I have seen remarkable results using ART to process car accidents, dog bites, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, loss, anxiety, and more.
The human experience comes with a unique set of challenges for every one of us. If you presently find yourself in a burdensome, daunting, or confusing stage of life, please know you are not alone. Starting therapy is a vulnerable endeavor, but I have witnessed just how gratifying and empowering it can be for those who diligently show up for themselves and put in the work.
My hope in working with clients is to honor the full spectrum of the human condition. While we might find ourselves in seasons of searching or suffering, we are equally capable of experiencing profound resilience, growth, and connection.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling work best when you are ready to try something different. That is who I am here for.

My expertise includes working with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, betrayal trauma and other traumatic events, as well as those struggling with body image, and self-esteem challenges.
Life can be incredibly complex, and at times, we may find ourselves weighed down by persistent sadness, anxiety, or negative thoughts that seem to cloud our ability to move forward. Whether these feelings stem from everyday stressors, unresolved past experiences and traumatic events, or underlying mood disorders, they can shape how we see ourselves and the world around us.

Over two decades ago, my life changed when my children and i found ourselves staying at a domestic violence shelter. The fear and uncertainty was overwhelming.
The journey to where I am today was not easy. I worked hard to heal generational trauma, break unhealthy cycles, and create a different future for my family. I earned my degrees with passion and purpose to help others heal from their own trauma and find hope for a better life.
I am grateful for every client, every lesson and every step on this journey.

When you aren't sure where to start, but you know you need help. Each day is a little too much. Too many memories, and too much on your plate. You cry sometimes, but only when you are alone.

The voice in your head brings you down and you want to make it stop, but you don't know if you could every really accept the way you are. You want to get out and be around people more, but even the thought of finds you overwhelmed and exhausted.

I firmly believe there is a function to our behavior. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes not. And sometimes, while our behavior made sense at one time, maybe even to the point of saving our life, it is no longer serving us. We're all just doing the best that we can but sometimes the way we're coping leads to highly negative impacts on our body, mind, spirit, & relationships. A wise mentor once shared with me that our capacity for change comes from our ability (and willingness) to reflect. I seek to empower my clients to gain the tools and self-awareness they need in order to cultivate a sense of peace and personal agency.
