If you find yourself in a difficult place, let me be the first to say, you are not alone. We all have times in our lives when we need a voice of hope, a listening ear, and eyes to see beyond our current circumstances. Making the decision to seek support can be a humbling, yet extremely gratifying experience. What I hope to offer is a unique space where you can be yourself, learn about yourself, and more fully live into your true identity.

My clients come to me feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness, anxiety , panic , and disorganization usually as a result of experiencing something traumatic. Trauma can feel like being numb one moment and overly on-edge or jumpy the next. You may find yourself snappy and irritable at times. You may be avoiding lots of things to maintain calm, making it difficult to manage even everyday tasks and healthy relationships. Trauma and PTSD yield what feels like constant chaos in our lives and can seem hopeless, but with the appropriate treatment you can find relief and make sense of what you’ve experienced.

With 25 years of counseling experience, I want to help you. There are so many issues in life that get in the way and keep you from feeling whole and fulfilled. Depression, anxiety , trauma, disability, change, and many others can make a list that becomes overwhelming to deal with. Getting unstuck and overcoming these obstacles is important to you and your success.

Have you experienced difficulty connecting with others? Perhaps had difficulty understanding your own behavior or why you think a certain way? What about overwhelming anxiety or depression? If you have found yourself struggling with these or other difficulties, therapy may be a helpful experience for you. As a mental health professional since 2013, I have gained experience in a wide variety of settings and believe that together we can work to help you understand yourself, accomplish therapeutic goals, and experience a fuller life through therapy.

**Now accepting Scott & White insurance** My areas of specialty include first responder PTSD, substance abuse, trauma, anxiety /depression, relationship discord, and mindfulness. I am EMDR trained and have extensive experience utilizing EMDR to resolve trauma associated with first responder experiences, accidents, grief/loss, military combat, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, and more. My work, as well as my personal life, is grounded in mindfulness. When we train our attention to stay in the present moment, we become much more aware of the stories we tell ourselves and how much suffering we experience as a result.

Do you often feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Do you need a safe, nonjudgmental place to talk about your life? I would love to meet with you!
