Is your life and your behavior impacted by events from the past? That's a very common side effect of trauma. Trauma impacts the ways in which we respond to every day stimulation and can shape our choices in healthy and unhealthy ways. According to research, more than half of men and women have experienced a trauma in their life time and 2 out of 5 women and 1 out of 6 men have experienced sexual trauma. You're not alone in this pain and I would love to help you through it. Using talk therapy combined with EMDR, we will build a safe place for you to process your hurt and be able to unwind what the brain has been holding on to.

Becoming a mother can be rewarding, but also confusing and scary. The journey of trying to get pregnant, being pregnant, and transitioning to motherhood is often filled with mixed emotions and anxiety.

Either way, I am here to help support YOU in this important life transition.

It is an honor and privilege when people choose to reach out and share some of the most vulnerable areas of their lives with me, and is not something I take lightly. I understand that choosing to inquire about counseling means different things for different people, and that each person brings a different life journey. I love walking along side my clients, empowering them to make healthy changes, while approaching each person with empathy, genuineness, and warmth.

At times everyone struggles and feel overwhelmed by challenging events (past or present), confusing feelings, and painful thoughts, it is helpful to have a confidential, objective, experienced guide to sort through all this. I understand your cares and struggles. Those things that you feel as if you lost in childhood, teen years and even now can be replaced. You can see all things differently, and live the rest of your life with a different perspective, in newness loving yourself like you have never loved yourself before. You are worth it, you deserve it. This is a shared journey toward healing and creating your best life.

You're exhausted. Exhausted from numbing your emotional pain- yet still feeling triggered, from feeling disconnected from yourself & your intuition. Maybe you find it hard to let yourself feel good, or you avoid setting boundaries then get resentful when you find yourself in the same situations over & over again. You fiercely judge yourself, your body & the world around you. Rigidity is your safety net & you allow it to be your guiding force. As weary as you are, you know there must be more for you...and you are right.
