I specialize in clients with a history of childhood sexual abuse.
Every day I have the privilege of working with the bravest folks on the planet & none of you know it when you first walk in the door. You often feel defeated, overwhelmed & ashamed that you aren't able to "get over" your sexual, physical or emotional trauma. It's also common for you to have a nagging, chronic sense that something is just not right, an unhappiness; feeling unloved or unlovable, disconnected from friends and family, having lost a sense of purpose or direction. Without knowing that these symptoms may be telling us that a past trauma--long ago

I love working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples.
Have you ever felt like life gives you more questions than answers? I know that I have! Personally, I had a time in my life where I felt that way and am thankful I was able to navigate it with the help of an understanding therapist. I also love to come alongside people as they are stuck in a rut and are looking for some hope. It is exciting to go from a life of overwhelming confusion and frustration to a path of thriving.

Are you noticing relationships and days in your life not being as fulfilling as you hoped they'd be? This can be so challenging especially since our connections and relationships with others are some of the most important and rewarding parts of life. When these relationships are in distress, I understand how it can feel as though we are standing on unsteady ground. I have a genuine passion for working with individuals, couples, and families towards enhancing and deepening these relationships, creating meaningful change, and addressing big life changes.

Of course, sometimes life can be difficult. And for some of us, life has been difficult all along. Psychotherapy has the potential to not only address the difficulties that we experience but also has the potential to help us find a way to integrate healing so that we may experience joy and vitality again - or maybe even for the first time. I am happy to work with individuals, families and couples who are interested in exploring and understanding how they may be able to heal wounds, create stability and forge new and meaningful paths and/or relationships in their lives.

Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I am constantly striving to cultivate a safe, trusting, warm, and nonjudgmental atmosphere within the counseling room. I believe that creating and maintaining this type of environment will result in growth and healing. Therapy should not feel like a contractual agreement, but rather a collaborative journey that includes all of these elements.
