I am trauma focused and person centered in my approach.
I believe that we all have a journey that has led us where we are, with individual challenges and opportunities. Events from the past can leave lasting impacts that lead to feeling disconnected from self or others and difficulties with living authentically. I am passionate about listening to your story to work through challenges and assist you with taking control of this journey in order to feel whole and complete. I believe in a collaborative approach to help people create a healthier perception of themselves while strengthening their resources, and relationships during the healing process.

Life can be overwhelming and bring challenges that seem bigger than ourselves. This can lead us down rocky terrain. If you find yourself exhausted, unmotivated, anxious, depressed, feeling helpless, or hopeless, know that it is okay to seek help. You can change your path.

I work with a wide range of people who are experiencing difficulties with various aspects of their lives, including emotional struggles (extreme moods, sadness and grief, discouragement, anxiety), relationship problems (with partners, relatives, friends, society at large), difficulties letting go of negative past experiences or patterns, and difficulties identifying or realizing desires for the future. By providing an open space in which they can speak freely, and by encouraging and sustaining their search for their own truth and desires, I work with them to facilitate the discovery of solutions and amelioration of suffering.

You are probably here due to your strength & survival skills. I bet you've read self-help books, and blogs & watched videos to help yourself. You've probably achieved success at work, in your career, or at home, but somehow still feel like no matter how hard you try, "you're never good enough." Something brought back the painful, unwanted memories you tried so hard to forget & patterns that hold you back on the inside. Imagine yourself one day waking up without re-living your past, enjoying life, feeling more fully present every moment, safe enough to explore friendships, & romantic relationships, & having the ability to say no!

I know firsthand that life can feel unbearable and that some obstacles appear too much to overcome. I’ve witnessed these obstacles become climbing blocks as one walks towards healing. I find value in and employ a variety of healing tools to guide you along the way of your healing journey. Yet, some of my favorites remain Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Visualization Expansion, Art Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. I am also trained in Play Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy, employing a variety of tools as needed along the healing path.

I am passionate about coming into the Here and Now with clients and believe in the healing power of being witnessed with presence and loving kindness. Using mindfulness based practices I focus on supporting clients in addressing issues of depression, anxiety, and identity issues. In session I emphasize bringing the client’s attention out of thoughts/stories and into their present moment bodily experience with the understanding that more immediate change can occur this way. I enjoy experiencing the client and counselor relationship as a microcosm of the client’s greater relational life, and an opportunity to do deep healing.

I am not currently accepting new clients. My intention as a therapist is to help you feel empowered in your process of self-discovery. I believe everyone can heal and grow to be their best selves with the proper support, tools, and guidance. Therapy is a collaborative process and you and I will work together to make the process right for you. Change is hard, even when it is positive, I will be by your side, helping you navigate the emotions, thoughts, and beliefs that surface as you attempt to break old habits and patterns and begin living an authentic life.

I love working with people who are ready to learn, grow and change. I have the most experience working with young children 0-11 and their parents. I enjoy working with adults with their individual needs as well. Children and adults who have experienced trauma and attachment wounds and are ready to learn how to heal and become empowered are my favorite people to work with. I am also interested in working with individuals who are exploring gender identity.

Mindful, gentle, supportive, intuitive. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, and frustration or find yourself turning to unhealthy behaviors for relief and escape from uncomfortable feelings. You may also be struggling to be free of the devestating effects of past trauma. Or you may have a knowing that there is a freer, stronger, and more joyful you that has just seemed to remain out of reach, despite your good efforts. Through mindfulness attention and somaticwareness, that which was previously "in the way" becomes our doorway to healing, clarity, peace, joy, and the ability to realize our personal and life goals.
