Most of us humans have experienced trauma or simply too much stress. Thoughts, body sensations, and images/memories/dreams can cause more emotional and physical pain--and vice versa. To get rid of these unwanted things completely may be expected goals; but to diminish and manage them with less pain or tension is more realistic. To be understood by others, to feel more safe, to feel supported, to receive usable feedback and new ideas--these are goals I will surely help any client experience. Somatic Experiencing facilitates clients in moving forward, at their own pace, building more resilience self-acceptance and confidence.

We live in a stressful, complex, and contradictory world. And though you do your best to cope with the chaos around you, sometimes it gets overwhelming. The chaos can make you question your decisions - sometimes it can even make you question who and how you are. Why are there so many obstacles to the life and relationships you want? Shouldn’t there be a clearer path? It can be so hard to navigate through the noise. Craving to connect more fully but end up feeling needy and more alone. Wanting to feel safe, but unease grows and bleeds through. Striving to be authentic, but there is so much noise it is hard to hear your true self.

I feel honored to build trusting relationships with my clients. I have an eye for finding strengths, and I really enjoy helping people navigate their way through difficult times, using their skills and strengths they didn’t realize they had. Life is often unfair and unjust, but I believe everyone deserves to find a sense of security and peace. I love helping clients foster their unique talents to build a more joyous daily life. Individual perspectives can be shaped by our early experiences and, it can be helpful to look at behaviors today, and tease out old coping strategies that are no longer useful.

Therapy transformed my life when I was referred to a counselor years ago as a teen. Since then, I have wanted to provide this type of support and to serve as a guide for others through difficult times in life. I aspire to help my clients tap into their own inner strengths, so they can ultimately live more freely, fully and authentically. I take a client-centered approach, and help my clients identify their own goals for themselves.

Are you feeling like life’s just a lot right now—like your mind won’t slow down and everything feels a little too heavy. Stress might be making you snappy with the people you care about, or maybe you just feel stuck and drained. What you really need is some breathing room and someone in your corner to help make sense of the chaos. You're not just looking to talk—you want tools that actually help and a therapist who gets it. Your goal? To feel more in control, more at ease, and more like yourself again. You're ready for change—you just need some support to get there.

Life is rarely the "should be", always-thought-it-would-be one we imagined. We try lots of things that don't work. I know I sure have. But I've also built a loving, meaningful, fulfilling life on the ashes of an old one. So I know what's possible. I can help you understand what's going on and how you got here. The coping strategies you developed to prevent more pain, often need updating. You need to do something new to move forward. It's not easy, but it is so worth it! Let's make the most of your pain so you can wake up to a better future.

Good mental health is hard to achieve in isolation. I commend you for reaching out to share your troubles. I offer you a safe place to feel. Trusting is especially hard if you've endured more than most. Learning how to deal with what's inside is confusing if nobody taught you as a kid how to make sense of it all. Therapy is a unique process where as you dare to let a safe person experience the hurt alongside you, you'll feel less alone,"weird" and overwhelme of what's happening. When we feel less alone, we'll have courage to try what it's like to practice responses that won’t get us deeper into depression, shame and anxiety.

As an AASECT-certified sex therapist, I work with individuals and couples facing challenges regarding differences in sex drive, sexual pain & dysfunctions such as ED and vaginismus, issues with orgasm, and other issues related to intimacy and performance. While anxiety is not always the cause of these challenges, anxiety is certainly part and parcel of how they manifest. Therapy is geared towards optimizing mental and physical health, managing anxiety through lifestyle changes, improving communication with loved ones, and reaching for better quality of life, which frequently includes: better sex!

I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor since 2014 and have worked with many different types of clients. I understand that life Is full of challenges, and we all need a little help at times. I come from a broken home as an only child of divorce, with an alcoholic father who was absent most of my life. I had to fend for myself when I was in my teenage years. I understand drug abuse domestic violence/sexual assault, and other traumatic events. I have been there as well as those who come to me for help. I know what it is like to struggle, and it takes bravery to admit that you need a bit of help.
