I work with people who feel stuck and overwhelmed. Doubt and anxiety can be tremendous challenges to overcome. Challenges that are made more difficult by isolation, trauma, substance use, or loss. However, you’re not alone with these experiences, even if it feels like you are. Going through it can reveal what’s important to you, and where you want your life to go.

You're someone who is looking to find just the right fit in a counselor. Maybe you are experiencing grief, or having difficulty adjusting to life changes. Perhaps you have a general sense of dissatisfaction with life, or have specific things you want to work through. Or, maybe you're feeling trapped by anxiety, or past trauma, and you want to feel a sense of hope; to be seen, heard, and understood. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy, and the things you may want to work on are important and unique.

Many of us grew up in families where love may exist, but emotional safety was missing. Despite good intentions, dysfunction—through abuse, neglect, perfectionism, addiction, or enmeshment—often left deep emotional wounds that still affect how we see ourselves and relate to others. I understand this pain both personally and professionally. I specialize in helping adults heal from the lasting effects of childhood trauma. My clients often struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, people-pleasing, fear of authority, relationship challenges, emotional flashbacks or associated behaviors.

It is easy to feel lost in a world so riddled with conflict and chaos. This is even more true if you suffer from PTSD and are getting triggered by what others are going through. As a seasoned therapist with over 30 years experience, I offer a diverse set of therapeutic skills. The flexibility of talking from home, your job, your car, or any other private setting can quiet the anxiety so many feel coming in person.
