Life will sometimes be hard. I have a myriad of experience working with issues ranging from anxiety, relationship struggles, grief & loss, trauma, divorce, depression and many more. I can compassionately support you through these struggles to get to the other side...back to a place of stability and peace. I am adept at meeting individuals where they are and tailoring my treatment to their needs. Through the years I have found that a "one size fits all" approach is often useless. I'm skilled at identifying the best way to work with each client. I love my work and am honored to support others on their journey of healing & growth.

When facing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, or distress, we find that your mental health and physical health are affected. The body can hold onto emotions and trauma, so we can work together to release and let go of that which we no longer need. Sometimes time does not "heal all", the body keeps score. Self-care is how you take your power back, and if you are ready to begin your healing journey, THIS is where I will meet you at the starting line.

The negative feelings you're experiencing relate to how you think and what you believe about yourself and the world around you. Throughout therapy, we will work together to help you change the way you think, which will help you feel better in the short and long term.

The journey of finding a therapist that you feel safe and confident with can be overwhelming, but it is the brave first step towards your own healing.

The ideal client would be a person who is willing to take advantage of self-discovery.

I have found most of those seeking therapy suffer from a wounded Spirit: Seriously. Alone we are all powerless over "sustained" long term positive changes. Short term changes don't work for long. No one will change, NO ONE, unless they have three things. I. guidance: from someone experiences in change themselves. 2. Reading. 3. Adventure: which means taking healthy risks to try specific behaviors differently. I have been in this work for a long time and have suffered through my own changes even longer. Look up "Wounded Healer." Then see what comes up in you? Call if you understand that freedom is not free, it's gained by working.
