Are you a couple, adult individual, or teen that feels stuck or overwhelmed? Do you feel a need to change or figure out a different way to navigate your life, relationships, school, work, grief, loss, or community? Whatever life experiences you are dealing with, I have over two decades of parenting experience, have navigated divorce and blended family life, betrayal trauma, and living with family members navigating life with addiction, ADHD, depression, and anxiety.
As someone who has personally dealt with life's unplanned curve balls, I appreciate the complexities that trauma, grief, loss and change bring to life. I am passionate about continually learning and growing both in my educational pursuits and in life. To further help with healing, I have been trained in Brainspotting.
I enjoy creating a warm, safe space to share, learn, and grown and believe in a collaborative approach to therapy that focuses on a client's strengths and encourages the growth of new patterns and skills for overcoming personal obstacles. I believe using a biopsychosocial approach helps individuals achieve desired personal healing and growth.
