Are you (or your child or adolescent) feeling irritable or tired? Are you having trouble sleeping, concentrating, or simply making it through each day? Perhaps those in your household are wrestling with feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, or social isolation. First and foremost, you aren't alone. And believe it or not, what you or your family members are struggling with may be rooted in grief and loss, trauma, or even shame. Environmental stress, the death of a loved one, changes in physical health, divorce or relationship loss, and day-to-day life transitions can thrust anyone into an emotional and physical tailspin.

I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults to support hope and healing during difficult times. I believe in meeting clients where they are and using a collaborative approach to ensure clients are able to progress towards their specific goals. I have experience working with clients who are experiencing a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma symptoms, relationship issues and various life transitions and stressors. I understand everyone’s needs are different and use a variety of evidence-based modalities to shape the therapeutic process to best meet the client’s needs.

With 8+ years of experience working in the mental health field, I am here to assist you with evolving into a whole, healed, and healthy individual.

It takes courage to own your story and narrate it for the very first time. I enjoy helping clients make sense of their life stories. Let's discover how those narratives drive your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We can collaboratively work to create new meanings for those old stories using components of cognitive-behavioral, timeline, attachment based, and narrative therapies. I am also trained in Level One Gottman therapy for marriage and couples' issues. I am here to support and empower you as you take those first steps towards change.

TRAUMA: An overwhelming experience that is too much, too fast. If too stressed or truly overwhelmed, our natural survival responses can be blocked. If unable to complete our body’s survival responses, trauma can occur and often symptoms emerge. We can feel stuck in the fear of flight, the anger of fight or the depression of freeze. As one who facilitates healing from emotional, spiritual, and physical pain and suffering, I am dedicated to working compassionately, non-judgmentally and collaboratively with you to become "unstuck" and find a greater sense of healing and wholeness.

I work well with clients whom are seeking to improve their quality of life. If there’s ever a moment where one maybe feeling a void, emptiness inside of them I assist and facilitate clients through rediscovery of self. The concept of being fully aware of oneself and how you see the world is crucial to identifying and upholding your personal values and standards. It’s when we neglect our standards of living do we find conflict or that internal battle. Most of the time this happens when a life stressor occurs. My ideal client is one whom is ready to move from victim to survivor.

If you are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, major life change(s), relationship issues, grief, or other emotional concerns I am here to listen and help guide you. Major life events and trauma can negatively impact life if not addressed. A space to work through those experiences is needed; someone who can help make sense of things and give you the tools you need. If you want to work through past experiences so they no longer control your life, better understand yourself, make positive changes in your life, build better relationships, or just need someone to listen and offer hope and understanding please reach out
