The world can feel like it’s on fire, yet we’re still expected to carry on with our daily lives. Ongoing stressors can leave you feeling stuck, unsafe, anxious, burned out, panicked, or depressed. Navigating these challenges while also processing LGBTQIA+ concerns, past trauma, neurodivergence, relationship issues, and chronic illness can feel intense, sometimes even impossible. You don’t have to face it alone. I will sit with you in the chaos and help you make sense of it, at your pace. I have experience treating trauma related disorders, OCD, disordered eating, dissociative disorders, religious trauma, and ENM.

I feel the most helpful with clients who experience unmanaged symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Addiction, Grief and Trauma. Left unmanaged, these disorders can decrease our sense of self worth. A variety of other issues might develop such as relationship conflicts, loneliness, phobias, panic attacks, and substance abuse. Along with empowering individuals to become mentally strong, I enjoy helping Couples improve their relationship. Whether it's teaching communication skills, conflict resolution skills or endeavoring to heal from specific events and issues, there are gains we can make by working together.

“Walking one another home” reflects my approach to the work clients and I do together. I see home as the place where a journey begins and ends - and as a place we can access within ourselves along the way. Home is where our knowing resides, where our power source lives, where our healing center operates, and where our resources listen for their invitation to be shared in service of the whole. I support clients in exploring how they use their energy in relationship with self, others, work, and life, and in reflecting honestly on what is or isn’t serving them. I am a collaborative spirit in support of finding one’s own path through.

I believe that “trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” I work with those who have experienced various forms of trauma, including shock, developmental, medical, relational, and religious trauma. I also work with those experiencing forms of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and those experiencing systemic and cultural forms of oppression. I believe that everyone has the right to a nurturing and supportive space, and I strive towards the ongoing creation of an inclusive environment for all.

Therapy can be a comfortable place to unpack life’s “uncomfortable” moments. I believe therapy is collaborative and that a relaxed, honest, and at times humorous communication style helps create an authentic environment. Personal growth happens best in a compassionate and supportive atmosphere. I am a licensed independent social worker who specializes in supporting adolescents, adults, and families seeking a deeper understanding of how their behaviors and emotions connect to their life experiences.
