My 10 years as a therapist have exposed me to a variety of challenges from deescalating unsafe situations to mediating complex relationship barriers. In my experience trauma can often be found at the core of depression, anxiety, family/spouse conflict, disordered eating, sexual confusion and addiction. All of these challenges can create a sense of feeling stuck, unfulfilled and alone. In some cases, these struggles can be intimidating to address without help. My belief is that therapy acts as a safe place for you to address those struggles in an empowering way; one that gives a sense of purpose, and leaves you feeling connected.

Over the last 11 years, I have had the privilege of working with great people in helping them achieve their potential. I focus especially on creating healthy relationships within the family environment, and teaching children positive self esteem and respect for themselves and others. I apply positive psychology and strength-based training to increase the abilities and desires of youth to succeed and improve performance at home and at school. I have tremendous respect for the notion that no one is great at everything, but through hard work everyone can be great at something.

Throughout our lives we all face storms of many kinds. Often, we don’t even realize we’re in a storm or that the storm is over. My role as your therapist is help you travel through those storms and come out the other side different than who you were before. I believe that everyone is capable of change and healing, and my approach to therapy stems from that belief. I like to work from several approaches while using a variety of evidence-based modalities to fit your specific needs.

I believe that it is important to be heard and understood in our most important relationships. As a marriage and family therapist, I help individuals, couples and families to communicate and connect around stressful challenges and changes in life. I will help you figure out your feelings, talk about hard things and connect around difficult topics so that you have increased fulfillment in your relationships and better face mental health stress experienced in your life. Before becoming a therapist, I mentored teens and participated in college-level stunting. I enjoy working with teens and understand their struggles.

My focus has been on the way trauma, lived experiences, social systems, and substance use often show up and weave together in us. We all have trauma, regardless of how we take up our space in the world. I love to show people their inner strength and foster self-compassion through harm-reduction and specialized trauma treatment techniques. I strive to confront the often-overwhelming stigma and shame so many of us have surrounding mental health issues, sexuality, gender expression, race, ethnicity, and spirituality. If you feel scared or stuck, I am ready to help navigate your unique process and path.

Each and every human brings a unique set of strengths, patterns, histories, and challenges to the way they engage with the world. My approach is ultimately relational and strength-based. I have deep compassion for my clients and work towards building a relationship based on trust and empathy. While I utilize many different approaches, such as body-based somatic work, art interventions, narrative therapy, and internal family systems based interventions, I approach each client differently. Not every therapist-client relationship is a good fit. Come work with me and we will see how to best support you and your goals.

I work from the idea that good mental health comes from and is strengthened by healthy relationships. Anxiety and depression are never isolated to the individual. Mental and emotional struggles connect to imbalanced coping and the ways we develop and maintain connections with one another. We will address most challenges through the CBT method, but my skills have developed over my 19 plus years as a therapist with adaptation to client needs, including Brainspotting. My clients experience direct, attentive, warm, and caring dialog with a safe and accepting presence. I work with individuals, couples and families.

I believe that therapy is about finding that peaceful place between contrasting truths. As you are the best expert on your needs and goals, it is my aim to offer you tools that will allow you to create the life you want.

My approach to therapy is making you the boss. Therapy is an investment of your time and energy and I want to honor that. My job is not to tell you what to do, it’s to give you the tools, education, and professional insights that motivate and inspire you to recognize what is best for you. As your therapist, I will be with you every step of the way as we navigate ups, downs, decisions, mistakes, and big wins. I've witnessed both personally and professionally the power in someone being heard and accepted for exactly where they're at. My goal at the end of every session is that you leave feeling validated and empowered.
