My approach to therapy is person-centered and humanistic, focused on the unique human experience of each individual. I deeply value authenticity and prioritize cultivating genuine relationships with my clients. I work with adults who want to live more freely and fully, whether you are experiencing a diagnosable mental health condition such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, or are simply ready to incite positive change or become unstuck from hard-wired, unconscious patterns in your life.

Trauma can be a difficult subject to talk about. Often we minimize or compare our experiences with those of our friends who are somehow more valid. We struggle to name our trauma, but trauma includes impactful events like not having our needs met growing up or a significant break-up. Chronic trauma is stored in the body and can manifest as feeling on edge, feeling overstimulated, or people-pleasing. As a former EMT, I understand how these experiences can manifest somatically. I specialize in complex trauma and attachment wounds, and support individuals through life transitions, grief, medical trauma, chronic illness, and OCD.

It is my passion to help YOU evolve! By choice or necessity, we are motivated to seek change and balance. The desire can grow to be so strong that it pains us. It causes us to act against our authentic self. This can be expressed through substance abuse, depression & anxiety or complicated interpersonal relationships. My therapy approach is about resolving problems using a relational and collaborative style.

Accepting NEW clients! My counseling approach focuses on providing holistic, wellness-based care where we balance an exploration and deep understanding of your inner world with an energetic and emotional release of past pain and old patterns. I aim for every client to leave sessions feeling energized and in greater alignment with themselves and the world around them, as well as, a sense of fulfillment, balance, and peace. I utilize body-based and experiential techniques from a trauma-informed lens to address stuck energy and wounds from the past.

*Now taking new clients - January 2022* Trauma, whether recent or past, abrupt or occurring over a long time, can disrupt your life in significant ways. It can be scary to begin the process of change - who will you be when things are different? I know from personal experience what trauma can do and how therapy can change the trajectory of your life. I'm dedicated to offering compassionate and effective therapies for trauma and the grief that so often accompanies it to those who require a competent and supportive therapist to provide immediate support and understanding.

Individual therapy: I am a licensed counselor and have been in the mental health field since 2002 & started my practice in 2007. My approach stems from a cognitive-behavioral model which dictates that a client is able to re-learn automatic belief systems as well as behavior patterns. I facilitate each counseling session from a person-centered approach, which considers the client to be the most important aspect of the counseling process. The choice to make changes is yours, however, it takes work!

You're experiencing transition and everything feels like it is crumbling around you. You're seeing things differently and through a new lens. You're feeling anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed.

It's time to empower yourself and rewrite your story. It's time to finally show up for yourself by embodying your most authentic, unique self. You’re making the choice to transform your life now.

Now doing In Person Myofascial Release! Talk therapy will remain virtual. Let me help you make some big shifts in your life! Most of the reason why we sabotage or ruin our progress is because our unconscious self is driving our behaviors. I can help you to bring those unconscious beliefs into your awareness so you can change your behaviors that don't serve you anymore. As a body-centered therapist (LPC and LMT), I help people who may be stuck in their healing process and are in need of deep and active work. By utilizing both psychotherapy and Myofascial Release, I help clients heal more effectively.

Breathe... Now breathe again. Let go of negative emotions and thoughts, and allow more of what you really, really want. No matter what obstacles are presenting in your life experience right now, we can begin an integrative journey together, with a simple breath. Feelings and emotions are true indicators to help guide you to what you want more of in life. We can focus and become more aware of choices and positive options, and ultimately remove self-limiting beliefs. We can learn to make decisions with more clarity and awareness, leading you to a more joyful and fuller life.

Are you feeling stuck,anxious,or depressed? These days I believe we all need help finding light at the end of the tunnel. On top of that, it isn't easy to find a therapist you resonate with.

People and their stories have always inspired and humbled me. Helping others to walk through their shadows and experience the light is a true gift. Earlier in my life I went through some difficult experiences. The wilderness, music, art, and movement helped me to feel and learn to move through those hardships. My connection with the natural world has revealed my inner potential and helped me to heal from traumas. I am dedicated to incorporating my knowledge of therapy, relationship to the natural world, yoga and expressive arts for each person I work with. I believe in feeling all of the human emotions with balance and intention.
