I find great joy in helping individuals and families find theirs again. If you're feeling stuck or struggle to find time for self care- I offer online therapeutic support to make getting the help you need easily accessible. I have been a therapist for the last 10 years helping people to find joy in their journeys while healing their minds and relationships. I offer hypnotherapy which helps us get to the root of issues fairly quickly, so one does not feel the need to be in years of therapy. Rather we work on healing the source of the issue, so you can move forward to creating the productive and abundant life you deserve!

This isn't what you expected. Long days filled with exhaustion, and even longer sleepless nights. The feeling that what you are doing isn't good enough; that you are not good enough. You feel like you're failing. Failing your family, your friends, your children, and even yourself. Some days you feel so overwhelmed that it's like the breath has been knocked out of you, and you can't help but wonder "will it ever get better?"

Do you feel your past traumatic events weigh you down like an anchor and it is hard to "be normal?" Are these past memories flooding your day to day experiences preventing you from feeling joy and living in the here and now? Is it challenging to see the real you and believe in your worth? I help both adults and children who have experienced traumatic events and who are struggling with low self-worth to claim back their lives and discover that what happened to them does not define them. Together we will take the journey to identifying the true you so you can have healthy connections with others and most importantly, yourself!

Accepting New Clients! Aren't you ready to regain a sense of control in your life? I was on the receiving end of counseling services myself and what a difference it has made in my life. That gave me the drive to begin helping others with their challenges. Maybe you're having difficulty identifying or communicating your feelings? The baggage from past relationships is interfering in this one. You feel disconnected from the people who matter most? Or you're exhausted but when your head reaches the pillow, your mind goes into overdrive. If you are ready to start enjoying your life and your family, take the first step. I'm here.

Sometimes you just need to talk to someone, without fear of judgement. My passion is helping clients navigate through whatever is troubling them and assisting as they reconnect with themselves in the process. I enjoy working with couples or individuals on issues related to relationships. I focus on helping my clients to understand their attachment styles, improve their communication and identify barriers that get in the way of them having the relationship that they truly desire. I work with singles and divorcees to process breakups, build strong boundaries, and identify self sabotaging behaviors.

What type of Polk County mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
