If you’re the one everyone relies on but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected, you’re not alone. You may function well on the outside while feeling exhausted or stuck inside. My approach is trauma-informed, spiritually open, and grounded in EMDR, CBT, ACT, Parts Work, Somatic and Polyvagal methods. I’m straightforward and compassionate, and we go at your pace. Healing isn’t about fixing you — it’s about reconnecting with who you are and what you deserve.

I have experience working with adults and adolescents in individual therapy, group counseling and couples therapy to address challenges related to substance use and/or mental health.
I am trained in and train others in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)- a brief, structured psychotherapy that helps people resolve distressing memories and symptoms by reprocessing how those memories are stored in the brain; often in as little as one session using eye-movement techniques with image rescripting to reduce reactivity.

People say you are a good person with a perfect life, yet you don't feel like it. People say it will work out, yet nothing changes. Some people even say you should wait it out, pray it off, or let it be, yet your heart is not letting you forget about it. In the end, you feel alone. You may feel afraid or ashamed to even talk about it with people close to you. You wonder if others will truly understand you and your situation. You struggle to open up because you do not want to be judged. And I get it.

I am very passionate about helping people learn what they need, during different seasons and transitions in life. I am here as a helpful guide. You are in the driver's seat and know your own owner's manual. I start out in the passenger seat reflecting back, using client-centered approaches, and body-based strategies, to help you become more familiar with what you likely already know within. Eventually I move to the back seat to encourage you along the way. Over time, I become a cheerleader outside of the car. I really enjoy working with those who want to learn more about themselves and grow each day.

I work with adults and couples to explore all parts of ourselves with curiosity and gentleness.
Does it feel like there is a heaviness that has been following you? Maybe you are successful in your career and appear as though you're thriving, even when you feel unsettled. Perhaps it feels like you wear a mask every day, giving in when you want to say “no.” You feel deeply, fear rejection, and failure is never an option. Maybe you’ve even been labeled “too sensitive,” often finding yourself people‑pleasing. Or perhaps you're going through a breakup or relationship challenges. I work with these issues, including anxiety, depression, couples counseling, grief, career stress/burnout, identity, and trauma.

My work has primarily been with individuals and couples typically aged 21-55. I am willing to see any partner format and collaborate with any commitment level, from those seeking to iron out issues with communication to those contemplating divorce or if marriage is right for them. While I do not have formal training in trauma or PTSD, many previous clients have had trauma and/or abuse and neglect in their background. I have provided therapy to other training therapists. Previous clients of mine have come from diverse cultural backgrounds and I am competent to see multi-cultural couples.

I am passionate about supporting individuals navigating complex trauma, LGBTQ+ affirming care, substance use, neurodivergence, dissociation, relationship issues, and grief. Working with folks feeling stuck, who "have tried everything," or want more from typical therapy is highly important to me.

My work combines Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Together, we'll help you discover hope, meaning, a deeper understanding of your identity, and a new direction in life.

A client who comes to me with honesty, is willing to work towards their goals is an ideal client. Anxiety, trauma, depression and family problems are problems that I treat with skill and sensitivity. Parents who need help parenting, children who suffer from a trauma, teens who are depressed and stressed out, couples who can't figure out why they are fighting so much when they really love each other, wives who struggle with low self esteem, people of any age who are very lonely, all need someone to help them sort out their challenges. "We are all just trying to do life!" That often that means asking for help.
