Limited availability at this time. I Love what I do! Sounds Crazy- but the truth is I love working with people who have been thru unspeakable events in life and are looking to find their way back. Trauma is an abnormal event so approach it from a new perspective, talk about the things you are told not to and get into the depths of it. You have to be willing to walk into that bad neighborhood, that has become your mind, and clear it out- but you don't have to walk in there alone. Let me come with you. I'll be your lifeline.

I have openings for cash clients on a sliding scale! These days have been pretty rough and uncertain.

To guide you through difficult times, counseling with the right therapist can be a real life saver! It is important to have someone you can feel safe with and who will listen with empathy and provide emotional support allowing you to move forward in life.

NOT accepting new clients: First; HSC is a queer, trans, and neurodivergent safe space. Second, I want to help people heal from their trauma by utilizing EMDR or Flash. Most people struggle with symptoms they do not understand. I would love the opportunity to gently guide you through your healing journey. You are in charge. We go where you want to go.

I work with each person through a holistic and integrative lens. Whether I am completing an evaluation or providing therapy, it is not one size fits all. I take a lot of pride when a client tells me, “you’re not like my other therapist.” I’ve heard all sorts of reasons I’m not like others. Most often, I hear appreciation about my ability to validate and push for change at the same time. I provide individual and group therapy; working with older teenage and adult men and women. I also provide evaluation services in various areas, such as behavioral, emotional, personality, cognitive, sexual, and memory domains.

You want to be happy and free, but you keep repeating the same patterns over and over. You can't shake the feeling that you aren't good enough or that you caused the trauma to happen. If these statements describe you, then you might consider EMDR. This psychotherapy can relieve trauma symptoms on a deep, nervous system level and can neutralize the negative beliefs you're holding about yourself. Once you are free of the negative beliefs, EMDR is then used to help you believe something positive about yourself. I have used EMDR with dozens of clients and I love seeing the ways they grow and heal!

Remember the saying," Two heads are better than one?" I believe counseling should be collaborative. Both counselor and client bring knowledge and experience to the table. Together we can go over what strategies have not worked and implement new ones. Many life problems are complex, having biological, psychological, and/or social factors, but all are spiritually implicated in some way. My Christ-centered approach emphasizes Biblical renewing of the mind and spiritual growth, in addition to practical, proven strategies to help you overcome. I will support and care for you, strive to restore hope, and walk with you on your journey!

I remember when I showed up to my first counseling appointment as a client. I was nervous, embarrassed, and feeling defeated. In that moment, my physical body carried those emotions in that it felt on edge, almost willing me to get up and leave the counseling center. I also remember the connection I made with my counselor during that first session, and how I knew that is what I needed for that season of life. I understand that for most clients, showing up to their first (or second, or fiftieth..) counseling appointment is terrifying. For many, it feels like they don’t know where else to go, what to do, or who to turn to.

Symptoms of emotional distress, don't just come out of nowhere. As we go through life, our bodies alert us about whether to go towards something that seems safe, or away from something that seems dangerous. When there is no escape from the cause of sensations, as is the case in physical, emotional or sexual abuse, we learn learn ways avoid feeling the sensations in our body in order to protect ourselves. In order to heal, we need to be able to be in touch with our body sensations. They give us valuable information about safety.
