Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic experience that has left you feeling not like yourself? After these types of experiences, the most common thing people tell me is "I just wish I could go back to how it was before." You might be wrestling with painful memories, have difficulty connecting with others, and struggle to feel safe, both with the outside world and even yourself. These are all NORMAL reactions to difficult experiences but they do not have to be your forever. While we cannot undo the past, we can work to process and overcome these events in order to find and a path forward.

Everyone experiences trauma at some point in their lives. Anxiety, anger, forgetfulness, fear, sadness, survivor’s guilt, a diminished sense of self and feelings of helplessness are just some of the emotions experienced after a disturbing life-altering event . Rather than trauma, maybe you’re just feeling overwhelmed and stifled. Perhaps the joy you once felt has diminished, and you feel like it’s a struggle to get through a day. Maybe you’ve tried to make changes but find yourself falling back into the same old patterns. Are you going through a challenging transition and needing emotional support and guidance?

I specialize in ABA, (Applied Behavior Analysis). The transition from childhood to adulthood can be a trying time for all members of the family, I'm here to offer support through this turbulent time. I approach each client with unconditional positive regard, compassion, and empathy. I believe that our values are our compass. Identifying values is the first step in relief from psychological suffering and toward lasting behavior change. People seek out therapy for both compassionate care AND real therapeutic results. Your family deserves both. If you're tired of walking on eggshells around your loved one, I'm here to help.

A wise man once said "We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed."- Victor Frankl. With purpose a person can endure almost anything. With purpose hope can begin anew. Everyone has a story in life, that story can be used to bring forth life and purpose which are the foundations for lasting hope.

Trauma, divorce, life transitions, co-parenting issues. You may be experiencing sleep issues, emotional numbness, lack of interest in activities, and lack of energy. Many times there is also guilt associated with any one of these occurrences. With the correct treatment, you don't have to feel this way any longer.

I strongly believe in the brain body connection and utilizing methods to support holistic healing, not just addressing symptoms. In our healing space your more than symptoms and a diagnosis and my goal is to provide you with a safe comforting environment to approach healing.

My ideal client does not have a specific issue or diagnosis, but they are willing to work. Counseling is not easy and takes work in and out of sessions. Having a client that is willing to take the steps and do the work would be ideal!

I am grateful you are here and support you in your efforts to connect and take a step towards change. I am a therapist because I believe in the human experience. I honor the opportunity to companion others as they grow and become more connected and authentic versions of themselves. My approach to therapy is both eclectic and collaborative. Each person has a unique set of circumstances and a story that is intricately woven together by experiences. I use therapy as a tool to guide individuals to a place of curiousity, self-compassion and use a variety of techniques to assist in identifying, understanding and shifting barriers

It’s Wednesday night, and you’re up late again binging Netflix. You have to get up early, but you’re terrified of going to sleep where the nightmares lurk. When you finally doze off, it feels like only moments before your alarm starts to blare. Waking you to face another day, more stressed and exhausted. At the office, an innocent interaction with a coworker triggers memories of your trauma. You become caught in that moment again. Your heart races, palms sweat, and every nerve is on edge, ready to leap into action. You just want to run away. Get in your car, start driving, and never look back. But there’s no way to outrun yourself.

Every child is born with a different set of strengths, needs, and challenges. Too often, when challenges and needs are significant, people can be made to feel like they are "broken". This could not be further from the truth. I specialize in helping children and adolescents discover their unique learning and developmental needs and strengths as well as helping children and adolescents overcome trauma and anxiety.

If you have thoughts such as "People don't understand me" "I feel so overwhelmed with racing thoughts" "I don't feel good enough" I hear you, and you are not alone. Together, we can work to overcome whatever it is you are experiencing.

I believe it is important to find the right therapist so you feel like you can be yourself and talk about the challenges you are facing. An essential part of my practice is to build rapport with my clients, so they feel comfortable talking about their problems and the hurtful issues they’ve experienced. I have enjoyed assisting individuals from multiple cultural, educational, gender, spirituality, and socioeconomic backgrounds who have experienced challenges with trauma, grief, anxiety, social identities, life transitions, sleep disturbances, mental health, health issues, adult children of alcoholics/addicts, & DV survivors.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment, shame and trauma reactions. Do you find yourself feeling stuck in your thoughts? As if they are playing on a loop, fixated? You too may find yourself dealing with depression, irritability, relationship issues, guilt, and anxiety keeping you from the peace you seek. Therapy helps us understand where we're stuck and provides the space to practice new strategies. I use proven techniques to help people involved in traumatic events or struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, adjustment and relationships become reacquainted with themselves.

Hello, to be completely transparent, it is through my own suffering and trauma that I was lead to the counseling profession. I know first hand just how incredibly difficult it may be not only to first acknowledge the need for change, but to take the steps necessary in seeking help. Congratulations on your decision and bravery in accomplishing this step. I would be honored to play a small role in helping you through this journey.
