Haunting memories can last for decades and immobilize our hearts. So many life experiences can injure, and keep us from moving forward. That doesn’t have to be the end of your story! Perhaps you're looking to work through un-resolved events from the past, manage stress better, struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, depression, have experienced traumatic loss, or damage from relationships. Together we work to bring life back into perspective, and provide you with tools to cope. As a trauma therapist, I offer weekly therapy or intensive therapy (extended sessions) for those seeking a rapid approach to treatment.

My commitment to you, is that you will feel completely heard, understood, and feel that we are working together to accomplish your goals. When we are done with our time together, I aim for you to feel encouraged, ready to move forward toward your goals, and that you have the tools with which to accomplish that. No matter what you might be facing, I can offer support and likely more tools with which to successfully cope. Together, I know we can get you to a point of peace and enjoying life just as you should be able to. And you will feel capable to deal with life moving forward.

I love the counseling that I do. For the last eight years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and resiliency of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that much of our life is determined by the lens that we choose to look through. I also believe counselors are most successful when they also have a healthy lifestyle and live the principles that they teach to their clients. I believe that when you meet me that you will find me to be grounded, healthy, and authentic.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, genders, orientations, and backgrounds as they navigate through the challenges of life. I believe that everyone's story is unique and that it needs to be told in a comfortable and safe place, free of judgement. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, vulnerable, afraid of making changes, and/or wondering how they will make it through the unexpected changes they are faced with. Some have experienced trauma. I help clients understand why they are suffering from certain symptoms as well as help them identify maladaptive thinking and coping skills.
