"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." This famous Eleanor Roosevelt quote can be applied to many situations. When we get stuck -- in a rut at work, in a stormy relationship, in a lukewarm marriage, with our children -- we suffer but are often pulled to focus on the problem rather than finding a solution. Sometimes, we're not aware of what the actual issue is. All we can do is try to avoid the pain, skirt problems, even pretend we are fine. We are blocked by fear -- another word for anxiety. Together, we can walk slowly through that fear, and find that light.

Trained in CBT and hypnotherapy, I love helping people find their peace. Are you looking for treatment for anxiety, OCD, a phobia, or another panic-related disorder? Anxiety can feel awful. I help my clients find ways of feeling more relaxed, accepting and peaceful. I treat both men and women, adolescents to older adults and couples. Because I work in a college town, I see many students and professors and have become keenly aware of the unique stressors of life in academia though I enjoy treating individuals from all walks of life.

“I believe everyone deserves a chance; a chance at happiness, a chance at love, a chance at life, any CHANCE! I find extreme purpose as I assist individuals to find what satisfies them as well as presented barriers, restrictions, and issues faced in their journey. I strive to support them in finding peace and finding their own purpose.” My personal choices have lead me towards a career of advocacy and service on behalf of the abused, neglected and traumatized due to family violence and sexual assault. “Whatever issue you may be facing, you do not have to do so alone. Allow me to join you on the journey to find the Greater in YOU!”

With an eclectic therapy approach, she strives to create a safe environment emphasizing partnership with her clients in working through current struggles whether that be depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar or borderline personality disorder. "I aspire to provide individualized support and tools to help you create positive change in every aspect of your life."

I focus on trauma initially because what I have found in over 6 years of work as a trauma therapist, is that so much of our present concerns and limitations is rooted in trauma exposure and history. This lends itself to unhealthy patterns of avoidance, hypervigilance/hyperarousal, disturbance in mood and cognitions. and being inundated with intrusions and flashbacks. Many patients that have struggled with years with anxiety and or depressive episodes really have suffered from trauma that has not yet been dealt with. T Fields Trauma Therapy is for you if this describes you!

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy. My primary treatment approach is client centered therapy which allow me to follow my clients lead in session. This approach also assists clients with self-actualization and growth. One of the most important primary needs of individuals is to have secure emotional attachments. Therefore, I utilize a systems approach and attachment processes in my work with couples and families. I have a special interest in working with veterans and active duty military couples and families.

I believe that good therapy is not merely reducing symptoms but helping you experience the “zest” of life. In other words, the main goal of therapy should be to help people thrive not just survive. Whether dealing with individuals, couples, families or groups, I integrate clinically effective treatment with a respectful, compassionate relational style. You might wonder, "What type of people do you work with clinically?" That's simple: I work with courageous people who want more out of life. For people with a Christian faith background, I have specialized training to help you integrate your faith with therapy, if you are interested.

The best way to contact me is via email because I am often in session, so I won't answer the phone. I believe in people living their best life and being their most authentic self. I believe that everyone has the right to inclusive, competent, weight neutral, and trauma informed mental health care and that's what I focus my practice on. I am an affirming and inclusive therapist who believes in calling out systemic and societal oppression and injustices. While I can't tell you a space is safe I hope that my office can become one for you.
