The pain you feel is real, no matter how big it is. Maybe it’s just a murmur in the background, a void or emptiness, or something yelling right at you. Whether that pain is from some life-changing event(s) your life or it’s from something within your relationships and/or everyday life. Pain and suffering cannot be avoided, and no one goes through life unscathed. Growth is intentional and is a constant, continuous decision every day to participate in it. I have worked with clients ages 5+; active duty service members, veterans, and first responders; and other various backgrounds providing trauma-informed therapy.

You may be here because you feel like you’re struggling. Whether that struggle is new or has been ongoing for years, something may feel broken and you’re not sure how it can be fixed. Your mental health is the product of many different experiences and dimensions of your life. Taking a holistic approach, we will collaborate to explore emotions and clarify the underlying circumstances that influence them. We will identify your personal goals and discuss a tailored approach to help you feel well again. I believe in your ability to find healing and joy. My intention is for you to begin to believe it for yourself.

Even when life feels like it should be going well, we can often feel like we wrestle with managing. The first step in this process is to notice when and where we are struggling. The second is to work towards making changes in our lives for the better. You don’t have to handle those situations on your own. My style is to incorporate a strengths-based approach while using a blend of techniques. I enjoy working alongside my clients to collaboratively create goals to help them tackle whatever life challenges they are facing and assist in their journey of creating a life they want.

You never thought you would feel like this, but here you are. You're feeling lost and uncertain of yourself, your relationships, even your feelings. You don't know what direction you are heading or where you should go. You've tried to explain your feelings to those closest to you, but being vulnerable is some scary shit. It's all so exhausting. All you know is that you are ready to make some changes. You are tired of feeling stuck and the changes might be scary, but nothing is as frightening as staying like this. You haven't felt like yourself in a long time and trying to find that version of you on your own isn't working right now.

Part of being human is that we all experience challenges, suffering, and brokenness in our lives. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but please accept my warm invitation into a relationship based on trust and the inherent belief in your goodness. It is my ongoing commitment to bring acceptance, understanding, open-mindedness, empathy, empowerment, and respect to the therapeutic relationship. I view the road to transformation and healing to be a collaborative process in which your personal knowledge and strengths will be used in conjunction with my clinical approach to discover a future filled with hope and possibilities.
