Sometimes the way we learn to deal with life just isn't working anymore. You may be successful and capable in many parts of your life, but are privately struggling with harmful patterns that are taking a toll on your relationships, sense of self, career, or other parts of your life. You've likely tried dealing with it on your own, but are finding yourself stuck, repeating the same patterns despite knowing you want something better, and the costs are becoming too much to ignore.

Life is difficult and unfortunately the world we live in doesn't foster the belief in asking for help or sharing our feelings. Many people feel disconnected and alone and more importantly disconnected from one's own self. I approach to counseling as a collaboration between therapist and client with a goal of helping people re-discover their innate ability to heal and become whole again. My approach to therapy sessions utilizes a mix of Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness-based resource building and cognitive-based therapies in hopes of gaining insight into patterns and issues that derail us from living a value-centered existence.

I specialize in several different forms of therapy including EMDR which is an effective therapy for many different issues including PTSD, trauma, processing the past, depression, anxiety, OCD, and grief/loss.
When life is challenging, we all need support, understanding, respect, and compassion. As humans, we benefit greatly by connecting with a support system so we understand we are not alone on this journey. Psychotherapy is our chance to connect to that support in a safe environment where we can explore, learn and grow. We are not always prepared to cope with the challenges that confront us. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my role is to walk the path with you and begin to develop the skills needed to move through the unexpected challenges of life and heal the past. I work with diverse population and welcome all.

Many of us are functioning well in our daily lives, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. You may notice this showing up as anxiety, overthinking, feeling down, difficulty in relationships, or a persistent sense of not feeling like yourself. At times, it can feel frustrating and confusing, especially when on the surface things seem “fine.”
I take an integrative, depth-oriented approach that blends evidence-based modalities with a broader understanding of how the nervous system, past experiences, and internalized beliefs shape how we relate to ourselves and others.
