Stuck. Overwhelmed. Frustrated. Disconnected. These are words that my clients often used to describe how they are feeling in their relationship. While the beginning of their relationship felt like it was “us against the world“, they now feel trapped in gridlock, unsure of how to navigate differently. Have you been avoiding conflict hoping things will get better to find it has fostered hurt, resentment and disconnection? Maybe you are feeling completely lost attempting to process intense feelings from an affair or from carrying the weight from your own past experiences that are now impacting your ability to connect with your partner.

I believe my role on this journey is to help you understand yourself better, provide support when times are hard, and help you figure out ways to make change by focusing on areas within your locus of control. Over the years I have worked with many children, individuals, and families from all walks of life; helping individuals and families along their journey of self-discovery and healing. I believe that individuals and families know themselves best and my role is to help increase self-confidence and self-awareness so they can figure out what is best for each individual and for families and their family systems.

The challenges we face as individuals, as a community, and as a society can have a profound impact on the way we view the world, ourselves and others. Exposure to multiple adverse life experiences over time (experienced directly or in anticipation of adverse experiences) can progressively increase symptoms of anxiety, depression, clinical, and sub-clinical PTSD and even impact the state and health of our bodies. Adverse life experiences are often stored in the body and can be coded to our DNA. Somatic forms of therapy such as EMDR and Brainspotting help to adjust this lens by integrating and fully reprocessing adverse experiences.

Are you walking around feeling emotionally shut down? Dealing with prolonged sadness and worry? Crippled with anxious thoughts about where you are in life versus where you thought you would be? Therapy is a place where one hopes to explore life’s challenges and have that be met with emotional safety. I aim to provide a safe and open therapeutic environment where you can be your authentic self and have it be okay. It takes courage to reach out, learn self-acceptance and self-love. Facing the mirror can be scary, but only through the process of leaning into vulnerability can we truly blaze a new path.

Whether you are a therapy veteran or have never sought mental health services before, I hope to support you as you navigate the collision of your internal experience with real-life challenges. For clients that don't even know where to begin with issues in the family, parents that are struggling with their child's transitions, and couples seeking clarity on "communication," I imagine that obtaining help can feel like an uphill battle.

My areas of interest that I am working my career toward are trauma, faith crises/transitions, and grief. I have found that these earth-bending moments touch so many other pieces of our lives that often go unexamined and can leave us feeling stuck and in pain. In order to heal these wounds, we have to carefully remove the shrapnel and take a look at what has done the harm before sealing it up again. This process takes time and attention, and is led by the individual.
