I have over 25 years of experience. Most of us are faced with situations and issues at some point in our life we never dreamed would happen to us. When navigating what life throws at us it's not only helpful, but important for our long term recovery, to have the right support along the way. As a therapist with over twenty-five years of experience I have helped and supported many individuals, couples and families work through issues ranging from anxiety and depression to infidelity, financial stress, illness and death, separation, interpersonal and family conflict, addictions, identity and sexuality issues, as well as abuse issues.

I specialize in women, mothers, people pleasers, perfectionists and neurodivergent humans. If this is you : you might feel stressed out, burnt out or anxious. You may feel depressed, lonely or isolated. You may be too hard on yourself for not being perfect. You may struggle with low self-esteem or not feeling good enough. You give everything to your family, your job, your partner and have nothing left for you. You are so busy doing all of the things you don't have time to truly take care of yourself. Your tank is empty. You may even wonder how you can keep doing this day after day. This is not how you want your life to be.

I support individual adults (18+) in addressing challenges, some of which include healing and wellness from depression, anxiety, trauma (generational/PTSD/racial), life transitions, stress, low self-esteem, and cultural and relationship challenges. In doing so, I utilize person-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed, and systemic approaches in therapy with specific techniques from ACT, narrative, DBT, CBT, and EMDR. Clients can expect unconditional care, a sense of authenticity, respect for their unique story, and yes, even a space for humor when participating in one of my sessions.

For support in managing difficulties in your personal & professional lives caused by unresolved traumas or conflict, therapy can help. I work with individuals, couples, & families to help collaboratively tackle the challenges they are facing, through creating a new insight & forming an action, solution plan. Additionally, I practice EMDR therapy, AEDP, Brainspotting and Neurofeedback and find it powerful in healing a range of psychological concerns including depression, anxiety, shame and trauma and areas where clients experience "being stuck". My practice is based on years of well-established evidence-based effective treatments.

Are you overwhelmed with stress? Are you dealing with change, or transition? Have you have suffered a significant loss? Are you struggling with staying on task, difficulty focusing, lack of motivation, or setting limits? Maybe you want to understand yourself, your family of origin and other relationships more fully. Is your spiritual journey lonely? Is what you have believed changing? Are your new belief’s at odds with your church or your family? Do you feel like an outcast? Do you need a safe place to vent? Whatever your need is, I will meet you where you are on your journey.

One of the sweetest things in all the world is the ability to enjoy yourself when you're with others. Imagine your home as a place where family members find it easy to relax and have a good time with each other. Then imagine that nice feeling radiating out to others with whom you come in contact. You find it easy to forget yourself and be comfortable when you talk to other people. These things are possible. I know. It happened to me.

Have you heard of "mental workouts"? In order for us to get better at being our best selves, we need to train every day. Allow me to be your mental coach in making sure that you are in the best shape to tackle your current life stresses and concerns. I’ve experienced a fair share of stress, being misunderstood, taken advantage of, feeling hopeless, and trapped between multiple worlds so I know that we all need a mental break to repair and strategize ways to cope and continue our hectic lives.

It is a deep human desire to be seen, heard, loved and known. I am honored and humbled by my clients inviting me into their lives to witness their pain, struggles and perseverance. I am with my clients to empower and challenge them in their growth, healing and beauty. No matter the past or path that got them into the counseling room with me, my main focus is to partner with them to build a better future. Not a future to just feel better or make it to the next day or hope to have better relationship or to get over the past; but beyond. We work together as a team to flourish as a child of God, this side of Heaven.

Why do you seem to grow irritable and frustrated with other people? Is there something that keeps you from being able to communicate with your partner? Something that keeps you from doing well at work? Why is it so hard to talk to that family member, to trust other people--to trust even your own judgment? You know just what you want to do in life (growth, stability, security, find a supportive romantic relationship), yet, so many of your goals have never been realized.

I conduct Pre-Bariatric Surgery Psychological Evaluations and psychotherapy pre and post surgery as needed.

Life and the circumstances that happen to us can be overwhelming and stressful. Reaching out for help can feel so vulnerable and scary. My compassionate and playful approach can create a space for you to feel seen and accepted. I can help you process the hard stuff, make meaning, wrestle through new ways of being, build resiliency, and feel empowered. I offer services to all ages, but have a special interest working with preteens and young adults. I also enjoy partnering with parents as they learn how to best support their children and manage their own self-care. Wherever you find yourself, I'd be honored to hear your story.
