Do you often struggle in your relationships, whether it be with family members, romantic partners, or friends? Are you an overwhelmed parent at a loss for how to care for both your child and yourself? Do you find it challenging to set boundaries and ask for what you need? Maybe you feel stuck, anxious, and burdened by past events. If your goal is to become your most authentic self, increase feelings of self-worth, discover your inner resources, and strengthen your relationships then I can help!

I use an integrated approach in my therapeutic relationship with my clients. I am certified as a Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider so will want to explore all areas of your healthcare and daily habits that could be effecting your mental health. I believe healing happens when we are able to connect to our true selves: spiritually, emotionally, physically and socially. I am interested in you as a whole person. I will want to know about your sleep, diet, exercise relationships, etc. I am also certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional and use evidence based practices including EMDR. I work very closely with Veterans.

You may feel trapped in a violent and/or unhealthy relationship or traumatic memories of the past. Your may be grieving a loss and what might have been. You may feel stagnant and that your life is out of balance. Possibly you are a family member of an offender and you don't understand the "system" and how to help while taking care of yourself. Likely you are feeling isolated and alone. Overwhelming emotions may be paralyzing you, making it hard to move forward. You will find a safe place with me to move through and beyond this difficult time. You do not have to struggle alone.

We need healthy and meaningful relationships to feel a true sense of fulfillment in life. Therapy can be a transformative space for individuals, couples and families to reimagine the way they they relate to themselves and one another. Deep down, I believe we all want what is best for ourselves, our relationships and our families, but sometimes the pains from the past and uncertainty of life can block us from fulfillment and true connection. Life is difficult and can bring unimaginable pain. Relationships and parenting are complex. Everyone needs support.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions and feel unsure about how to resolve these feelings? You are not alone; I have worked with many people with a variety of overwhelming feelings and anxiety. Together we will explore how to manage your anxiety, worries, and stress. Or you may be having relationship struggles that cause overwhelming feelings of guilt or shame, or perhaps you are a parent struggling with balancing it all. In whatever form your pain may be in, I am here to help you understand your pain; we will work together to create healthier relationships and develop skills to cope with your overwhelming feelings.

Are You Still Struggling to Feel Better After a Traumatic Event? Have you already seen medical professionals or therapists to help recover from an accident, injury, medical procedure, assault or childhood abuse, and you still don't feel significantly better? Are you * Anxious after recurring nightmares? * Terrified that you will have another accident? * Overwhelmed with anxiety and don't understand why? * Tired of swinging between angry outbursts and going numb? * Depressed because you feel like damaged goods? * Exhausted from dealing with digestive problems, migraines, chronic pain, pain meds?

Life can be daunting, overwhelming and sometimes difficult to cope with. Sometimes, it can feel like we're just existing rather than loving the life we live. Maybe you've had past experiences that have led to substance use, anxiety, depression, grief, shame or feelings of loneliness. Maybe you've struggled to see a way out, or feel constantly reminded of a history you'd like to forget. Maybe you've tried to heal but keep finding yourself in the same patterns, same feelings, same thoughts. Or maybe you haven't known where to even start. You're not alone in any of this, and you don't have to begin your journey to healing alone.

Collaborative and flexible is what I would describe my therapeutic approach. Therapy work with me isn't just talking about your feelings. Our work will include various options for you to choose from such as creating art, writing, watching a video, playing games, etc. Your options are limitless in my therapy sessions. My goal is to be training wheels on your bike and support and guide you until you are able to "ride" by yourself. I hope to provide a safe and authentic space for my clients to explore and process their emotions and thoughts, express themselves, and heal from past experiences.

Are you experiencing feelings of overwhelm, stress or general dissatisfaction? If so, I'm here to help you find relief. Whether you are working to navigate the difficult terrain of grief, facing a significant life transition, living with depression, anxiety, or looking to better understand your relationships, I will support you as we seek to find meaning in your experiences allowing for healing and growth. We all have feelings of discontentment from time to time but when these feelings are severe or prolonged and interfere with your daily life, your relationships, or your sense of well-being, it's time to reach out for help.
