Stepping out of your comfort zone can be a difficult experience. In order to grow we must take that leap.

Trauma, chronic illness(es), and eating disorders are intense, unique experiences that can change the way we think, respond, and prepare for day-to-day activities. It can also change the way our body functions on a basic level. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment where everyone can explore traumas, create coping skills, and gain self-confidence. It is within a safe, comforting environment that people have the potential to create meaningful change in their lives.

I believe that no matter what you have been through, or are currently facing, you have the capacity to heal and thrive. After working for years, with a high level of success, with some of the most traumatized, addicted, and overlooked individuals in society, I have a broad knowledge and ability to help or assist many who are stuck or feel they cannot be helped.

Many people who have been through trauma find that it can affect various parts of their lives, whether through experiencing intense and overwhelming emotions, difficulties with relationships or generally feeling stuck.

Many of my clients say they feel stuck. Others say they are lacking inspiration, are tired of pervasive anxiety, sadness, stress and guilt; they just want peace. As an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor, I compassionately, yet directly support my Adult clients by looking at choices, thought patterns, strengths and weaknesses, while also identifying new coping tools. I have extensive experience in complex family dynamics, ADHD and HSPs. All these factors inevitably influence our sense of self-worth & how we show up in life & relationships. I'd love to help untangle and demystify why we KNOW better, but struggle to DO better.

Do you feel that your mindset is holding you back from achieving growth in your personal or professional life? Do you dream of success but feel stuck in your own head about your ability to flourish? Or maybe you feel isolated in your struggles as a professional, stay-at-home parent, retiree, or student. I want you to know that you are not alone. I specialize in helping people find direction, motivation, and skills to manage the stress of juggling their personal and professional lives. I am passionate about helping individuals find freedom from their anxiety, depression, burnout and negative self-image.

Lacking direction and purpose, questioning your choices, waking up in the middle of the night thinking of all the things to do? Life, and all the transitions in it, has a way of bringing us to the edge of our capacity, and letting us lose our sense of self. Therapy can help you rework your potential and get to the place that you want to be.
