Sometimes it feels like the world just isn't made for us and no matter what we try, we can't seem to find a way around those things that prevent us from getting our needs met. I meet people where they are and attempt to take an outside perspective in helping them meet their goals as we define together. I also try to fully understand a person as it includes where they came from, decisions made through life, and influences outside of their control. I want to help you build the life you want with your own strength.
I have worked in trauma primarily over my career and found that people are a culmination of their experiences and reactions to said experiences. I want to help remove the shame and guilt of "who people are supposed to be" and help them become who they want to be.
I primarily have openings in person(KOP) or virtually Tues-Thurs during daytime hours. Reach out if you feel I can help as I have openings in my schedule.

I typically work with each person to find the root of the issue rather than to treat the symptoms. I have also had success with people who have been told they are self aware, where previous therapy has not been as helpful.
