When clients have a session with me, I want them to feel comfortable sharing their deepest darkest fears because those are often the very things that keep us in a cycle of mental, emotional, and spiritual turmoil. Just being able to say how you truly feel- out loud to someone who is really listening, can be so freeing for a person. As a therapist, I know that it’s not enough to just talk about it though. It’s not enough to unload your emotional baggage onto others and then you magically feel better. If you're willing to do the work, then I'm willing to support you in your healing journey.

Trauma can leave you feeling at war with your own body. It can throw your nervous system into chaos, making it difficult to eat, sleep, or even just get through the day. As a therapist specializing in the treatment of complex trauma, I firmly believe that these instances of upheaval in our lives are more than just “breakdowns.” With effective clinical guidance and support, they are opportunities for “breakthroughs.” When I work with a client we do more than simply talk about what happened that week, we set up a strategic treatment plan.

Transitions and adjustments can be difficult. At times we can feel wonderful, while other times we are left wondering "what happened?". In those moments, it can be difficult to know what to do or how to navigate the next steps in our life. The journey can be painful, overwhelming and just down right exhausting. While many of us experience similar situations, no one experience is the same; which is why I want to help find what benefits and helps you the most. I will help guide you and support you during your journey by tailoring treatment to fit you and your experience(s).

My work is shaped by a unique blend of experiences—as a competitive figure skater and coach, a passionate advocate for trauma and art therapy, and a dedicated professional in the substance abuse field.

The people I work with have had a variety of negative life experiences with ONE thing in common. It still bothers them days, months or even years since it happened. I help people who feel like "I should be over this by now" and are tired of feeling overwhelmed by the images, feelings and sensations that come up unexpectedly day or night. The people I work with often say "I just want to stop thinking about it". They often feel shame because they feel something is wrong with them because they can't "get over it".
