People often ask why I work with people affected by trauma. Why? Because I am passionate about the lifelong impacts of undiagnosed and untreated trauma on a person’s life. I am also passionate about the resilience of people and their ability to heal when proper care is provided and barriers are removed. Trauma is treatable, and no one need be “stuck” with its long-term aftereffects. We can heal from trauma, and it would be a privilege to work with you on your healing journey. Finally, building safety, trust, and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do in our work together. And you are always in the lead.

x- Currently accepting new clients -x You always try to be perfect and feel bad if you mess up. You work too much or can't get things done, and neither feels right. You feel different, like others don't understand you. No matter what, you don't feel good enough. You've tried to make others happy and lost your own happiness. You're the one everyone asks for advice, but you don't talk about your needs because you don't want to trouble anyone. I can help you find a path forward and heal from the inside out.

I believe that a healthy outlook comes from having a good grasp of your ABC's... Accept, Balance, Cope. People often say things like, "I need to let it go," or "I need to forgive ...," etc. But we rarely talk about what it means to do that. Those phrases mean accepting that life is what it is-a balance of both good and bad-and making a choice to focus on the things we CAN change. Then "it" can stop directing our lives-we cope. Whether you need to let go of anger, fear, or sadness, I can help!

Are you feeling sad, anxious, angry,or lonely? Are these feelings keeping you awake at night or causing difficulties in your relationships? Perhaps it is time to consider professional counseling. Within a safe and confidential setting, I help clients resolve current life issues and heal past events/traumas that continue to create problems. My approach is collaborative, within the context of a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship.
