About My Clients

“We cannot selectively numb emotions. When we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.” – Brene Brown. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, feeling overwhelmed, PTSD, grief/loss, relationship problems, life challenges, or on a journey of self-discovery, know that you don’t have to be alone or suffer.

My Background and Approach

I use an integrated approach to utilize techniques and tools that are attuned to my client's needs. I have additional training and experience in working with trauma, dissociation, domestic abuse/violence, service members and veterans, and couples. My therapeutic goal for clients is to work alongside them to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships with others and the world, expanding their emotional tolerance and personal coping skills. I will assist and guide you with knowledge and tools to help identify and process troublesome thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that impact your life, set healthy boundaries, gain confidence in your ability to communicate, and make progress toward personal growth creating lasting change so you can be your true, authentic self and live the life you envision.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe the client is the true expert in their own life and my role as a therapist is to help guide you towards healing and living a more fulfilling life. The psychotherapeutic relationship is to be one of sacred trust and active partnership. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where you can feel heard and free from judgment.
