My first experience with therapy, was as the client. After surviving a traumatic event, I sought help from a therapist. Therapy proved so helpful, it was then, that my passion grew. While most of my experience has been in private practice providing individual therapy, I have worked in a county mental health clinic, an inpatient psychiatric setting and a residential group home. At the core of distress, we may find some form of unresolved shame, guilt, trauma, abuse or loss. I am here to provide "a safe place" to process those hurts, while helping you increase self-awareness and gain skills to lead a more fulfilling life.

Do your emotions feel too big or like you struggle to feel anything at all? Do you feel overwhelmed easily or like you care too much? Do you feel unsafe to be your authentic self around others? Have you gone through a recent life change and suddenly feel unsure of where you're headed? Are you a lot harder on yourself than you would be on anyone else? Do you feel alone and need some support?--- You deserve to feel a balance in your emotions, a direction in your life, and a sense of safety and community. It may not feel like it right now, but all these things are possible.

Talking about sex can be a liberating and empowering experience. You might be experiencing a decrease in sexual desire, struggling with sexual function, or wanting to explore what sexuality looks like for you. These topics and the entire spectrum of sexual concerns and questions are valid and deserve to be heard. Many folks avoid addressing sexual wellness concerns because of the shame, fear, and anxiety they feel around sex and their bodies. Working towards more fulfilling sexual connections with ourselves and others can spark deep reflection and growth in our lives. I work best with individuals who are eager to explore and learn.

You may be experiencing anxiety, irritability, brain fog, physical pain and exhaustion. This is keeping you from showing up for yourself and your family in the way you wish you could. I am a holistic mental health practitioner, passionate about the connection between the mind and the body. I take a warm and inquisitive approach to help you explore the aspects of your life that may not be aligned with what you truly want.

I love incorporating psychoeducation and EMDR techniques into my practice! I focus on educating. How can I teach the brain basics for trauma recovery and dysregulated nervous systems? How can I integrate brain change approaches and teach new skills for overcoming anxiety and depression? I like to use harmonic brain healing for disturbing thoughts, teach about the vagus nerve for panic attacks and cognitive tools for maintaining balance. I teach meditations to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression and assist in movement-based techniques for stored trauma. I hope to see you soon and we at Touchstone are thrilled to have you!
