I am passionate in my work as a counselor because I believe redemption is possible, hope can be renewed, and beauty can emerge from the messiness of life. If you are here because you want to discover (or rediscover) the joy and fulfillment that have been missing in your life, I would love to help you do that! In my spare time I am a potter. I find my work with clay provides a meaningful metaphor for the counseling process as it involves patience, gentleness, messiness, and the potential for growth, beauty, and purpose.

Life with anxiety feels. absolutely. awful. Like you might be waking up in the morning with a knot in your stomach, overwhelmed by all the to-dos. You have so much to do, it’s literally impossible to finish. And you struggle to shake off that panic that you have to do it all. Or maybe relationships are hard.

Whatever it might be, you struggle to feel like relationships are working. Anxious, disconnected, not sure how to move forward. You’re here because something has got to change.

Trauma is defined as "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience." Everyone encounters trauma at some point in life. While some experiences are manageable, allowing us to move forward without issue, others can leave us feeling stuck—leading to heightened anxiety, irritability, nightmares, and triggers.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
At Assessing Alternatives Counseling, we provide trauma-focused therapy for all, regardless of age, gender, race, political views, or spiritual beliefs. Everyone is welcome. We specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and the LGBTQ+ community and their allies.

Using EMDR & other modalities, such a CBT, IFS & DBT, I work with adults, teens, and families, struggling with conflict, relationship issues, anger, depression, anxiety, divorce, violence, gender identity, family reunification, abuse, and PTSD.
Dealing with trauma and past hurts, struggling with work, relationships, or addiction, managing depression & anxiety or to better understand one's gender identity or sexuality - it isn't easy to address any of these things. I see therapy as a safe, judgment-free, shame-free, and confidential space, where you are free to vent, confide, cry, discuss, imagine, find strength, and be empowered. Most importantly, therapy is a place for hope to come alive, to learn new coping skills, to achieve personal growth, and to discover you are strong, valuable, and greater than any struggle you might have. Change is possible!
