Have you experienced something traumatic? Are you grieving? Is life feeling overwhelming right now? Sometimes life has mountains, and sometimes it has valleys. Sometimes when you are in the valley, it feels like you will never get out. Maybe you or your child are struggling with intense emotions that feel impossible to manage. Maybe you feel that you will never get out of that valley. And it may seem that way! But there is HOPE. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and its role in producing change. And I am absolutely a believer that there is always hope.

I work with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, whether from a single event or a series of distressing experiences. Trauma often disrupts daily life in various ways. Sometimes the impact is more noticeable, such as avoiding places associated with the trauma, while at other times it is more subtle, like persistent feelings of unease, difficulty focusing, or challenges in relationships. Many people affected by trauma hope to forget these painful experiences and move forward, seeking healing and resolution.

Life is hard and hard is normal, but sometimes it becomes too heavy, and you need support and a fresh perspective to feel confident, secure and hopeful.

I am a holistic clinician, which means I don’t follow a typical medical model of mental health. My goal is to help you process your life through the lens of understanding that many of the things which hinder you, are a result of difficult experiences and circumstances, rather than inescapable illness.
