I work with people who find themselves ready to work on trauma, major transitions, loss and grief, and unexpected life-happenings. I enjoy exploring someone's inherent inner wisdom to reach dynamic solutions. I live for the epiphany, the "ah-ha!" moment when everything suddenly seems to make sense. Collaboration is vital, and I delight in standing beside and supporting people during powerful inner work. I have a strengths-based, relationship-first, reflective listening approach. I work together with clients on trauma and core beliefs to shift those and patterns of less helpful thoughts. I love seeking creativity in therapy as well.
I offer my clients a strong relationship, listening & reflection, and a lifetime of experience to draw from. I have been a hospital social worker, a soldier, a clinical addiction therapist, a parent, and a student of life. I enjoy supporting & connecting with every kind of person, and I am happy to take clients of all origins, personalities, and backgrounds.
Life means striving. Everyone has a story. It is challenging to see the Self clearly without a mirror to reflect your perspective. Allow me to be the mirror that assists you in moving forward. Please reach out and ask for me. Whatever your story, whatever your struggle, you are welcome in this office.
