My ideal clients want to realize the ways that anxiety, depression and unprocessed traumas are negatively affecting their lives and relationships. Clients of all areas of functioning are welcome; the desire to do the work to affect positive change is one of the most important factors in client progress. Goals are to work collaboratively to define success on the client's terms, regardless of whether they are what society might dictate. Clients want greater mental health, wellbeing, connection, healing from trauma, and insight into themselves, their motivations, wants, needs, values, and truths.

I love working will clients to fulfill their goals and dreams. I specialize in Anxiety and Trauma and am EMDR trained. I also have experience in depression, agoraphobia, overwhelm, anger, and emotional reactivity. Each treatment plan, like each client is unique and I cater our time together to be ideal to reach your potential. I have lot of experiences with youth, teens, and young adults. I feel confident in helping you through any life challenge or struggle and can help guide you on a new and helpful path.

Life is hard and beautiful, messy yet hopeful. We need support and healing as we navigate this life. Since 2008, I have worked with families and youth impacted by foster care, adoption and kinship placement. Parenting youth who have experienced trauma can be overwhelming and full of uncertainty.

Life can be hard-- really hard. Sometimes, we are just trying to survive and we end up in a place we don’t want to be: depression, anger, anxiety, loneliness, hopelessness. Asking for help is an act of strength and courage. I have a passion for helping others find their way toward who they want to be. I can help you become more proactive, not just reacting to the circumstances of life. Understanding the past. Managing the present. Building for the future. It’s never too late for change! Life can be better if you are willing to do the work. Are you ready to begin?
