I often work with profound unrecognized and misdiagnosed trauma, critical incidents & shame.

I’m genuine in my non judge mental style and can hold the biggest of “monsters” so you feel safe!

DAYTIME availability ONLY. I believe in meeting clients where they are at in their healing process. There are circumstances that can throw someone off track - recovery is the journey of getting back on track. I am a very compassionate person and I walk through this journey with my clients and assist them in getting back on track to a life worth living. I wholeheartedly believe the past is necessary to explore, because in order to know where you're going, you need to know where you've come from. Additionally, you can't "say goodbye" to something if you haven't said hello to it.

When things go wrong in life, we can get knocked off center, struggle to stay afloat, or lose our way. Sometimes we may feel we've moved on from life's hardships, but negative reactions and patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting continue to reel us back again and again, making the present feel like an ongoing struggle. Our minds, bodies, and nervous systems are remembering the memories of distressing life events, even when we don't consciously think of them every day. We get stuck in anxiety and depression- symptoms of inadequately processed, stuck distress of our lives, both past and present.

My clients can present with a variety of needs and goals. They are motivated and ready to explore and make change happen. Whether it's the bigger changes in life or day to day adjustments, I'm with them through the whole process.
