What does it REALLY mean to be holistic and integrative? It means - you are a universe of different thoughts, quirks, capabilities, physical attributes, emotions, neurological functions, shortcomings, and strengths. It means problems aren't created - or solved - in a vacuum. In order to truly heal, we have to address the relationships between mind, body, spirit, and emotions. We have to consider the Universe. I work with members of all faiths (Christian or not) to restore the connection between mental health, physical health and spiritual healing.

Getting started can be overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible so we can go at your pace. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and addiction. Many of my clients have tried to cope with difficult life changes by pushing away their feelings or finding short-term coping mechanisms that serve as distractions. My role is help you develop skills so you can listen to and manage your emotions without feeling overwhelmed or ruled by them. Being personally in recovery from alcohol helps me understand and empathize with what you’re going through because I’ve probably been there too.

My counseling philosophy is that all clients are unique and need an inclusive and accepting environment where they can grow mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. It is my goal to create the type of mutually respectful atmosphere that makes room for clients to be active participants in change, improved communication, and increased self-awareness. I provide a safe space where clients are invited to share ideas, take risks, feel heard (and sometimes challenged) in the way that they currently experience life. “People are not problems to be solved, they are mysteries to be explored”. EH Peterson

You're not broken; you adapted. My role as a trauma therapist is to provide a space where you can reconnect with your innate wisdom. Together, we'll gently examine the coping strategies you've used to protect yourself and unwind from the stories that no longer serve you, so that you can return to your authentic self. I love doing this work with young and young-at-heart adults on topics of attachment trauma, family-of-origin trauma, sudden loss, or recent trauma. I typically work well with those who find themselves people-pleasing, overthinking, performing perfectionism, or those who feel perennially different and/or stuck in life.

I really enjoy working with adults and helping to identify the barriers between where they are and where they want to be. I especially like supporting with women's issues and ageing/stage of life processing. I am very much a generalist and enjoy working with a diverse set of individuals whose goal is to create change in themselves. I appreciate working with individuals who have an idea of where they want to go, and we can discover how to get there together!
