Living on our nerves has become a way of life for a lot of us. Trauma can cause us to walk around in a state of anxiousness, weariness, or hyperactivity. Fear and anxiety can be debilitating, exhausting, and short-circuit our ability to problem solve. When that happens, we can become frustrated that our old coping skills are no longer helping us. Let's sit down together if you need a safe place to work out some old issues – or deal with new ones. I use CBT, DBT, EMDR, and family systems therapy.

Eight years ago I found myself evaluating an unknown future after divorce. My healing journey after this unexpected loss ignited a passion for emotional, relational, and spiritual wellness.

You're here. You've taken the first step. And it's a big one. It's a brave one.

Therapy is a tool that can help you change your life, build confidence, and live a life you long for and deserve. I believe in the process because I’ve seen it work - being in a safe space with someone you can tell your vulnerable story to is transformative. With empathy at the heart of my practice, my mission is to understand where you are to help you land in the place you want to be. On your terms.
