People seek out therapy for different reasons, & I believe it's ultimately because of a desire to live at their highest potential. Life is a journey filled with experiences that can impact us in both good & bad ways; sometimes leaving us to decide if we are living a life full of joy, peace, love, purpose, or personal meaning.

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) who specializes in helping clients heal from stress, trauma, and the lingering effects of overwhelming life experiences. Somatic Experiencing is a body-based approach that supports the nervous system in completing survival responses that may have gotten “stuck” during moments of fear, shock, or pain. Instead of focusing only on talking about the past, SE helps you tune into the body’s subtle signals and sensations, creating a pathway for release, regulation, and deep healing.

Do you ever feel stuck, repeating the same patterns but unsure why? Maybe you find yourself in familiar situations—whether in relationships, at work, or in life—wondering how you ended up there again. Even when you try to change, something keeps pulling you back. Or perhaps life seems “fine” on the surface, yet deep down, you struggle with self-doubt, discouragement, or the nagging feeling that something is missing.
These feelings are more common than you think, and real change doesn’t come from just trying harder—it comes from understanding yourself on a deeper level.

Any crisis whether it stems from relationship problems, the after effects of fighting in war, contemplating suicide, sexual/physical assault and the like can be a dark and lonely place to be in. This is especially true considering that sometimes when a person experiences a traumatic event, he/she may find unhealthy ways to cope with feelings that are too overwhelming to deal with. As a result, most people don't seek help until an area of their life has been negatively impacted or they have gotten to a place that they don't want to live anymore.

My job is about hope. Many of my former clients tell me that they were surprised and relieved to feel so much better after therapy. They were unsure if they would ever find relief from the challenges they had. That is why I do what I do. It is a joy to share in that journey of healing. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help my clients process and move forward from their traumatic experiences. I love using play and expressive arts to engage children and adolescents. I also have a special place in my heart for those who struggle with eating disorders and self harm.

As a Counselor's counselor, I specialize in working with clinicians, caregivers, and parents navigating nontraditional family dynamics, as well as those burdened by emotional and mental labor who have reached a breaking point. Having walked this path as a survivor, educator, parent, therapist, and creative, I’m here to help you find ways to live more freely and less burdened, with a focus on Empathy, Empowerment, Autonomy, and Resolution. I often use narrative approaches to assist clients in restoring their experiences and developing a sense of agency and control, particularly in the context of past traumatic experiences.

My background in residential treatment, private practice, and DFCS has shaped my understanding of trauma, instability, and resilience.

I consider it a privilege to come alongside my clients and hear their unique journeys. I believe the past can intrude on the present and therefore affect your future. Are you telling yourself lies that originate in past traumas? Are you constantly scanning to see how other people feel but don’t know your own feelings? What would happen if the part of you that resists counseling stepped aside and change became possible?

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
