Let's talk about trauma. How common is it? The National Center on PTSD estimates 60% of men and 50% of women will experience at least one trauma in their lifetime. Experiencing trauma isn't a rare event, it can happen to anyone. Common reactions to traumatic experiences include feeling more anxious than normal, feeling detached and/or numb, experiencing nightmares or unwanted thoughts about the trauma, and going out of your way to avoid reminders of the event. If you’ve been through something in your past that you can’t seem to escape it in the present, you have the power to stop it from disrupting your future.

When faced with life challenges we can often feel alone and misunderstood. I strive to make people feel heard and validated in their experiences. The relationship between you and I can be one of the most foundational elements to change by providing you with a safe place that is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and honest. It can be difficult navigating our mental and emotional processes and responses, and our social environments. My goal is to help you explore and overcome your challenges, and empower you to make change.

My ideal client is focused upon personal growth and healing. Someone who looks at their barriers, but also utilizes their strengths to overcome or minimize those barriers. My ideal client understands at times we all need help, and simply want someone to walk beside them on their journey. One of the most challenging things you may be faced with is trying to understand why you are the way you are, or why you behave the way you do. Instead, I want you to stop looking at your faults, your mistakes, the "what if's" and remember, one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.

I love being a psychologist! Sometimes the job is really stressful, but seeing my patients make gains is so rewarding. I work really well with teens and young adults so if you've got a surly teenager on your hands and you feel as if they're speaking a whole different language then I would love to work with your family. Additionally, I have special training in working with all forms of trauma (everything from sexual assaults to car accidents to complex physical abuse). Honestly, I enjoy working with an array of presenting problems and ages; each person presents with a unique personal history that brings newness to each work day.

Whether you are the person who has it all together or the person who is barely holding it together, it's essential to know that you have outside help from a reliable, welcoming source. Whatever season of life you are currently in, we will work through it together. Therapy should be a beneficial experience for individuals, and I want to ensure it is as positive an experience as possible.

I'm (not taking couples clients at this time). There are many reasons why you may be seeking out a therapist today. Perhaps someone is "nudging" you to get help. Maybe things are so that the discomfort of the pain you feel now is outweighing the discomfort of the idea of seeing a therapist. Or you'd like some unbiased support in moving more quickly to a life you'd like. Whatever is bringing you to this place is exactly what is supposed to happen at this moment. I'd like to find out if you and I are a good fit to make the changes you're looking for!

It is my deep belief that we each strive to be our best selves. This journey can be difficult and requires that we are able to recognize our own personal strengths and values. Clients should see the results of therapy in a measurable amount of time. This belief is where I begin treatment with the clients presenting problem guiding services.
