Schedule now through my website in my bio! Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself” (Rumi). As a trauma survivor on a personal healing journey, I learned how to help others simultaneously. Healing was hard work, but finding the right therapist was a huge piece of the puzzle. Traditional therapy fails so many trauma survivors. I aim to go beyond talk therapy to find the right modality for each unique client. It is a passion of mine to work with clients who face problems of trauma, stress, coping with depression, and anxiety such as military veterans, and survivors of abuse.

Our brains are the center of our individual universes, the control for all cognitive, emotional, and physical experience. It is always adapting; assessing then shaping and reshaping our worlds. It is equally nimble and fragile, while having the potential to unlock unlimited human potential or create unbearable realities filled with shame, fear, and anger. When these processes are off, we are off. We feel stuck, anxious, and closed off. Through therapy we are able to evaluate these patterns, perspectives, and behaviors, and ultimately work towards and solidify a life worth living.

If you have Type 1 Diabetes, whether you've just been diagnosed, you’re a caregiver of someone with diabetes, or you’ve been living with the disease for many years, you're not alone. The complexity and depth of being a T1D is not something anyone prepares for. Each day, a million factors, constant math, always thinking 20 steps ahead, and abandoning your plans at the drop of a hat…doesn’t even scratch the surface of life with diabetes. If you’re searching for support, resources, individualized help, and a process that will help you heal from the trauma of diabetes or chronic illness from someone who gets it, look no further.
