Channel compassion and curiosity to yourself. Good results will follow. I embrace love, compassion, curiosity and insight to help guide you on a journey to internal healing and peace.
In addition to my private practice, I have written a book explaining the healing process (Crisis to Calm: A Handbook for Emotional Healing, on Amazon), am working on a second book on the basics of a healthy relationship and have a podcast, The Curious Counselor. I am passionate about helping people learn how to become happier healthier versions of themselves.
I am a life long learner. Be it actuary (FSA), diving (dive master), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprossessing), IFS (internal family systems), short-term solution focused therapy or even hypnotherapy. We will explore the right tools for your healing. I specialize in trauma, anxiety and/or relationship challenges.
Chaucy (my trusted companion and trained therapy dog) and I are here for you. The greatest compliment I have ever gotten is to be thanked for being real about how I show up so I can help you be real about how you show up. If you have read this far, I hope you will reach out for a free consult and explore how I might be of assistance to you.
