I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and I am also trained in TF-CBT ( Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
Painful experiences impact us throughout our lives, harming our sense of self and changing our life paths. You may be dealing with scary thoughts, gut-wrenching emotions, intrusive memories, and perhaps panic, guilt or shame. The loss, trauma, and abuse that can occur in our relationships, families and experiences impacts our bodies and our minds. You deserve to heal, and step into a future where you feel resilient, empowered, peaceful and accepted as you are.

I use an integrated approach that draws from several different methodologies, including ACT, CBT, mindfulness and trauma focused.
The decision to begin therapy and the process of finding a therapist can be challenging, but ultimately extremely rewarding. I am an experienced therapist who understands that the most powerful things in life are often the simplest: to listen attentively, whole-heartedly, and with openness and compassion. I am committed to creating a safe, comforting space where you feel free to be yourself.

Many people come to me concerned that therapy cannot work for them. They feel hopeless, or discouraged, or worried that they are beyond help. In fact, some have had previous therapy experiences that have reinforced these fears. If that is your experience, don't give up hope. We will work together to create a treatment plan tailored to address your individual needs. I am an active and engaged therapist, which means I will not sit back and quietly smoke a pipe while you lie on my office couch. I strive to create a collaborative therapy environment where you are an equal partner in identifying your treatment goals.

Hello! I have experience providing individual and group therapy within the jail setting. I have case management experience with linking individuals reentering into society to community resources. I have experience working with individuals who have symptoms of GAD, MDD, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia, and personality disorders. I find it important to create a space where individuals are not judged for who they are or what they have done. Everyone deserves to show up as their authentic self. I foster an environment that allows individuals to find strength and comfortability within who they are and who they want to be.

I also have certification in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
My belief is that the most caring thing a therapist can offer is pushing a client towards their long term goals, while also recognizing and validating the fact that change can be very difficult! I use this dialectical approach with all clients, however the first step is clarifying what is important to YOU, not necessarily to the people around you. I see the relationship of a therapist and client to be one of two equals, working symbiotically together. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I am excited to be a part of your journey!

I am a trauma focused therapist who works toward the improvement of symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and panic disorder by exploring and making connections between past experiences and present day issues.
As humans, we all experience hurt, overwhelm, and uncertainty at times. Many of us have had traumatic upbringings that have altered our perceptions of life. Sometimes, we feel as if our past doesn't affect us but somehow we still feel defeated, hopeless, and controlled by difficult emotions, such as sadness, anger, and anxiety. I believe that unresolved trauma and other issues can hinder our progression and cause us to become trapped in cycles that we are unsatisfied with. Because of this, I work diligently to help connect the dots between past and present experiences to facilitate understanding, acceptance, and growth.

My ideal client has a problem that they may not know how to solve. They can have a range of issues including occupational distress, wellness coaching, relationship discord, and/or emotional rationalization. The ideal client would want to establish a clear understanding of the current situation, identify clear goals or transitional plans, and clear steps towards achieving their goals. I also believe that the ideal client would want sincerity, science based psychoeducation, and to feel honored in the therapeutic alliance.

There are times in life when things seem overwhelming and we can't figure out how to get life back on track. When life hits us with those moments it's a difficult but yet empowering step to seek a therapist. Therapy is a partnership which allows a therapist to assist you with the needed skills to work through the difficulties of life. This safe space of therapy allows you the opportunity to be open and explore who you are and who you want to become.
