Mental Health is real. I believe in the importance of creating a safe space that empower clients to cultivate a new normal. Choosing the right therapist can be difficult, yet it makes a big difference in treatment. For 5 years, I have been a counseling in mental health field treating a variety of issues.

To quote Mary Harvey, “trauma survivors have symptoms instead of memories.” In my work, I have found it is common for people to question if they are "crazy" or if something is "wrong" with them. More often than not, the answer is "no." No, you are not crazy. No, something is not wrong with you. Rather, your body has adapted to traumas and perceived threats in ways that have helped you survive over time. When we feel tense, anxious, or angry and on edge with those uncomfortable bodily responses like panic, dizziness, or shutting down, our body is talking to us. Trauma is a legacy of symptoms that keeps on giving every day.

Healing requires honest care without judgment. In order to provide individualized treatment and support, I will work cooperatively with you to clarify your treatment goals and draw from a variety of methodologies to create a plan that fits your needs. My style is warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, with a realistic and effective approach to treatment. To me, an individual should be treated as a whole, including the mind, the body, and the (soul/self)- whatever that is to them.

Are you experiencing a high level of anxiety or stress?

Whether you need to make a change, or to prevail over a change life has forced upon you, my experience and knowledge will help you to navigate difficult times and to reclaim your life.

I love to encourage kids, teens and young adults to empower themselves by helping them discover their strengths and provide them support for all of life’s challenges and joys.

Life can be hard to navigate at any stage. Decisions and choices big and small determine the direction that our lives go. Pressure from family, friends, social media, as well as the environment can make decisions and choices harder. It can be confusing and overwhelming- and I'm here to help!
