I provide trauma counseling to adults and teens by helping them restore balance and truly heal.

Do you have a teen with whom you are constantly at odds? Do you feel like every conversation ends up in a fight? Perhaps you see troubling behaviors and patterns emerging (e.g. substance use, pornography, concerning friend choices etc.) and you have no idea how to help. These types of problems demonstrate that nothing can shake a parent's confidence quite like the teenage years. Conversations that once came with ease are now laden with problems and may make you feel you failed as a parent. If you are wondering if there is any hope at all, I'm here to tell you that there is.

Do you feel like no matter how hard you try; you just keep getting results you weren't intending? Do you feel lost within yourself, and with others? Are you wanting a greater level of lasting peace within yourself? You're not alone. To figure out these things and more takes time and work; work that many are not prepared for. Are you? Let's figure things out together!

I love working with clients who are seeking a low pressure, warm, and sometimes humorous environment to work through challenges that might be holding them back from their full potential. I work with adolescents and adults looking to improve areas of their lives including undergoing life transitions, all the way to processing deep trauma, and everything in between. Goals in therapy differ from person to person but overall, it's all about bettering our experience of the world and how we can get the most out of it! I also love clients who are interested in exploring their identity through astrology, human design, enneagram, etc.

I like to work with individuals who are ready for change. Whether it be anxiety, low self-esteem, life balance, or relationship struggles, I would love to walk with you. I help women and men move away from limiting beliefs about themselves in order to be more present and grounded in their lives. I love to help clients understand the connection between their bodies and emotions and how to integrate the two. I also have experience working with college students seeking meaningful career paths and people struggling with faith issues. If you desire change but don't know where to begin, I can help you create gentle steps toward healing.

Change is not easy; it is difficult; it takes courage. Although challenging, change is possible. In order to change, the individual must have the motivation & be given the opportunity to do so. I will work with you in a collaborative effort to improve your emotional state. My goal is to provide you with an appropriate, caring, & supportive environment where the steps towards change can become a possibility. Empathy is paramount to my practice. My theoretical orientations are primarily Cognitive-behavioral & Person-centered; although, I also use various eclectic & insight/awareness-oriented approaches.

I have developed a passion for helping people of all backgrounds and lived experiences become more grounded and develop trust in themselves in order to find meaning and create the life they want to have. I believe each person is one of a kind and therapy is a collaborative and interactive process. I consider it a privilege to share in my clients’ unique stories and work together to identify goals that will promote balance and improve overall well-being.

I am passionate about helping clients who are stuck and eager to feel confident about who they are and where they are headed. Many of my clients struggle with a negative view of self, work/school dissatisfaction, relationship struggles, ADHD, religious trauma, anxiety, and depression. These individuals desire to heal from the past, be more connected in the present, and empowered walking into the future.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, stressed, unhappy? Are you experiencing a change, like becoming a new Mom, moving to a new state, getting a new job, or are worried about your drug and alcohol use? My passion is working with clients to overcome and manage life changes and transitions as seamlessly as possible. I understand there are challenges - fear of change is a given - yet there is nothing more healing than connecting in a safe, non-judgemental environment, where growth and potential are encouraged. I would consider myself priveledged to be a part of the your healing journey.

My ideal client is someone who wants to grow and change, hungry for the truth, and willing to do what it takes to press through and be transformed.

In this life, it is impossible to come out unscathed. As we journey forward we continue to accrue new scars, bruises, and scrapes. It often seems the world asks that we simply put a band-aid on our deep wounds and keep moving; when so often our injuries and brokenness need more attention and care. As a therapist I take a very relational approach to counseling. I enjoy working with motivated and insightful, teens and adults who are looking for help with trauma recovery, anxiety & depression, grief & loss, ADHD, and life transitions.

I do not believe that a person who desires counseling is broken. My job is not to fix you, but to come alongside you in the process of your healing. Oftentimes, what we need most is a safe place. I can provide that. There is nothing you can say which will cause me to judge you. My office is a safe place. Feel free to call me. The first thirty minute session is always free. I look forward to working with you! Licensed Professional Counselor, Critical Incident Responder, Educator, Grief Specialist, Spriritual Director, Early Childhood specialist, National Board Certified. I welcome your questions!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, National Certified Counselor, Reiki Master, Life coach, Spirit medium, Shamanic practitioner, and Meditation & Spiritual guide. Throughout my life I've had experiences that led me to search for more than the traditional therapeutic approach to heal. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and owned a spiritual business five years prior to earning my degree. I've witnessed the benefits from a clinical approach and have also seen profound healing from a spiritual approach. I believe that for one to truly heal, there needs to be healing in the mind, body, heart and soul.
