You are capable of feeling happier, more secure, hopeful, confident and less stressed so that you can fully enjoy your life. We know life will be very hard at times due to relationship struggles, grief and loss, work challenges, financial issues and also our world becoming more overwhelming these past few years. When we experience difficult life challenges, we are more likely to feel a spike in our anxiety and may feel sad and unable to find peace. Meeting with a trained therapist who cares about your well-being can help ease these symptoms and offer a place to begin healing.

Are you feeling anxious and depressed? Having trouble sleeping and having a hard time turning off your anxious thoughts? Are you feeling stuck and trying to figure out what comes next in your life? These feelings can be overwhelming and keep you in limbo. Although your family and friends may be a great support for you, it is sometimes easier to share your thoughts and feelings with someone you don't know intimately. If you are emotionally and physically tired and ready to take the next steps to wellness, let me help.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in the treatment of trauma. I define trauma as an unhealed wound that continues to affect daily living. People who experience trauma often develop adaptive strategies to cope, but those strategies tend to become problematic as time goes by. It is important to remember that no child is responsible for their own abuse. Any assault on a person is the responsibility of the person who is committing violence. Trauma is not weakness, but an opportunity to become strong at the broken places.

Life can present challenges and difficulties working through a variety of transitions, decisions, relationships and traumas. Anxiety and depression is more prevalent now than ever. Whether it is a pattern of difficult relationships, self doubt and low self esteem, self medicating or a dissatisfaction with life circumstances, change and healing is possible. I believe that therapy is a collaborative experience and I work with each client to find a style that works best for them. I do more than just listen. I make observations, offer feedback and engage actively in sessions.
