You’ve carried the weight of trauma—whether it’s the kind that leaves deep scars from horrific experiences or the invisible wounds of growing up in a family shaped by addiction. The pain, the fear, the constant effort to hold it all together—it’s exhausting, and it’s not your fault. You deserve a space where you feel truly seen, where your story is honored without judgment, and where healing feels possible, even when it seems out of reach. I’m here to walk with you through the chaos, to help you find safety within yourself, and to uncover the strength you’ve always had, even when it feels buried.

My counseling approach is client-centered and goal-oriented. By definition, this allows individuals to experience growth, positive outcomes, and fulfillment by actively participating in his or her own therapy in order to create change. Often, people lose hope when they think that things will never be different. They try and struggle and sometimes fail. But, you have an opportunity to think differently, relate differently, and move from negativity to positive behaviors which will result in pease of mind and promote strong interpersonal relationships.

Being human is hard. Life with all it's twist and turns can be so confusing, what's right today is wrong tomorrow. Quite possibly you have been thinking about finding a counselor for some time and have been "fighting" societal stigma of mental health services. Telling yourself that you are fine, no one will understand, or feeling shame for needing help. One of my favorite quotes about healing is..."Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives."
