Are you struggling with day-to-day life due to the thoughts in your head and/or choices you've made? Do you currently have a diagnosis that is confusing? Would you like to understand yourself better? Are you willing to make small incremental changes to change or even enrich your experience? I am here to help you discover what patterns or how your responses to your life's experiences may be holding you back from living as you desire.
I am a Christian licensed clinical social worker who has a certification in trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy. I work with my adult and geriatric clients to sort through the "stuff" holding them back to help make sense and proceed forward with a plan for a better experience in this journey called life.
I encourage you to reach out through email to schedule a telehealth session with me! I'm here to walk with you on your journey!

I work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety or trauma related symptoms which affect their relationships. During our initial sessions, through the help of a genogram, we will delve deeply into the issues you present, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. My clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month.

I combine mind/body practices looking through a trauma focused lens. We look at how your thoughts affect emotions and experience. I help you discover your strengths and offer positive feedback as you change your limiting thoughts and core beliefs. I utilize psychoeducation about the nervous system and you will learn and practice mind/body strategies to calm the physiological stress responses.
