I have experience working with those that have suffered trauma, suffer from depression, anxiety, are having parenting and mothering issues.
I approach counseling as a facilitator of growth and holistic health. I believe in order for clients to have a strong state of mental health they need to address not only their psychological health, but also their physical and spiritual health. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults.

They may be moving into adulthood, becoming first time parents, changing careers, or experiencing other big life changes.
In therapy they will find the space to have open-minded, non-judgmental discussion with me about their hopes, fears, questions, and insecurities. Through inquiry into their beliefs and emotions, they will find new perspectives and arrive at new understandings about themselves.

I’ve spent over 17 years specializing in trauma and PTSD, dissociative disorders, sexual pain, adolescents, and parenting.
Everyone has the capacity to grow, shift, and change and I believe deeply in connection. I know firsthand that life is messy and tricky, that none of us get it right all the time, and that healing happens in relationship—whether it’s with your therapist, your partner, your children, or the parts of yourself that have been carrying pain for a long time. Sometimes we find ourselves repeating patterns that don’t make sense or feeling stuck in ways we can’t explain—and therapy can be the place where those pieces finally start to come together.

You’re worried about your relationship, you feel lost and lonely, but you don't know what to do. You look at your partner/kiddo(s), remembering how things used to be, and wonder how you got here.

Parenting can be both beautiful and incredibly hard—especially when your child is struggling and nothing you’ve tried seems to help.
I specialize in supporting parents of children with special needs, neurodivergence, or histories of trauma or adoption. With younger children, I use play therapy to help process big emotions and communicate in the way that feels most natural to them—through play. With teens, I use strength-based & solution-focused approaches to build insight and confidence.

Change is an amazing opportunity for growth. Whether the change is initiated by us or is unexpected, change is an opportunity to increase our self-awareness and grow towards realizing our best selves. Change is often challenging and can feel scary. Exploring how we react to change by following the thread of our reactive emotions, thinking and behaviors directs us to the strategies that will effectively set us on the path to self-discovery and empowerment.

My clients meet with me from the comfort of their own home or wherever they may be. I work remotely, but have some in-person appointments as well. I bill in 15 minute increments for self-pay clients to allow flexibility for my client's needs. I do not require an appointment and will take calls if I'm available to allow for short talks as needed, or call you back as soon as I am available. My goal is to make something that may be uncomfortable and inconvenient for some people as comfortable and convenient as possible. There is no waiting 3-4 weeks for an appointment and or wasting time in the first session filling out paperwork.
