Since 2009, teenagers & adults have worked with me to deal with issues that are no joke.
Do you want to be listened to without criticism, judgment, or feelings of rejection? Most people do! But do you desire something more? When most people enter therapy, what they often truly desire is change. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are seeking while enjoying the process as much as possible. Simply said, I don’t believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe even a deep breath) to reach out and see how I can help.

I work with adolescents and adults on reducing and/or eliminating the symptoms of traumatic experiences.
Do you feel alone, unheard, unseen? Do you find yourself feeling empty or unsettled? I want you to know that’s not how you have to live and you can feel full of life and with purpose and direction again. When we think of trauma we often think of this big, violent event that has taken place in someone’s life. But trauma doesn’t always present itself in that form and it doesn’t look the same for every single person. An event becomes traumatic based the degree of distress our body and mind responds to it. No matter the type of threat or event, if life feels like a big struggle, you're not alone. You can have peace and be fulfilled.
