Hi, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am offering in-person sessions as well as telehealth! While I treat a wide range of concerns, I specialize in helping clients heal from trauma. Any event or ongoing situation that causes extreme distress, fear, helplessness, shame, or guilt may be considered trauma. I offer a client-centered approach as although many individuals share similar symptoms or experiences I believe therapy should be individualized. Anxious about starting therapy or if I would be a good fit for you? I offer free 15 minute video consultations for anyone interested. Best form of contact is through email.

We are a licensed mental health group in Oregon, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia providing video therapy with quick availability and flexible appointments to meet your needs.

Whether past trauma or current feelings of anxiety/depression brought you here, assessing your emotional needs and creating boundaries to promote emotional wellness is difficult.

Using your strengths, emotional resilience, and willingness to heal, I will guide you through processing trauma and emotional challenges to make changes that permanently stick. You deserve peace in your own life and relationships; I am ready to make that leap with you.

I believe that the ability to grow and change lies within us all. My goal is to provide a supportive environment so that my clients can explore and discover their inner strengths.

I strive to assist clients in developing the skills necessary for self-empowerment, and improvement of the overall quality of their lives. I use an eclectic blend of therapeutic modalities to achieve this with the individuals that I work with.

Life feels impossibly hard. Maybe you’ve felt this way since you were a kid, or maybe something changed. You wonder if you’ll ever start enjoying life again. This may feel like physical symptoms: fatigue, headaches, stomachaches, or it may be internal with racing thoughts, anxiety and constant worry. You know something needs to change, but you don’t know where to start. You wonder if it’s all in your head.

Mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, anger, stress, etc., are just that- symptoms! These symptoms are our bodies way of telling us "something's not right" or "there needs to be a change here." It is imperative that we are mindful in listening to our bodies, and intentionally work to meet our emotional needs. In therapy, we dedicate time to build insight, strengthen more compassionate mindsets, and learn coping skills which regulate our bodies.

Life is sometimes messy and we all need a little help occasionally to navigate the real life struggles that come along. I am a caring, down to earth person who is committed to helping you discover your own best solutions to life's challenges. I don't pretend to know what I don't know. If I can't help you, I will help you find someone who can.
