Hi! Thanks for stopping on your search. As a therapist, I’ve worked with clients returning from incarceration, experiencing homelessness, and navigating opiate addiction. Those experiences have grounded me in the realities that shape mental health, as well as in the opportunities present at our most challenging moments. I approach therapy from a collaborative, transparent perspective. That means you’ll always know why we’re going where we’re going, and what we’re working toward. You are the foremost expert on yourself and your world; my role is to work alongside you, not to tell you who you are.

Whether you are going through a difficult life transition or are just feeling uncertain of what to do next, extra support and understanding from a therapist can be a great place to start. Your attachment style and/or trauma can have a major impact on the relationships you have with yourself, your family, your friends, and your children. Trauma can have long-reaching effects that can be hard to recognize. It can be difficult to know where to start. When you can understand the “why,” of your thoughts and feelings, it can become the starting point for the change you want to see in your life.

We all deal with changes. Change is inevitable in our lives and you can either manage change and shape it to your advantage, or let those changes manage and shape you. We have the abilities to cope with the changes in our lives. Sometimes we don't realize that we can and feel overwhelmed in dealing with stress. At other times we find ourselves in unexpected or extreme situations for which our normal coping skills are inadequate. Whatever the sources of your stress, the result could be anxious or depressed moods, panic attacks and more.

My ideal client is someone facing trauma, identity questions, or major life transitions. They may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, but they’re seeking clarity, healing, and a sense of control. They want to understand themselves better and make choices that align with their values. Often impacted by outside pressures or past wounds, they’re looking for a safe, affirming space to explore, grow, and reconnect with their inner strength. They know change is hard but possible and are ready to begin that journey.
