EVENINGS & WEEKEND APPTS/ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS/FULLY VIRTUAL! I hope to help people find within themselves the strength needed to live the life they want to live. Often times the way we view our emotions and then subsequently handle (or avoid them!) highly affects the quality of life we live. I believe that it's of utmost importance to truly start to understand ourselves in order to be able to align our values, goals and behaviors. Many people did not have positive role models in their lives to help them learn about their emotions and how to handle them.

YOU are meant to flourish! Although we are all created unique and unrepeatable, we all aspire to be happy and live well. Worry, anxiety, depression, life changes, being unhappy and unfulfilled can be an obstacle to our flourishing. Like a diamond, no scratch, chip, or fracture can damage our innate beauty. The human person is capable of achieving and bringing inner joy and happiness through healing and the fulfillment of their personal goals.

If life is a struggle and you feel like it is getting harder for you to do things you used to enjoy, I would love to help you get where you want to be. You deserve to be happy and live the life you are meant to live. Sometimes we may need someone to help us travel our path through life and walk with us. If you are anxious, depressed or wondering how you will ever get through your emotional storm, call me and I will ride the wave with you. You are worth the best I can give. The purpose of my life is to help you find meaning and purpose in yours. Your life is your story. Write well. Edit often.

Trauma is any adverse experience that causes extreme emotional reaction: nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety etc. When meeting with me many reach their destination feeling guilty for their response to their unique experience — because its “less than” others. As we begin the journey to health and recovery, I assure all that their individual experience is different and unique. Our goal is to get to the point where you know that your feelings/emotions are not better or worse than another’s, as all individuals have a right to their feelings. No trauma is better, worse, harder or easier than another because it depends on how we react.

I find the most effective way of working with people is to meet people where they are at. It does not make sense to have people try to fit in boxes that are not accurate for their life. I utilize mindfulness and a wellness approach to help increase the positivity of what is going on in a person's life. I am able to provide services utilizing an EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) approach. I believe that it is the person's right to interview their therapist for best fit, and want to provide this prior to scheduling an intake for anyone. I also provide supervision for Mental Health &/or AODA professionals.

I enjoy helping people identify what they desire from their life and relationships. It can be difficult to understand what we actually want which often leads to stress and other anxious/ depressive symptoms. When stress goes on too long, it's easy to lose motivation and fall into unhelpful thinking/lifestyle habits and patterns that don't match your deeper values. Through talking together, I feel confident we will come to better understand and manage the stress and challenges you are experiencing, as well as identify what might be preventing you from moving closer toward what you hope for.

I often utilize art and psychotherapy together to create self-expression and self-exploration. I meet where the individuals are at which determines what therapeutic approach we choose to make goals a success. I believe the individuals are the expert of their story and that the individuals have many strengths that will assist them in overcoming things that challenge them. I help individuals build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence during their journey.
