***NOT CURRENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS*** It is my philosophy that individuals are constantly growing and changing. Sometimes we can get stuck, feeling confused, helpless or hopeless. Often times we get bogged down by the debris of past or current traumas, or by fears of the future and the unknown. I believe therapy is about creating change and I work collaboratively with individuals to help them work toward their goals for change. My role as a therapist is to act as a guide in helping individuals gain clarity by uncovering the debris that inhibits growth and discovering the assets and strengths that reside within each individual.

When life becomes overwhelming, therapy can be a great supplement to the coping skills and support systems you already have. Every client brings an individual set of goals and needs to therapy. In my practice, I have developed a holistic approach to healing. I encourage clients to speak openly and I commit to listening without judgment while providing guidance that is tailored to my client’s specific objectives.

You're feeling stuck. You're finding yourself feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from life, others, and maybe yourself. You feel uncertain of your thoughts, wants, needs or what to do. Trauma can leave us feeling hopeless, exhausted, and alone. It can make us shut the world out, or put other's needs before our own in hope for solace. At times it can feel like change isn't possible, or if we just ignore it long enough it will resolve itself.

Do you ever feel like your emotions are imbalanced, and you can't put your finger on why or how to manage them? Sometimes, when our feelings are unpredictable, it can lead to added stress, panic attacks, and personal reactions that may catch us off guard. Trauma , anxiety, and significant life changes, like a move or new job, can affect the way we respond in sensitive circumstances.
