Everyone has experienced trauma: either "small-t trauma" such as grief/loss, verbal abuse/bullying, injuries/illnesses, or instability in the home or "large-T trauma" such as rape, assault, physical/sexual abuse, or debilitating injury/illness. As a result of trauma, some individuals experience disruptive memories and/or emotional distress from current situations. I assist clients in gaining insight on their situations as well as the development of specific skills and behaviors that will help to reduce emotional distress. I believe that every client has the ability to heal from trauma.

My intention as a psychotherapist is to create a comforting environment where people can bring their life challenges and trauma to work through without the fear of being judged or harmed. In sessions, I use a person-centered and strength-based lens in order to build the best possible therapeutic relationship with my clients. I approach each individual as whole beings by paying attention to the emotional, physical, spiritual, and societal components that make us all human. It is a joy to come alongside my clients with compassion, empathy, and support.

I believe that each person is the expert of their own experience. My role is not to tell you how to lead your life, but to listen and understand changes you want for yourself. Most of us have a difficult time being observers of our own thoughts and emotions, and my goal is to guide you. We do have good evidence that people begin to feel better when they feel heard. Together, we will create a collaborative, you-centered therapeutic relationship that supports the development of your personal insights with practical coping skills that help you live more fully in ways that are important to you.

Each of us face challenges of all sizes every day and sometimes those challenges begin to weigh on us and take a toll. In today’s world many of us are facing a great deal of pressure to be all we can be without an opportunity to stop and consider who we really want to be; without a way to release that stress we often begin to feel overwhelmed. Counseling provides that opportunity to work through life’s stress piece by piece, rather than taking on life’s challenges all at once and beginning to better understand yourself in the process.

We all want to live a life full of happiness, joy, and meaning. However, life can be difficult at times, making this a challenge to do. I strongly believe you have the skills and ability to successfully traverse through these tough times. However, sometimes this is very demanding, but this is not indicative of your ability to deal with things. Over the course of my career in mental health I have had the honor of meeting many people who were able to do this. My role, collaborating with them, has been to act as a companion, sometimes a guide, and sometimes a sounding board, to assist them in making this happen.
