I am passionate about exploring your story at your own pace and helping you become unstuck, feel alive, and move towards the "you" that you know you can be. If life is currently difficult for you, allow me to provide guidance, support, accountability, and a therapeutic relationship. I specialize in EMDR therapy and find it an effective way to process difficult target memories that are stuck in our minds. For any life challenge that you are experiencing, let's get started addressing the root problem.

I have been honored to work with clients to help shift the impact trauma holds in their life.

*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* “Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” Victor Frankl. In this world of chaos I provide compassion, care and strategies for managing the confusion of today’s culture.

I help people living with depression, self-identity struggles, grief, trauma and have experience working within LGBTQIA+ and ethical non-monogamous communities. The children I see have/are experiencing abuse, behavior concerns, and life stressors. My role as a therapist is to offer authentic and genuine reflections and to help strengthen your mental capacity and confidence to handle internal and external stressors. I believe we all have a story to tell, some intertwined with tragedy and challenges, and that our time together is for you to tell yours. Note: I don't work with insurance companies; only out of pocket.

I believe we all have the capacity to live and create authentic lives where we can honor our needs. But life can be hard and sometimes we get stuck or are so overwhelmed with big feelings that make it challenging to find ways to show up for ourselves and the life we daydream about. I love helping people that are in need of new coping strategies and working with them to practice and work through skills, techniques, and new ways of thinking that make a shift in their lives.

Every person has the capacity to change and heal and live authentically. I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for self-exploration, growth and expansion. I have over 18 years experience working with adults, young adults, teenagers, and families who have experienced trauma, relationship strains, anxiety and depression.
