I don’t know why I do it... It just seems instinctual or automatic. Even if I know logically that what I am thinking or doing is causing problems in my life, I can’t seem to stop myself. Does this sound like you or someone you love? Some of our responses and behaviors are unconscious and are triggered by factors that we don't understand. These behaviors can become compulsive and destructive to ourselves, our relationships, and our lives. I work with people who struggle with or witness a loved ones struggling with compulsive or destructive habits or behaviors that result in feelings of panic, anxiety, or hopelessness and despair.
I assist people with the effects of trauma including betrayal trauma; emotional volatility, addiction, eating disorders, excessive people pleasing, perfectionism, organizing/cleaning to get things “just right”, and the anxiety, panic, and feelings of depression that can result. I also work with couples impacted by the above symptoms and diversity challenges.
I have experience working with individuals, couples, children, teens, and families. Please contact me if you are seeking a compassionate, patient, and skilled professional to help you where you are at and in the comfort of your own home. I work at Counseling is Key and Integrative Therapy and Recovery. These two practices accept different forms of insurance.

I work with individuals, teens, and families who are looking for help navigating trauma (including betrayal trauma), addictions (including sex and porn addiction), anxiety, OCD, or living as a neurodivergent person. I use integrative, evidenced-based tools based on individual needs. I recognize that some memories, which we don't think on purpose, can make us react in ways that are hard to control.
