Life is full of many challenges. You may be experiencing sudden life changes, need a safe place to process and heal from a traumatic event, coping with loss and need a place to grieve, and/or struggling with addiction or have a family member who is struggling with addiction and need direction. It is my privilege to provide a safe place to grieve, grow, heal, and learn for all of those who are in need.
My career has been spent helping survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and those struggling with addictions by providing a space to heal and grow without judgement. I offer space for those are are in need of healthy coping skills due to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. My hope is to provide a welcoming place to find healing.
Finding a therapist can be an intimidating and reaching out for help is an act of bravery that can lead to change. It is my hope to make the process easier and more inviting and would love offer you a free phone consultation to discuss your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!

I often use EMDR in my practice to address trauma and anxiety disorders. First we will work on creating a toolbox of coping skills and resources for you to use throughout treatment before moving on the deeper work of addressing the trauma or origins of anxiety.
