Trauma takes many forms; often in the guise of unprocessed grief and loss. Loss of employment, financial insecurity, divorce, separation, domestic violence and abuse; all must be mourned. We become stuck; often not understanding our own reactions to people, places and things. Our partners, children, colleagues and superiors can appear to feel unfairly entitled to what we have to offer. Our ability to tolerate distress is limited.

I believe that we all have the capacity to become the best versions of ourselves within our families, relationships and community.

All sessions are provided virtually. I aim to assist you in reaching your personal and professional goals by managing your anxiety and depression to be your best self.

Clients have described me as thoughtful, creative, and reliable with a calming demeanor and a steady strength-based supportive presence. It takes courage to take the leap and set up an appointment, but weekly counseling sessions together can develop a foundation to make lasting changes in your life that your future self will be grateful for.

I truly look forward to meeting you. I feel excited every time I meet with a new client. It is the beginning of a journey we take together. It is an interpersonal and strengths based relationship in which it is safe for you to discover your fullest potential.
