You've taken the awesome first step, of many more to come, on the quest to becoming a healthier, more balanced you. Over the past several years I've provided counseling and treatment support to individuals, groups, parents, families, and children through adulthood who have experienced trauma. Through working with this resilient population, I've gained a wealth of knowledge in early childhood trauma and its reverberating effect on one’s life, and relationships shared with others. This understanding assists with providing services to adults who've experienced trauma at an early age, who may still be attempting to reconcile past pain.
I specialize in treating Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Adjustment Disorder, as well as treating those who are learning to live and love while navigating symptoms of grief. I utilize experiential treatment approaches, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, EFT-Tapping methods, in conjunction with parts' work.
It is my goal to learn about who you are, assist you in exploring why you are, while supporting you in becoming exactly who you aspire to be. I am looking forward to meeting with you soon.

Many clients note feeling triggered from past pain, and frustrated with reacting from the same painful place. Through our work together we will identify the onset of triggers and begin recognizing patterns. Additionally, we will begin exploring and building trust with more vulnerable parts of self (inner child). We will also learn and practice coping skills to continue healing between sessions.
