What is meaningful and important to you? This is different for everyone and can change for anyone in a given day. My approach to therapy is guided by the things you hold as valuable, and what they mean for you; all while using a trauma-informed and queer affirming framework. I strive to provide a safe space without judgment. I have worked with people of all ages who have survived trauma & I also have experience working with LGBTQ+ folks in health related issues, coming out, violent experiences, internalized homophobia/transphobia, transitioning, adverse military experiences, & building resilience, etc.

I am a person-centered, relational therapist and believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship in walking along side you to your path of healing. I believe that you are the best expert on you and my goal is to work together on uncovering your strengths and assist you in working towards the goals and life you desire. I strive to create a space where you feel supported and accepted, where you feel safe to be vulnerable, real and open.

Are you seeking a non-judgmental, irreverent, direct, nontraditional, trauma-informed, queer therapist? Yes? Glad you're here. I'm here to support and witness YOU. I'm deeply committed to fostering an inclusive community and welcome clients of all backgrounds, including individuals of different shapes, sizes, cultures, religions, abilities, ages, races, sexual orientations (LGBTQIA+), neurotypes, gender identities, socioeconomic statuses, and occupational backgrounds. My clinical focus is trauma, sexual trauma, and women's issues. I use several therapeutic approaches, including Internal Family Systems and Attachment Theory.

Are you sick and tired of being stuck and feeling pained because of trauma and past painful experiences? Are you not sure about your life story and what it really means to be you? Do you feel slighted, and minimized by others? Do you have few people who really understand where you are coming from? Trauma can bring and keep individuals down sometimes with and even without provocation. If you have not been helped by talk therapy then art therapy coupled with Advanced Integrative Therapy and/or addiction counseling may put you on the fast track to recovery.

It takes courage to ask for help, especially from someone you don't know. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and clinical pastoral counselor, I work with individuals, couples and families to resolve common human problems.

I have limited availability for new clients. Let’s start with a chat to see how I can help you move forward to a brighter future. If you are experiencing the feelings of loss, pain, grief or a life transition, I can assist you in moving forward. It’s been my privilege to help people work thru some of the most difficult times of their lives, times of heartache, inconsolable grief, being overwhelmed, or reeling from a tragedy and don’t know where to turn. My clients are from every walk of life whose lives have been turned upside down - maybe from the loss of a loved one, a tragedy, or an unexpected ending.

One of the goals of counseling is to gain knowledge and insight into problematic behaviors, beliefs, feelings, and relationship issues. I believe that a person can come into the knowledge of self to regain control, motivation, and self-worth to reach their full potential. In this I believe in establishing realistic and achievable goals for individuals and families that will bring forth true freedom. I incorporate several therapeutic techniques and interventions that are designed for the individual client that includes but not limited to; person centered, brief solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Have you found yourself struggling with life stressors such as fertility problems, chronic illness, marital discord, relationship infidelity, or even difficulty making major decisions? If so, therapy is right for you. Are you blissfully happy and seeking pre-marital counseling with a future spouse? If so, therapy is right for you too! These incentives for counseling have one common thread, a desire to pinpoint areas where you are "stuck", guard against potential threats to your relationship harmony, improve your life, improve your relationship, and become the best version of yourself.

There are many things that can prevent us from reaching our goals and affect our quality of life including past trauma and unresolved adverse experiences, stress, poor coping mechanisms, relational issues, grief/loss, mental illness, and addiction.

I customize my style for each individual and use evidence-based interventions to help you reach your goals. We can work together to help you find understanding, and catalyze growth and healing. I worked in the corporate world for 10+ years, and understand the struggles of managing a team, proving your worth, and finding time and ways to care for your soul.
