“Change” is possible, but it is never straightforward especially when we find ourselves in the middle of it. As human beings, our entire lives are inherently developmental in nature. The complex process by which we may courageously begin to show up differently in our lives, and even in ourselves can be incredibly difficult to navigate at times. We are not meant to accomplish this on our own, and this is especially true after any sustained trauma. Everyone—regardless of age—is deserving of a space devoted to their growth and recovery. I am a firm believer there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem of being human!

Addiction, trauma, grief, depression and anxiety can be crippling to experience. But even worse, they can be lonely and stigmatizing, causing those who suffer to feel distant and disconnected from everyone else - even though these disorders are very much a part of human existence. In fact, science tells us that most of us suffer through at least one of these disorders at some point in our lives. As you review my pwebsite, the central message I want you to hear is that you are not alone, and I can help you deal with these overwhelming and isolating issues.

If you are experiencing symptoms related to PTSD or cPTSD, anxiety or depression, suffering from trauma or loss, career challenges, or just needing someone to talk to, I can support you in your journey towards a healthier you in a holistic, safe, compassionate, non-judgmental environment.

All of life is layered with loss, pain, hardship, and suffering. In the midst of these layers is the possibility for insight, change, courage, growth, and wholeness.

Through our work together, you will learn to embrace your unique journey, finding clarity, purpose, and empowerment along the way. My ultimate goal is to help you cultivate a deeper connection with yourself and others, creating a life filled with meaning, fulfillment, and resilience.

I view the counseling process as forming a trusting relationship with you to explore the nature of who you are, why you are, & the nature of the problems you face. I use an eclectic approach including a variety of counseling theories to meet individual needs. I believe there is purpose in behavior which is shaped by positive, negative, and traumatic experiences. Throughout the counseling process we will explore how negative thoughts & experiences have reinforced the perception of oneself & worldview, and how to replace negative thinking patterns/behaviors to increase self-worth leading to fulfilling relationships and connections.

Dealing with trauma and past hurts, struggling with work, relationships, or addiction, managing depression & anxiety or to better understand one's gender identity or sexuality - it isn't easy to address any of these things. I see therapy as a safe, judgment-free, shame-free, and confidential space, where you are free to vent, confide, cry, discuss, imagine, find strength, and be empowered. Most importantly, therapy is a place for hope to come alive, to learn new coping skills, to achieve personal growth, and to discover you are strong, valuable, and greater than any struggle you might have. Change is possible!

I work primarily with the LGBTQIA+ community. This work sometimes includes specific phases of life that are unique to the queer community, such as coming out or transitioning. Other times, the work includes issues that can affect anyone, regardless of one's sexual orientation or gender identity.
