I understand that the world is a scary place. Sometimes, it feels like there’s more change than stability, and as a teen or twenty-something…well, that change can seem like an on-going, constant in our every day lives. On top of it all, you’re also constantly hearing the many voices around you that claim to know what’s best, yet they’re somehow all saying different things. In the midst of this chaos, it might even feel like you sometimes have to make a choice: You can be your full, authentic, vibrant self, or you can keep your head down, try to fit in, and do your best to please all of those voices telling you who to be.

Understanding together the reasons and context for your particular behaviors or feelings can help move you towards change, and holding the painful emotions we all carry around with us can be powerfully healing over time. The therapy space is here for us to work towards helping you discover your authentic self and heal.

I believe that your story, your pain, your difficulties and your joys all contribute to your unique self. We live in a world that would otherwise wish us to be more or less the same in order for the world to remain comfortable. What I believe my mission is, is to help you be more comfortable with YOU, your feelings, and with your story so that you may feel ALIVE. And that when you come alive, the world benefits from that gift. My work primarily focuses on the needs specific to women (though not limited), transitional phases of life, relationship issues, young adults and teenagers. We will laugh as much as we may cry.

If you struggle and remain unhappy I'm glad you'd consider letting someone help. Suffering is a serious matter. People suffer from many different and individual reasons such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addictions, or histories of abuse, neglect or trauma. Many people suffer with issues related to sexuality (being gay, lesbian, sexually-addicted, HIV+, etc.) Shame is a damaging experience for anyone (gay or straight) and needs to be addressed head on for change. There is hope. Together, we can figure out the best road ahead. Happiness matters. That is true for everyone, including you.

I believe that given the safety, support, and tools, we all have an innate capacity to heal and live full lives. Our brains and bodies are designed for this purpose, and my goal as a therapist is to empower clients through relational and body-based treatments to rebuild the relationship with themselves and others.

I specialize in treating trauma-related disorders, including those developed following sexual and intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and traumatic loss.

In a world where so much uncertainty and injustice are possible, feelings of overwhelm can be a natural—and chronic—response. Experiencing overwhelm can often produce a state of inertia in us where we feel disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, and our hope. Utilizing an approach that emphasizes compassion, curiosity, and belonging, we will find ways to imaginatively move past mere survival and seek the answers that can be found in the darkness. Together, we will work to restore a sense of vitality and authenticity to life, cultivating the capacity to more fully live with both the joys and sorrows.

With over five years of experience in the mental health field, I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. My education, combined with my lived experiences, has profoundly shaped my perspective on the world. I am deeply committed to helping others navigate their personal experiences and understand the broader political and systemic forces that impact their lives—both positively and negatively. I believe in the power of community to confront these realities, challenge the status quo, and raise awareness among those who may not yet fully understand these dynamics.
