Sometimes life gets crazy--but that doesn't mean you are! You feel different, defeated, and depressed. No one understands you. You're overwhelmed and can't imagine how life will ever get any better, so why try? Yet here you are searching for an escape from the numbness creeping up on you. Maybe you are tired of faking your way through each day and want to experience authentic happiness.

Are you exhausted, struggling, longing for more, constantly committing to "get your life together?" Do you feel like you're constantly dropping loose ends and wonder how everyone else does it? Or are you overwhelmed, overstimulated, and overextended, jittery during the day and not sleeping at night? Has a moment in time caught you in its web and you are ready to become untangled? Are you "different" (LGBTQIA+, ethically non-monogamous, Pagan or pagan-friendly, etc.) and looking for a therapist who "gets it"? Whatever the journey has brought you, your courageous heart has led you here.

I want to assist individuals and families in making positive and lasting change in their lives. I am supportive and direct in my practice and have been able to assist others with moving forward and toward their best self. I work to assist clients with identifying common stressors or barriers and identifying strategies for overcoming those thoughts, feelings, and challenges that are holding them back. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and families to learn strategies to better manage stressors related to life change.

As we go through life we face challenges, from these challenges we may experience pain and suffering. As this pain becomes stored within us it creates burdens that may sometimes be too heavy to bear. As a result many may turn to temporary solutions. As I work with clients to explore and resolve pain and trauma more permanent solutions are often discovered and the burden of pain is reduced.
