The human brain is shaped by experience. Sometimes those experiences can be overwhelming, leaving us at a loss for how to integrate them into the greater context of our lives. No matter how much we talk about it, we can often still feel stuck, sometimes even after years of talk therapy! Through a powerful combination of trauma-informed approaches, it is possible for these patterns to be reversed. I hold out tremendous hope for change because I have seen the power of the brain to heal from deep wounding.

Do you feel stressed? Overwhelmed? Need someone to talk to? I pride myself on my listening skills and like to build relationships with my clients. I can help you feel heard, and together, we can help find balance in your life. I have broad experience with clients in inpatient, outpatient, and school settings. My training has provided me the education to treat individuals of all ages and most mental health disorders. If I am not the best fit for you, I'll help you find someone who is.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, or have daily life challenges, I am here to help you learn how to be your best self!

Many of my current clients have struggled with addiction, depression, and anxiety because of past trauma. It may be sexual abuse as a child, witnessing violence, being involved in an accident, struggling just to get out of bed for the day. Don't give up on yourself, you deserve to live your best life. Just remember today is the day!

You want to appear successful & like you have it “all together” but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or cope with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. Instead you just watch Star Wars, The Office, Friends, Big Bang, or any other things you've seen, done or played a million times. I get it. But you are ready to stop feeling numb and disassociating. You're ready to stop letting those intrusive negative thoughts dictate your life. You're ready to dig deep and change those "default settings" into something positive that you create.

Everyone is deserving of quality mental health care and support. I trust that you are the expert in your own life, you know what ails and aides yourself, and my role is to provide unconditional positive regard, empathy, and support as we collaboratively work together to identify goals and to create a plan to move toward them. I have worked with clients from ages 4 to 64 who have presented with a plethora of concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use, adjusting through life transitions, breakups, academic concerns, and identity issues.

You're tired. Tired of suffering in silence from a history of trauma, a stressful life, crippling anxiety and depression. You're tired of feeling like you can't quite get close to anyone because trusting yourself and others is hard. You're tired of feeling low, stressed, overwhelmed, overstimulated, and like no matter what you do on your own you can't seem to find a way to feel better. Your tried and true coping skills just aren't working for you anymore, and you can't think of new ideas for coping. Any hobbies you used to enjoy, you can't seem to get into anymore because they don't bring your the joy they once have.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+. My goal is to empower and advocate for positive change within you, as the individual, and the system as a whole. The place that we will create together is a safe and judgement free space. I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

We've all seen the commercials; someone is shadowed by an angry black cloud. Rain and thunder only exists overtop their head while the world around them is bright and sunny. Smiling faces are everywhere, kids are laughing and playing, and friends are chatting together. You feel alone. Unseen, unheard, and soaking wet. But what if you had an umbrella? Something to keep you dry while the storm rages on? What if I told you that therapy could be that umbrella. Together, we might not be able to stop the storm. But we can weather it while we run for shelter. Somewhere warm and dry. Somewhere safe while the storm passes by.
