Are you interested in learning why you are feeling so down? Are you looking for a therapist with a trauma-informed approach to help you process current and past struggles? Are you tired of dealing with things on your own? If so, I am here to help. I strive to help my clients achieve more understanding and insight, more compassion towards themselves, and more tools to deal with difficult times. My clients often report an improvement in mood, reduction of symptoms such as decreased anxiety/depression, better understanding and management of triggers and a greater awareness and appreciation of themselves.

My goal is to provide a safe atmosphere where clients feel relaxed and comfortable. I focus on building accepting and trustworthy relationships with those I work with and strive to be genuine in all encounters. I utilized CBT and approach therapy sessions with a person centered perspective. I am a licensed professional counselor and obtained my bachelors degree in psychology in 2014 and my masters in professional counseling and in curriculum and development in 2018. I specialize in working with people struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD and autism spectrum disorder. I am trained in EMDR and Immigration evaluations.

Welcome! I understand the courage it takes to reach out for help. I pledge to be your advocate as you navigate the ups and downs of life. As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist with 23+ years providing therapy, I offer compassionate counseling that will assist you with reducing symptoms and increasing coping skills to improve overall wellness.

Leaving religion and deconstructing your faith is a daunting decision and process. You're likely worried about what your family and friends will say if you tell them that you no longer believe in the theologies and doctrines that are central to your religious experience. You're worried about losing your sense of belonging and community. The grief and loss of friendships, marriages, and family (amongst many things) are very real during the deconstruction process. Religious Trauma Syndrome (RTS), coined by Dr. Marlene Winell, has similarities to numerous mental health disorder symptoms including PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Are you feeling alone, overwhelmed, isolated, stressed out, or ready to give up? If so, you are so incredibly brave for taking the first step in your healing process. Life can be unpredictable and can bring you to places that you may not know how to handle. Asking for help, at times, can be outside of your comfort zone. I offer a non-judgmental, safe space to talk about your concerns. Whatever brings you to counseling, rest assured that I will treat you with respect, empathy, and understanding. I am passionate about helping individuals heal and feel empowered.

You are ready to take the next step in your healing process. I believe you are capable of healing, resolving your current challenges, and moving toward a better you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 12 years of experience. My goal is to provide a safe, accepting, and collaborative relationship with you, while addressing your current needs. I know what it is like to experience trauma, to feel stuck, to have feelings and emotions and not know what they are or how to describe them. Together we will work intentionally to help you connect with your authentic self and find solutions to your current challenges.

Do you feel like you’ve made it to a place where you expected to be happy but instead you are lashing out or suffering from anxiety or panic? Maybe you're noticing more frustration with people or certain thoughts holding you back. It’s possible this is coming from experiences that you thought you’d moved on from, and even though you have an idea why you are reacting this way you haven't been able to make a change on your own. Otherwise, maybe you had expectations for pregnancy or child birth that were not met or were even traumatic, and you want to process this experience in order to move into the next stage of life.

If you are looking for a collaborative, growth-focused, healing therapeutic experience, you have found it! I am here to provide the supportive environment you need. Together we will identify your goals and craft a combination of cognitive and creative therapies and psychoeducation to give you the life-long adaptive skills needed to maintain a healthy connection to your true self and your personal mission. I partner with adults, teenagers, and pre-teens to develop coping skills and stress management techniques to improve daily life at school, at home and work, in relationships, and beyond.

I believe that this life is meant to be lived fully and freely in every moment. It is a simple concept, but sometimes so difficult to experience as our thoughts keep us held in the past or our fears spiral us into the future. You may feel completely trapped in a cycle of unhealthy thoughts and behaviors and sense you're losing control. Sometimes we struggle getting lost in heartache or pain and forget what life can look like on the other side. I have a genuine passion for coming alongside each person to help rediscover a full and free life with all of its wonders and difficulties.

I believe that each client is the expert in their own lived experience. I am passionate about working to create a welcoming and safe space where you feel safe sharing your journey, challenges, and hopes. I use a relational, strengths-based, trauma informed, and person centered approach in order to treat the whole person and ensure that therapy is personalized, collaborative, and unique to each client with the goal of helping you become the best version of themselves.
