Relationship Trauma? I primarily work with clients who have concerns of past childhood trauma, relationship trauma, and religious trauma, which often cause struggles of depression, anxiety, toxic relationships, or relationship struggles, parenting problems, people pleasing, anger management difficulties, career challenges and adjusting to major life changes. I am non-judgmental, direct, and empowering in my counseling style. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Is anxiety, depression, anger, or frustration interfering in the quality of your life? Are you feeling overwhelmed by a major transition in your life, or watching your teenager or spouse struggle? Are you questioning an important relationship in your life? I can help change patterns of behavior that no longer work, and help you learn more effective problem solving, coping and stress management skills. You can and will engage in life again.

Your mental health matters! I'm here to help! Taking the next step can be intimidating and difficult, but a different perspective may help you create balance and a renewed sense of stability. It is my intention to help you expand your life beyond the “couch,” where even the smallest of adjustments can make a huge impact. One of the most crucial parts of the therapeutic process is connection. I approach each session with warmth and an empathetic, listening ear to provide you a space where you feel heard, understood, and hopeful for your future.

I want to start off by saying that I am proud of you for taking the first step in healing! Making the choice to seek out therapy can be a tough one, choosing your therapist shouldn’t be.

It is important to me that your therapy space is inclusive, trauma informed and person centered.
