You may be dealing with past or recent trauma; anxiety; depression; feelings of emptiness; relationship difficulties; artistic impasse; chronic or terminal illness; existential anxiety; or other concerns.

I believe YOU are THE EXPERT of your own life. One's perspective often limits one's view of problems and blocks one's intentions, desires, and dreams. I come alongside you in your journey and guide you as you discover that problems are not permanent attachments but issues which can be transformed into manageable catalysts for change. Change requires a plan which involves steps leading to reachable and measureable goals. Have oppressive feelings of helplessness and victimization become the story of your life? Would you rather optimism and hope? Then I invite you to Rewrite the Story of Your Life.

I am passionate about helping clients discover their truest selves, beneath the layers of life’s experiences, traumas, and negative beliefs. Through talking, we discover the problem… then we need to do something about it. Utilizing specific trauma release techniques such as somatic experiencing, EMDR, and mindfulness and therapeutic yoga, I have seen amazing shifts in a fairly short amount of time. Whatever your goal, we can work together to achieve balance and lasting change.

Update as of 5/20/25: I am only accepting military, former military, Reserves, and First Responders at this time.
Feeling unmotivated, worried, hurt, angry, and/or exhausted but don't know how to take the next step toward change and need help? Oftentimes we need someone to listen to us, reflect, and challenge our negative thinking, while supporting/acknowledging our feelings as we work through an issue. Other times, there are deeper issues from our past that hold us back from being the confident, engaging person we want to be, and this is where I can help you help yourself. You will do the work and I will be your guide.
