I am a down to earth therapist and am committed to understanding and helping the WHOLE person, not just bits and pieces. My style tends to focus more on empowering and starting where you are, but going in a direction you feel most comfortable with. I am a veteran wife and have seen the effect of how time in the military can affect the family structure both negatively and positively. I've also struggled with Chronic Lyme Disease for over 20 years so I can empathize with issues that can be associated with chronic illness, both mentally and physically. I'm highly skilled in navigating through life with kids and Lyme Disease/PANS.
Everyone is unique and has thier own struggles. I am here to help you and only you. I specialize in trauma-focused issues, anxiety and depressive disorders, bipolar and borderline personality difficulties, child abuse and parental custody issues, and teenage behavioral issues.
Mental health issues are some of the most difficult struggles someone can go through in their lives. It hurts in ways that are sometimes difficult to understand within ourselves let alone help others understand. Well I'm here to understand and go at a pace that fits your comfort level.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma treatments, utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, coupled with mindfulness training, and breath work among various other modalities. EMDR adds a nice touch for those who want to get right down to business and work through their traumas with less traditional talk therapy. Patients often see change and progress at a pace they are comfortable with.

I use more of a holistic and informal therapy approach. We can begin where you are, breaking down thought processes that've made you feel stuck in the past and present, and formulate solutions to move forward. We can access interventions specific to what you are dealing with such as: breathwork/mindfulness, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, and Acceptance based.
