What are we meant to do during our lives? How do we discover & create meaning? I believe we are meant to connect with others and that meaning is discovered & created through rich, well-bonded relationships. This pairing of beliefs guides my clinical work.

I am a trauma therapist and have spent most of my career of almost 20 years helping clients heal from traumatic experiences. AlsoI'm now working w adult child / parent estrangement as I lost my own adults son for over three gutwrenching . Heartbreaking years. I followed the teachings of Dr. Josh Coleman and we are now talking. I am joyful. I never thought the day would come. If you're hurting similarly, please come see me, as much of how I can help is to tell you what NOT to do. The TO DO options are more limited but don't ever lose hope. 3 years is a long time, many birthdays, Mother's Days, etc. do not live alone w this tradgedy'

Life is hard, and we all deserve someone that can help us navigate our worst days and celebrate our best. My goal, as a therapist, is to be the person I needed when I was younger. I strive to create a safe and validating environment that allows my clients to be their truest selves and to be fully heard. I believe that the most important therapeutic tool is the rapport between a therapist and their client. I primarily work with children and adolescents, and have five years of experience providing support in community mental health settings. I have worked with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, Depression, grief, and ADHD.

Life is full of feelings whether we like it or not. If you are struggling to identify your emotions and what they mean, you are not alone. Trauma, transitions, and a history of a lack of emotional guidance can make it feel as though you are grasping at straws. If you have children of your own you want to teach, this can be even more overwhelming. No matter the reason for this sense of overwhelm, you do not have to go through this journey of self compassion alone. I am a firm believer that we all have a “toolbox” of coping skills. Some may be empty, some filled with rusty tools, and others are just out of reach.

Life today is difficult with all the demands placed on us by our family, work and our own need to achieve. Add to this the emotional stress of family conflict, divorce, defiant children, an illness or death in the family, and you begin to understand why more and more people are seeking the help of mental health professionals.

Sometimes in life, you come to a place where you feel like you can no longer manage stress and challenges. Maybe you’re experiencing a transition, relationship difficulties, a new role, or you just feel stuck. You have been doing your best to get through each day, but it’s just not enough. You are tired of going through life depressed, lonely, anxious, or insecure, but you don’t know what change to make or where to start. Please know that you do not have to continue feeling this way or go through this alone! It is possible to feel like yourself again, and therapy is a great place to start.

It is important for an individual to be free from the fear that does not allow one to reach a place of understanding and self-acceptance. Whether it is struggling with a past trauma, loneliness, anxiety, anger, fear of not being accepted, feelings of being “too much” or “not enough”, I practice from a place of compassion and non-judgement. When a client expresses, they are ready for a change, I will “meet them where they are at” in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with diverse populations, at any stage in life, including individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Limited slots for weekly/biweekly sessions. Many of us struggle to manage many of life's challenges on top of feeling fear, frustration, or deep sadness. That being said, you've already taken an important first step in connecting with help! I've seen clients who experience anxiety, depression, bipolar, personality disorders, trauma, grief, life changes, anger, and interpersonal issues. My goal is to help you feel comfortable managing whatever symptoms you may be experiencing while embracing wellness and change. I am a culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.

Life can be really hard, and sometimes we could use some help, someone who will listen without judging or telling us how we should feel or what we should do. We may or may not know what exactly we are dealing with, we just know that we want to feel better. Anxiety, depression and other mental health issues are very common, so if you are experiencing any of these you are not alone. It can be very difficult to reach out for help, so if you’re reading this you’ve already taken that first big step. I’m ready to join and support you as you start your path to feeling better.
