Sometimes we feel emotionally numb because of past or present experiences. Maybe the memory of your experiences trigger discomfort, isolation, or thoughts of regret, & you’re tired of being controlled by your past. You want to feel happy & show-up fully for your friends, family, & partner, but you just can’t seem to shake it off enough to be present.

Welcome! As a therapist who specializes in trauma recovery as well as inner journey work, I am experienced in helping my clients find their joy and express their most authentic selves, from deep healing to a more coaching style of transformational guidance. Using mindfulness, radical compassion, somatic awareness, internal family systems theory, and EMDR, I have witnessed incredible transformation in the lives of my clients. I’m truly honored to do this work. As a person with my own complex trauma history, I've experienced the challenges of learning regulation in my nervous system again.

For many of us, our pains and heartaches can be felt in every aspect of our lives, physically, emotionally, mentally, behaviorally, and relationally. My experience includes assisting children, adolescents, adults, and families who are dealing with problems related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, and major life transitions. These feelings and experiences can be incredibly overwhelming, confusing, and isolating and I am passionate about helping people develop coping strategies, process painful experiences, and heal and grow so that they can live a fulfilling life.

I offer you a 'strength based' therapy. I use support, introspection, assessment, direction and referral as a way to bring change to your life. We all experience loss, doubt, changes in our life beyond our control. For some people 'Therapy' is a place to re-charge. For others is it a vital experience needed to explore core issues ( trauma ) and re-organize their sense of self and move forward. I believe I offer a safe place online for you to grow. Online Zoom sesions only. I enjoy working on issues of anxiety, depression, relationships and parenting. I am a survivor of the Camp Fire and feel qualified to work with other survivors.

The body carries the legacy of trauma and attachment dynamics in habits of movement, posture and nervous system regulation that can keep us stuck in the past. Therapeutic engagement doesn't have to be dysregulating and overwhelming. You shouldn't leave a therapy session feeling worse than you did when you showed up. Unfortunately, traditional talk therapies can inadvertently trigger your nervous system into survival mode. If we aren't tracking and recognizing what is happening underneath the words, therapy can feel excruciating, especially if there is a history of trauma at any stage of development.

Hello, and thanks for dropping by. Life can be incredibly lonely and harsh. My goal is to support you, gently and honestly, towards increased self respect and worthiness. Licensed since 1999, I have vast experience with children and adults. Depression, anxiety, complicated traumas and grief; issues regarding foster care and adoption; sexual abuse, parenting, and/or child welfare are areas I'm well versed in. I'm genuine, compassionate, and I tell it like it is. Most importantly, you deserve a therapist with whom you're comfortable. That search can be trying, but it's worthy because you are. I'd be honored to be that person.

I AM CURRENTLY ONLY ABLE TO SEE CLIENTS VIA V-TEL. I enjoy working with individuals that recognize that something needs to change and just aren't sure which way to go. Together, we can explore your motivation to change and learn to live life based on your values, goals, and dreams. We will take a solution focused approach, strength-based approach to help you become more aware, more loving and capable of self love, and create a fuller, richer life. Clients that see me will find themselves in a safe, non-judgmental space. We are free to explore problems from a variety of angles and approaches.

With warmth, openness, compassion, and collaboration, I work to create a safe and supportive space to help individuals and families to overcome challenges, work through trauma, loss, and adversity, and manage difficult emotions, while uplifting their strengths and resilience. My areas of expertise include infant, early childhood, and perinatal mental health, complex trauma, issues related to parenting, disruptions in early attachment, and developmental/behavioral concerns.

You're tired of second guessing every decision, feeling stuck between replaying the past and worrying about the future. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but still feel like you fall short. You’re tired of feeling judged, most of all by yourself. You're ready to get back to the present without all the overwhelm, confusion, or self doubt. Life doesn't have to be like this! There is hope for the joyful life you're looking for. Working with me helps you reconnect with what’s important so you can find direction to build a meaningful, fulfilling life.

It's been a long road to get to where things are right now, and each of us have traveled our own way to get here. Where you go from here with therapy is no one else's process but your own, so you should be able to find a therapist that treats you and your needs individually, without judgment or assumptions. Rather than trying to generalize what works based on my experience, I enjoy the process of finding out what works for you and aligns with where you want to go next. If you're here and don't know where to go or how to get there that is okay! Therapy can also be a process of discovery.

At Kokoro Counseling Center we help people move through their lives with a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and joy. We partner with our clients to develop treatment goals that target unwanted emotional struggles and behavioral patterns. Upon request, we work with prescribing medical providers for a more promising psychotherapeutic outcome. Our practice integrates various clinical treatment theories that meet a range of client treatment needs. Our center offers an emotionally safe space to heal past trauma and embrace new beginnings. Even in the darkest of places, we can recapture resiliency and joy one step at a time.

Life can become challenging to all of us at some time or another. Whether it is dealing with a loss, struggling with depression or anxiety, struggling to handle day to day stressors, or even just feeling off and knowing you're not living or feeling how you would like to, we could all use some support at different times in our lives. I got into this field because I truly wanted to do something as a career that helped others and couldn't think of doing something where I wasn't able to interact with and support others.

We try to live lives that make sense & matter to us, but life changes can make you question who you are, your expectations for the future, & your relationships. Are you ready to experience a new sense of well-being, dignity & empowerment? If so, I can help. You've already taken the hardest step toward feeling better; reaching out. I use a compassionate, yet direct approach to help clients gain insight into patterns that have them feeling "stuck". I use evidence-based approaches, such as CBT & Solution Focused Therapy, so you can make the long-term behavior changes that will put you on the right track.

I enjoy working with clients that are interested in living their best life possible by working through the challenges that have kept them from feeling whole and emotionally healthy. I work with issues of personal growth and health & wellness by helping to clear the challenges of trauma that come from violence, disturbing memories, medical challenges, anger, addictions, stress, anxiety & panic attacks, complicated grief, eating struggles and communication. I like to deal with the whole person which includes healthy habits, communication and their relationship to others. I work with individuals and couples.
