I have received specialized training in EMDR, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Low Energy Neurofeedback (LENS) and Neuro-Linguistic Processing.
It is not about controlling your thoughts; it's about not letting your thoughts control you. I am a Counselor who tries to meet every person exactly where they are. I want to empower you to be the best you, to heal what needs healing and to encourage you to grow where you need to grow.

At some point, what used to work stops working.
The managing.
The carefully worded conversations that never quite land.
The weight.
The distance
You hold it together. You try to keep the peace. You wait for it to just get easier.
But it doesn’t.
I work with the ones who carry a lot and carry it well.
The ones who steady the storm. Ground the room. Hold the weight. Keep it together.
The ones who scan the horizon. Chase growth. Anticipate what's next. Keep it moving.
The ones that bring love. Bring strength.
The ones that get stuck, in the tension, in the loops
Not because they’re failing.
Because the pattern’s are strong.

I have nearly six years of correctional experience working with adults and teens of all ages and genders, including co-facilitating specialized groups (anger management, sex offender treatment, etc.) and developing extensive state-wide resource knowledge for discharge planning. I also have almost 3 years of valuable skills as a School Social Worker, assisting K-12 students and families with developmental disabilities (ADHD, Autism, intellectual disabilities, etc.) and severe behavioral concerns. My Women's Studies background further equips me to support women navigating life transitions.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) trauma focused with emphasis on emotion focused and attachment theory.
Clients often come to me when struggling with anxiety, grief, and marital or life stressors. Stepping out and sharing your story can feel scary. I understand this and want you to know it is healthy to reach out for help. You are brave. I have faith in the counseling process and the small steps that can lead you to lasting reward and renewed hope. Individuals can benefit from therapy for many life situations. Together we will develop a plan to move forward whether the struggle is grief, anxiety, a traumatic event, depression, life transitions, marital counseling or another concern.

As a therapist, I aim to empower and challenge you to think outside the box and use your skills and unique perspective to create and maintain the changes you want. You are the director of your own life. Sometimes, life can be challenging, things change, and sometimes we feel stuck. In life, we experience both positive and negative complex emotions and processing them can feel overwhelming.

"Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you deal with it is what makes the difference." ~ Virginia Satir. The journey of life is filled with so many "bumps in the road" - illness, loss, family adjustments, physical changes. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and out of balance, making it increasingly difficult to function in daily life. It's important to take the time to recognize and heal the emotional change that accompanies life's unexpected twists and turns. I look forward to walking this path with you...it is an honor.

As a therapist, my mission has been to help people come to a place where they realize that they are never too lost or never to broken to heal, to thrive, to love and be loved in return. I understand that there are neurological disorders and also times that medication is necessary, but I also strongly believe that a lot of our day to day struggles are rooted in our attachment relationships with ourselves and others along with trauma that we may or may not be aware of in our lives that has not been healed.

I offer a compassionate and open environment to explore and release the obstacles that cause us to limit our full potential. I believe that we experience conditions such as anxiety, depression, etc. when we are living incongruently from our true nature or essence. Often times, experiencing these strong emotional symptoms is the first sign that we are living out of balance. The longer the imbalance is present, the more susceptible our bodies become to developing disease. Working through and releasing emotional blocks is an important step towards full integration of the body, mind, and spirit.

Life can be overwhelming at times, causing us to feel anxious, depressed, lose our sense of self and affect our ability to have and maintain healthy relationships. Having someone to unpack all of these feelings with, gain insight into why we feel the way we do and ultimately choose differently for ourselves is so empowering.
