Feeling stuck, out of sorts, off balance? Maybe you have an issue you'd like to tackle or have no idea why you are feeling this way. I believe you are the expert and view the counseling relationship as one of team work based in trust, understanding, support, and safety, allowing you to explore, define, and navigate life's challenges while developing and realizing goals for an authentic or improved life.

As a mental, medical, or veterinary health professional, it's hard to reach out for or accept help. Despite your best efforts, on-the-job or personal traumatic experiences are limiting your home or professional life in ways you can no longer accept. Trying to avoid haunting memories, anxiety, sleep problems, or depression is exhausting and just creates more problems. You may be unsure what you experienced is considered traumatic, yet it continues to interrupt your life. If you are tired of suffering and ready enough to try a different approach, you're in the right place!

Through my life experience and education I believe developing supportive relationships has the power to reduce the effects of trauma for a child, parents and families. I approach therapy sessions differently depending on the client’s needs and goals. If it is the client’s goal to work on a current obstacle in life or lifetime of trauma I see it as an honor to help the client navigate the process of healing. Allowing a safe space for people to explore their emotions and develop skills to create a congruent environment around them and navigate the unknowns in life.

I work with a variety of clients and am committed to each one equally. My focus is on the overall mental wellness of individuals according to each’s own unique needs; I am well-versed in theoretical orientations and multiculturalism. I engage with clients based on their individual needs, as each case is just as unique as the client(s). I work with the client(s) from their perspective and help them work towards their chosen goals. I navigate the client to achieve smaller, accomplishable goals that then create a building block for larger, more obtainable long-term goals while giving the client autonomy to enhance self-growth.

I work with individuals and couples around issues of sexual dysfunction, pain, and differences in desire. I also specialize in working with marginalized sexualities and relationships, such as non-monogamy, kink, and LGBTQIA+. Sexuality is an integral part of who we are as human beings. It can be one of the greatest sources for pleasure and connection. However, that pleasure and connection can be blocked by things like shame, fear, grief, health issues, injury, and pain. I believe therapy can help clients create positive changes in how they approach sex while building healthy narratives around intimacy, relationships, and gender.

Emotions tend to be at their root of what concerns us. The fashion we act when our feelings are something we deny generally causes our dominant issues: depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, sadness. With reflection and foundational understanding we can begin growing towards a better life every day.

I am a certified trauma specialist who has experience working with adults in both outpatient and residential substance abuse settings. My work in substance abuse has granted me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of clients suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and grief. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and I encourage clients to communicate openly about what works best for them. I value each therapeutic relationship and honor each client’s autonomy and individuality. I believe that individuals have the ability to overcome their struggles and that therapy can make that possible.

Thank you for taking time to read my profile! Since May of 2003, I have been working in the field of addiction in a variety of settings, spending most of my time in the residential setting. Working in addiction has given me the ability to work with a wide range of patients struggling with a wide range of issues including, trauma, depression, anxiety and self-esteem. I enjoy working from an REBT therapeutic counseling model, which helps clients understand how their irrational thought patterns can affect their emotional state and by challenging those thought patterns, we can begin to take control of our emotions.

I work with folks who have anxiety, depression, trauma or PTSD, grief or other difficulty. Frequently, clients would like a calmer, more peaceful mind or would like help achieving their goals. Clients may have had high stress experiences or difficult childhoods. Therapy can help you find your voice, identify your strengths and resources, and improve coping skills that help you make progress toward your goals. Clients may want to improve their relationships with others or learn to live with less self-blame. Healing is possible with support, compassion, and understanding in a nonjudgmental counseling relationship.
