I help those going through a traumatic experience (childhood or recent trauma), challenges related to depression and anxiety, sexual abuse, life transitions, self-esteem and stress management.
I believe that everyone is capable of healing, growth, and resiliency. Although life is constantly changing and moving, I believe that each person can achieve the life and level of happiness they desire through self-exploration and a deeper look into their experiences. I work from an experiential based, relational/attachment model to support your healing journey and to strengthen self-awareness. I use a variety of modalities through a trauma-informed perspective, including Art Therapy, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing.

Sometimes the hardest transitions are the ones that quietly change us- a new baby, a relationship shift, a career that no longer fits, the loss of a loved one, or the realization that you've spent years taking care of everyone else while losing touch with yourself.
We're left anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. Even when things look "fine" on the outside, it can be exhausting to carry self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, or the lingering effects of difficult experiences. I want to help you on your journey to reconnect with what matters most and create meaningful, lasting change.

You’ve been in survival mode for so long. Sleepless nights, restless thoughts, and that lingering feeling of panic returning, sometimes unexpectedly, like it did when you were a kid. You’re doing your best to manage, but old habits are creeping back in—overeating, drinking more than you'd like—and it's leaving you wondering: Is there something wrong with me? Will this ever change? It’s hard to take care of yourself when your body and mind feel so overwhelmed. You’ve been putting on a brave face for others, keeping it together for the people who depend on you, but deep down, it’s exhausting. You're carrying it alone.

Are intimacy challenges holding you back from the deep connections you deserve? Whether it's in your relationship with yourself, your partner, or your family, emotional wounds can quietly erode intimacy, leaving you feeling disconnected or unfulfilled. These challenges are often normalized, but healing is possible!

In life, we have to wear different masks. We are a certain person at work. We are a certain person at home. We are a certain person depending upon who we are around. Those masks are necessary to function. They are simply a part of life.
In counseling, we get the awesome opportunity to be honest with ourselves. We get to try on different masks. We get to think about our lives from different perspectives.
I have over twenty-five years of experience helping people view life through different perspectives and try on various masks as they work towards being honest with their selves.

Sexual Abuse Therapists
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
