I have a heart and a passion for working with women, especially with those in the healthcare field. I have experience and enjoy working with doctors, nurses, counselors, psychologists, mothers, military members, ministers, and those who serve in a caretaker role of some capacity. I understand the challenges that come with being a caregiver or service member and needing help ourselves.

How we interact with ourselves and others is result of our own early childhood experiences, traumas, and attachment. As we get older we hold onto these psychological foundations and patterns. These often drive maladaptive behaviors, relationship distress, anxiety, and overall dissatisfaction.

Do you feel like you are pretending - that you’ve got it all together and that your life has a purpose? Do you feel out of control or increasingly frustrated about your situation, and terrified that you will not be able to find a way out? Do you, unsuccessfully, try suppressing these negative feelings? Are your relationships suffering and filled with pain?

As women we often find ourselves feeling lost or not connected to who we strive to be. We feel voiceless and dismissed as though no one cares to listen to our pain. I want to build a safe and consistent relationship with you to find a renewed sense of self. In this space, I want to empower you to embrace your authentic self in the full circle of creation, nurturing, connecting and transforming. As we weave in the principles of mindful living together, I want to help you find the answers that have been inside of you all along as you begin to trust yourself and let go of whatever is holding you back.

If you're here because your past traumas are creeping up on you, what you show the world doesn't align with what's on the inside, or your anxiety/depression has depleted you---I want to work with you. You might be someone who has a hard time asking for help, so the fact that you're even thinking about getting it is a big step. You don't have to keep feeling the way you are. Sometimes, we just need a therapist to guide us along our path to feeling better. I want you to feel equipped to handle life’s ever-changing ups and downs, and to be able to do it with a sense of purpose, stability, and self-awareness.

Through a process of thoughtful discoveries, we will focus on strengths and build tools that can help overcome hurdles. I utilize EMDR, TF-CBT, CBT, Adlerian, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-focused, Brief, Person-Centered modalities, and faith-based counseling. I have provided mental health services for a decade to individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. I believe foundations are built on internal strength in families and as individuals. I help couples, families, and individuals to feel more connected and understood by the people who surround them, done in an open, warm, and engaging environment.

Does it seem like everyone around you has it all together while you’re barely keeping your head above water? Does it seem as though your thoughts have been filled with unstoppable worry and maybe they've even begun to tell you lies that you’re beginning to believe. Perhaps it feels that no matter how much you’ve tried to erase ‘it’ from your mind, it keeps coming up and interrupting your life – making it hard to trust, to feel, to focus, to dream, to enjoy life. You wish for a day where you are free from it all and you want a therapist who understands and can help you heal from deep within. I just might be your therapist...
