Psychologist M. Scott Peck wrote in his besting selling work 'The Road Less Traveled' that "The attempt to avoid legitimate suffering lies at the root of all emotional illness." I have found this to be true in both my professional and personal life. My goal as a trauma-focused therapist to is assist clients to move into their emotional pain rather than away from it with the belief that the only way out of suffering is through.

One of my favorite song lyrics right now is from the Lumineers, "it is better to feel pain than nothing at all." My work with clients looks like providing them someone to walk through the pain with so that they can create room for the joy that will follow. I work with clients through the attachment and emotional lens to help them create love and relationship that feels safe again.

Have you been feeling unsure of your life's purpose? Do you continue to hit forks in the road and fail to find the path to healing? Does it feel like other people got a handbook on how to handle emotions, relationships, and work-life balance, but you were left off the list? If you answered "yes" to these questions, we may be a great fit.

I am honored to work with Children, Adolescents and Families.

Do you struggle with fear, anxiety, worry or depression? Do you avoid situations because of difficult emotions? Does your anxiety and avoidance interfere with your quality of life? Or do you feel everything in your life needs to be perfect? I am passionate about helping individuals learn to thrive again by using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure-Response Prevention Therapy (ERP). I use an integrative approach to create a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment in which individuals can explore and grow.

Finding a therapist can be challenging, and I consider it an honor to sit with people as they share themselves and their lives. My specialty is working with people experiencing infertility and other perinatal and postnatal issues. The process of becoming pregnant, having a baby, and adjusting to parenthood is not always an easy one and often filled with difficulty and heartbreak. People can experience a roller coaster of emotions including sadness, anger, shame, anxiety, etc. My hope is to help people gain understanding and peace no matter where they are in their reproductive story.

It is my mission to provide an authentic and safe therapeutic environment in which women, teens and members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities feel empowered to live the lives they long for and deserve. I find joy in helping members from marginalized communities move past shame, trauma and self-doubt which is why I founded Hampton House Counseling. At Hampton House it is our mission to provide therapy for those who have struggled to feel safe, seen, and understood.

In my work, I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, non-judgmental space for personal growth and healing, where your full authentic self is welcomed.

I love working with motivated clients who are ready to address some hard issues. I am often inspired by people's bravery when they are ready to face issues head on. Therapy is about progress, not perfection and I want to walk side by side with those who are striving for progress.

Life can be challenging or uncertain at times. When you feel overwhelmed or unprepared for a life challenge, it may be good to seek the support of a trained professional. I am prepared to support those who are grieving from a personal loss, including death, loss of a relationship, transitioning jobs, and other losses. Grief can have a significant impact on one's life and physical health. It can drain you of the energy needed to move forward in your life. Contact me for further information on how I can support you in reaching your goals of improved mental health.
