My mission is to provide a welcoming space for people to work on their individual goals. This can look different for everyone. For some, it's working through life changes or challenging situations. For others, they are on a journey to identify who they are and what they want in life. I believe everyone has the ability to make changes and discover things about themselves that will allow them to live the life they want. My focus is to provide a place for people to explore and learn while feeling accepted and supported.

My goal in counseling is to help individuals find healing, wholeness, and peace in the midst of life's journey.

Do you find that your mood is affecting your ability to actually enjoy life? Are you struggling to take time for yourself? Maybe you’re a parent of young children in the “giving” years of life and in desperate need of a break. Maybe you’re in the midst of a life transition and are battling self doubt and a relentless inner critic. Maybe something from your past is holding you back, affecting your trust in yourself and others. Together, in therapy, we can address your stress and overwhelm, process your emotions, challenge your thoughts, and heal from past trauma.

I work with clients suffering from CPTSD, depression or anxiety. My focus is on helping people process and move through old issues by eliminating the emotions attached to those events by using EFT or Energy Psychology which I've been using for 22 years. I believe that therapy should be a positive experience and that you should look forward to that healing process. I also use hypnosis for numerous issues.

Life can be overwhelming, which can push you to feel lost and stuck. I specialize in trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Autism, but I also have experience working with other mental health issues. My clients find relief by working through their current issues by identifying how your life is being currently disrupted and then working backward to process your trauma. Some of my treatment modalities include Gestalt Therapy, DBT, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but I believe in tailoring the treatment to each individual client depending on what will help you the most.

We all get stuck sometimes, whether it be with making an important decision or simply in unhealthy thought and behavioral patterns. I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families recognize unhelpful patterns and work towards becoming "unstuck." People often bear the symptoms of what is going on around them and these symptoms become visible as depression, anxiety, etc. I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families to become the best that they can be and to have the best relationships that they can have.

I find joy in working with children and teens because of their curiosity and wonder. We can all learn from their fresh perspective and ability to find happiness in the little things. Further special interests include grief, women’s issues, and interpersonal trauma.

Nonconforming & Neurodiverse (ADHD/ASD) individuals often see themselves as "different" & "othered" and it create a lot of difficulty navigating the world. Living in a country where Ablism bias, prejudice, and discrimination is the norm, individuals often find themselves constantly battling ways to navigate intimate relationships, social groups, and institutions that are not accepting of, or made for, their uniqueness. I help these adults normalize & navigate life's complexities by creating resilience in their own Unique Stories dealing w/ Adult ADHD, relationships, LGBTQ+, religious hang-ups, sexual discomfort/dysfunction & more.

These days, our stress can feel overwhelming. I provide a safe, caring environment for adults to slow down, find their center, and make space for what needs attention. I use a body-centered mindfulness approach called Hakomi to gently explore how each client organizes their own life experience. Learning to become safely embodied is a vital step towards healing. Through this moment-to-moment mind/body exploration, not only are core beliefs and protective strategies revealed, but also pathways towards change. Our own natural instinct towards healing awaits our readiness to unfold.
