Many psychological problems are tied to relationship struggles - sex and money are two of the biggest struggles implicated in these cases either as cause, consequence, or something in between. These struggles are emotionally moving manifestations of the human need for connection and the deep pain felt when this connection is damaged or severed. I help individuals and couples seek relationship-deepening events, become more fluent in the language of others, and understand that satisfying relationships are contingent on the ability to relate to the people you value in your life.

Everyone can benefit from connecting with someone who will intentionally hold space for us to explore, question, learn, heal, or grow. Mental healthcare can have different angles and facets. Sometimes we need professional support from a preventive and early intervention stand point (life transitions, increase resilience, processing experiences) and other times we may need it for treatment (diagnosis, moderate to severe symptoms, significant distress). Either way, it is best to be proactive about our overall health and wellness.

I have worked in clinical practice for 12 years, and have 20 years professional experience, with an 8-year career in public relations prior to clinical practice. I was called to the helping profession and received my master's in social work in 2011. Since then, I have been called a "fierce advocate" and "impassioned counselor" by my clients and colleagues. I have served as a therapist in medical/trauma and psychiatric hospitals, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), in community health and in schools. I currently provide psychotherapy and premarital counseling in private practice and SPED counseling services in schools.

I specialize in working with women and teen girls with past/present trauma. Living as a trauma survivor is not easy and can be exhausting. Does anxiety and depression seem to control your life or preventing you from pursuing your goals? Are you struggling with adverse childhood trauma? Are your relationships affected? Trauma is a complex and unique experience for each individual. You are not the same person you once were. I believe everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to work through life's challenges. It is understood that seeking therapy can be a difficult decision, but I am here to support you every step of the way.

Taking the step to seek healing can be very challenging and scary, so I am proud of you for getting this far. I firmly believe that all human beings are worthy of living a life that feels peaceful and fulfilling, and I am here to help you figure out what that can look like for you. I am committed to providing you with the empowerment and tools necessary to help you find the answers that have always existed within you. If you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, and unsure where to go next in your life, or you are looking to improve your relationships with others and yourself, we may be a great fit.

We use a variety of techniques that are tailored to meet the needs of our clients with a special interest in self esteem/self worth issues, codependency, NPD & unconscious programming. Some individuals are unaware of limiting thoughts, beliefs & memories and stay stuck. Trapped trauma and unconscious programming plays a major role in mental & physical health problems as well as interpersonal relationships. In addition to psychotherapy we offer a unique & transformational experience called Zerobody Dry Flotation to aid and accelerate the healing process and to re program unconscious programming (one's blueprint of self and life).
