Feeling exhausted trying to hold it all together? Do you dread having to keep up a smile and say the repetitious "I'm good, how are you" when you are far from it? Life is tough and sometimes we feel like all we can do is survive. If you're wanting to get out of this pattern and seek support, let's start today. I want to partner alongside you to help tackle whatever is weighing you down. I work with life stressors, anxiety, depression, trauma, and specialize in women's health (pregnancy, postpartum, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infertility, and loss). Let's sit down, grab a cup of coffee, and chat.

Accepting new clients as of 6/1! Maybe you've tried all the tips you’ve learned online, but are tired of managing your anxiety and want to find the root cause. Maybe you feel lost of what you want or who you are. Maybe you have a sweet kid at home, yet you continue to receive calls and emails from school about behaviors. Maybe you miss feeling connected with your kid/teen due to consistent power struggles. If any of this sounds like you, then I may be the fit for you! I lead with humor and curiosity because you need someone on your side. I love working with clients who are ready for real change rather than bandaid solutions.

Do you ever feel like a contradiction? One day you're committed- the next you just can't even go there? Ever doubted WHO you really are? My most successful clients have already experienced typical counseling and talk therapy and want to go deeper. They've tried all the positive thinking, grounding, and thought interruption techniques and, quite frankly, want to find peace, calm, and happiness without working so hard to moderate their every move. I will guide you through a meditation-like session where you will deeply befriend the various parts of who you are currently pulling you in different directions. Lasting change w/ Self Trust

Whether you are facing small problems, or very big ones; whether you are generally confident, or feel that no one cares or could understand your pain, I’m here. And I’ve been there. I worked for years to overcome challenging life issues and situations before studying to become a Professional Clinical Mental Health Counselor, so that I would be qualified to help others do the same. I believe strongly that a better life is out there if you can be courageous enough to try new behaviors, challenge old ways of thinking, and sometimes tolerate uncomfortable emotions. Therapy is not always easy, but it is rewarding, and you're not alone.

Something about your life is nagging at you. It has been begging for your attention for a while.. Part of you has started to think, “life doesn’t have to be like this”. You’re right. You notice your connections just don’t feel as fulfilling as they could be. You find yourself wishing you and the people you care about spent less time on your phones and more time truly connecting. Maybe you feel troubled by something that has happened in your past. You’ve tried to get over it, but but it still has a hold on you. You feel like you’re going through life on high alert for any impending harm or you feel completely shut down and numb.

I love a few things: motorcycles, basketball, coffee, great books..... and water. I'm alive on the water, fishing rod in hand, my prize unseen beneath me, prowling the deep. I love counseling for the same reason. Searching the depths of the self in order to find, catch, and admire what lies beneath the surface of awareness. My world came crashing down when I was 19. Pain, fear, confusion, and anger were my constant companions for a long season. I began my own journey of healing with a gifted and caring therapist. It was beautiful and terrifying. And helpful.

Hello! For the past 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with children, teens and adults in the areas of anxiety, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, grief, attachment and behaviors issues. I am always seeking to observe and understand my clients’ needs through a trifocal lens of Attachment, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Trained in EMDR in 2007, I view EMDR as one of the most powerful tools in the therapeutic tool chest. I often use EMDR alongside a myriad of CBT, play/art therapy, “parts” work, mindfulness and relaxation, EFT tapping, sensory, and somatic healing strategies.
