I imagine life has been throwing hands with you a lot lately and you feel like you're losing. Let's work on developing some new skills and healing from the experiences and people that still owe you an apology. My passion for supporting people who have been through traumatic events, major life changes, and experienced significant loss is rooted in my own experiences watching people I love suffer in silence. I want to provide people with the support and guidance that members of my own family never received.

Life can be crazy, busy and complex at times. It’s layered with joy, sprinkled with heartache and everything in between. At 66 + years young, I am well-aware that life can be overwhelming at times. Support can make all the difference. As a seasoned therapist, I believe one of the greatest gifts any therapist can give is his/her presence and the ability to listen. I would like to be that person for you.

Just because you can manage on your own doesn’t mean you have to. Sometimes just having a sounding board or a helping hand can get you where you want to be. I would love to support you through this process and offer some evidence-based strategies for navigating these challenges. Things won't change overnight, but I also don't prescribe to the notion that therapy always takes years. I like to set incremental goals that can be achieved within a few months or even weeks. Once they have been met, we reassess and can build on those goals, set new ones, or conclude therapy!

Disrupting stories we believe about ourselves and the world takes curiosity, grace, and tenderness. (Re)Discovering who we are and living as that person may feel like you are untangling knots of confusion, emotion, or pain. Sometimes it feels like a search for meaning, joy, or humor. And sometimes it requires sitting with ourselves in the memories and emotions of the moment as they move through our body and awareness.

Have you experienced trauma in your life and seem to struggle with the same situations over and over, not knowing how to stop the vicious cycle. Are your emotions problematic, do you repeat unhealthy behaviors, relationships, have an onslaught of negative thoughts and no matter how successful you have become, you feel like a fake, insecure and if people really knew? How many times have you promised that you will stop, alcohol, drugs and really mean it, want it, yet once again fall short. As a veteran, were you in combat, was your military experience depleting, anxiety provoking and your life never the same? What keeps you stuck?
