“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.”- Brene Brown

At times we can get lost in figuring out how to navigate the difficulties in our lives, feeling stuck in old thought patterns and habits that no longer serve, which can feel painful and frustrating. If you’re in search of deeper self-awareness and long-term growth and healing, I am honored to be a part of that journey with you.

My specialty is in complex trauma, issues for women, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and adjustment difficulties. Many of my clients seek counseling for unresolved trauma and grief that negatively impacts their functioning and relationships, resulting in dysfunction, anxiety, depression, shame, or codependency. I'm dedicated to helping clients heal from past experiences, rebuild self worth, and find happiness and meaning. I care deeply for working with survivors of suicide and those who have lost a loved one to drug overdose. I enjoy working with clients adjusting to the challenges and changes associated with parenthood.

I specialize in helping people navigate through relationship issues, life transitions, grief/loss, and women’s issues specifically. I also work with the military population on issues related to deployment and marriage/relationships. My counseling approach is nondirective, which means that I will meet you in a nonjudgmental way, listen to what you would like help with, and work with you to set realistic and attainable goals. I also use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to help you restructure any unhelpful/untrue thoughts that you may be having. You may be surprised to learn that we will use humor in our sessions too!

Are you experiencing anxiety and/or other symptoms from a trauma or change in life circumstance? Perhaps you’re a new Mom or are adding another kiddo to your family. I have spent the past 9 years counseling; I have also supervised other counselors in training and I teach / use both trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy and solution-focused brief therapy, to help get to the heart of the issue and make lasting change, efficiently.

I will listen without judgement and create a safe space where you can openly share and develop trust, and we will work collaboratively to set goals together.
