Trauma Recovery Therapy - Difficult & painful life experiences often leave us feeling like something in our life just isn't right. Sometimes it's not even clear what's off, but something seems missing, we feel stuck, overwhelmed, lonely, or disengaged. I work with those who are navigating challenges in their lives & who are searching for a path of healing, connection, & rediscovery. Together we'll explore & make sense of your struggle, practice ways to deal with stress & negative feelings, build self-compassion, & awaken inner resources for self healing. We'll discover what is needed to transform difficulty into growth and vitality.

Even the strongest person can be challenged by difficult experiences, whether in past or present life. Feeling overwhelmed by what is facing you or unsure how to make the changes you want can leave you feeling isolated, frustrated, scared, confused, and/or stuck. I help people facing these issues as it relates to life transitions, anxiety & depression, trauma, relationship and/or parenting concerns. Clients who seek my help are from all walks of life who are looking for someone who is warm, empathetic and listens without judgement. No matter your life stage or circumstance, I understand life is complex including our choices.

No matter what brings you to therapy, I work with you to identify and heal the unhealthy attachment styles and trauma responses that are painful barriers in your life today. These barriers are often responsible for all the negative beliefs we have about ourselves now, that only hold us back from our best potential. Our work together teaches you how to break these cycles while gaining a new, healthy perception of yourself today, as well as for the painful issue(s) that brought you to therapy. You will evolve with new insight, awareness, and love for yourself! It's a beautiful transformation and an honor to witness.

My approach to counseling is as unique as you are. I like to explore the past as a way to inform the present, while using the present to create real change. I enjoy building relationships with my clients through humor, understanding, authenticity, and acceptance. Working from an attachment perspective, the end goal with couples is that they become experts on each other and can therefore better navigate the relationship. Individually, we'll work on the goals that you bring in and practice new ways of engaging with self and others.

You're here! Be so proud of yourself for taking that most difficult initiative, for now the excitement of your journey begins. I feel honored to be your guide & support you as you lead the way. I will meet you where you are through a

I believe that successful therapy starts with a strong, collaborative relationship between the therapist and client. I understand that each one of my clients has a unique story to share and I am committed to listening with empathy and without judgment. My style is conversational, intuitive, and direct with each intervention grounded in evidence-based research.

So many times I hear people say, "I'm just tired. There's never enough time, money..." Life does not have to be a constant tug of war with obligations from marriage, children, work and so many other things pulling from every direction. What's driving you to continue adding more to the overwhelming obligations you already have? Sometimes, we need a little help to understand unhealthy habits and to create balance. But asking for help can be difficult. Will you take this opportunity to reshape your life in a way that works better for you and your loved ones?
