Resolving trauma is very important and my speciality when it comes to childhood, Couples, teens and children. Are you ready to be heard and address your needs in counseling instead of others directing you? I’m committed to helping people understand themselves better so that they can make constructive changes in their lives. I provide a full assessment regarding trauma history, attachment, and what interventions would be appropriate. Taking that first step takes courage, making an appointment, and meeting with a counselor. I’m have an empathic gentle style, and provide a safe environment for families, children, teens, and adults.

I view each client as an individual; I believe no two people are alike therefore no two presenting issues are alike. I feel it is imperative that the client be an active participant throughout the therapeutic process therefore the client will identify what they would like to focus on and together we will set realistic, obtainable goals.

I specialize in working with ADHD, HSP, and ASD. Being in our bodies- and being in our world- can be very difficult. This is especially true when when you're a highly sensitive person.

I'm here to take a deep dive into what's making you feel like "too much" and highlight the ways you are "just enough for the right people". Typically, my client's goals are to live more comfortably in their sensitive skin, find liberation from shame, and better manage depression and anxiety.

Life can be an overwhelming experience for anyone. Things can become especially challenging when a person feels stressed by circumstances beyond their control. Individuals who come to therapy are often very capable human beings who have experienced something in their life that has left them needing some extra support. Many times people begin therapy feeling down and lost. Through a person's work in therapy, they are often able to find some light on their path to help guide them through the pain. This shift creates an opportunity for a person to improve their day-to-day functioning and overall, they FEEL BETTER!!
