe someone to understand what feelings you're going through? Or someone to hold up a mirror with a trauma-informed and compassionate lens. Whether it be depression, anxiety, grief, relationships, trauma, or difficult life transitions, we’ll collaborate together to help you be you. Sometimes we just need a soft place to land when we fall.

Do you and your partner struggle with communication issues, conflict or sexual issues that undermine your ability to have a fulfilling relationship?

I specialize in chronic health conditions and trauma, which I understand first hand. Chronic medical conditions (i.e. dysautonomia POTS, EDS, Lyme disease, Bartonella, IBS, fibro, fatigue CFS, Hashimoto’s, mast cell MCAS, sickle cell disease, mold illness CIRS, etc.) often come with significant challenges, like fear, anxiety, grief, medical PTSD, and may interfere with relationships and daily function. I utilize various holistic evidence-based treatment modalities and practice-based evidence, contingent on each person’s needs and goals, with an added focus on mindfulness techniques, positive psychology, and strengths-based therapy.

Braving the unsteady waters of healing is an act of self-love. I believe in the transformative power of turning our attention inward to shed light on all parts of self—the beautiful, the “ugly,” the shameful, the resilient. From my experience as both a therapist and a fellow human on this path, I have witnessed the profound power of allowing yourself to be seen, truly seen, in the presence of another. It is my commitment to work together to create an environment where you feel safe, honored, and sacred. This is where our “heart-work” begins.

Many people ask me why I chose this profession, particularly as I began this journey later in life. While there are a number of qualifying reasons, the truest one of all is this: It actually chose me. I know what it is to experience great emotional pain, debilitating grief, the weight of fear and hopelessness. AND…I also know what it is to experience deep healing and a renewed sense of hope and peace. Perhaps you can relate to that first part; the pain, the fear, or other deep, difficult emotions residing within your story. If so, I am guessing it will be the "deep healing, hope & peace" part which compels you to keep reading.

I believe the most important element in the therapeutic relationship is the connection between therapist and client -- person to person. What I bring to the relationship is warmth, caring, and a gentle and compassionate presence. I have a deep faith in your ability to transform your life, empowering you to discover what works and change what doesn't, helping you find your own truth and path. My approach is gentle, yet potent. Using EMDR (www.emdr.com) and EFT (www.emofree.com) as highly effective tools, I help you to release negative patterns and beliefs and build upon your positive resources and strengths.

Circumstances, life crisis, disability and past trauma can block our ability to achieve our goals and dreams. I am passionate about helping people overcome obstacles that are affecting their ability to live a fulfilling, purposeful and happy life. We all have dreams and a vision of what we want our life to look like. Whatever issue brings you to therapy, I am excited to help and guide you through the process of revealing those blocks, resolving unproductive behaviors, and developing healthy coping skills so you can live the life you imagine.

Therapy is a great first step if you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging time or you're ready to move in a new direction in your life. I am a Certified EMDR therapist and use it regularly in my practice. EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps clients alleviate the distress associated with painful and traumatic life events and also helps clients transform long-held beliefs about themselves that are no longer useful and keep them stuck in unhealthy patterns and relationships. I also integrate CBT, ACT, IFS parts work and mindfulness to help clients reach their personal goals.
