From experience I know life can be difficult. Because of past challenges I have a passion for helping others through the storms of life. No one should have to face these times alone. There is nothing to be ashamed of and I don't believe there is anyone who cannot benefit from therapy, including myself. I would consider it a privilege to walk with you through these challenges.
Using a collaborative approach I can help you reach your goals. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques as well as knowledge of neurobiology in my practice. I have over seven years of experience with survivors of sexual assault and family violence as well as thirty-eight years as a registered nurse in large and small hospitals.
Reaching out can be uncomfortable, but I will offer you a safe and nonjudgmental space to heal and discover the strengths you already have in you.

All therapy is offered in a nonjudgmental atmosphere with a strongly trauma informed and client-centered approach. We will address issues, but I will not force you to go too fast, to prevent retraumatization. We will collaboratively create a plan which may change over time according to your unique needs.

I use a number of individualized approaches in therapy, but truly enjoy using my knowledge of the neurobiology of trauma and how traumatic events effect our brains and bodies as well as our thoughts and emotions.
