Your current life situations do not have to predict your tomorrow. If you are ready to move away from the past I can help. My passion is to help others find freedom from the issues that are causing difficulties and pain. Freedom comes from resolving the issues that are causing the difficulties. Freedom can be found in many forms such as: mending relationships, putting an addiction to rest, developing boundaries, facing depression and anxiety or rebuilding a broken marriage. The road to tomorrow is paved by the work you do today.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my approach to therapy. I have over 5 years of experience working with people to heal trauma. Traumatic events could include any experience a person perceived as threatening. My therapeutic modality is using a combination of Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Relationship Focusing (IRF).

I love to work with people who have spent considerable time in talk therapy and are now looking for alternative approaches.

You did it. You managed to scroll this far. You've been looking for answers to questions you may have never thought you would have. It may be hard to imagine that you find yourself in this space, needing help to find your inner strength. Whether it's you or your teenager, or child, there is hope to find peace and healing. We all find ourselves at a crossroad or in a challenging situation that we didn't expect, but that doesn't mean you can't find your way through it.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who enjoys working with young people. Like adults, a young person can experience interpersonal, emotional and behavioral difficulties usually as a result of stress. I use creative therapeutic interventions to help you better express feelings and resolve problems. I can offer special insight into learning difficulties and school issues. I understand that kids can have struggles that aren't easy to work through alone. Sometimes it seems easier just to hide from your problems, but facing difficult issues with a safe person can have a much healthier outcome.
