Do you struggle with the ripple effects caused by trauma and grief? Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and frustrated by the cards you've been dealt? Do you question if your relationships and well-being could be better? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to manage their lives, careers, and relationships. Ignoring or avoiding your needs can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I don't believe life should be that hard.

I have a passion for helping people re-experience themselves. Sometimes it is necessary to share your story with someone who can be objective and give you an alternative perspective. Life comes with many struggles, and there are times when managing them can seem difficult. We imagine our feelings as chains that hold us down. The energy we once had to live and love, no longer seems available. When we walk in shame and fear we give others our power and become powerless. We often fall into old patterns that don’t work for us any longer. We can feel stuck.

I view therapy as a creative partnership, focusing on healing and self-awareness. Therapy is also a holistic pursuit, nurturing mind, body, and spirit. I conceptualize therapy in two ways: First, the work centers around developing resources to regulate oneself during anxious or depressive experiencing. These skills are essential for doing the deeper work of identifying and healing parts of our ourselves who carry painful burdens or traumatic experiences. If you are a person of faith, we can incorporate spirituality into the therapeutic process-at your discretion.
