It can be hard to cope sometimes in this ever-changing world...Do you want more out of life? Do you want more than what a life coach or an accountability coach can offer? Your treatment should NOT feel like a fast-food drive thru. My specialty is working with neurodivergent clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and/or clients that may process information or their emotions differently.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Whether you feel controlled by your past trauma, you’re struggling to find your place as a teen, or you’re trying to manage the pressures of mastering this whole successful adulting thing, I’m here for you. I’ve worked with clients at their very lowest in psychiatric hospital settings, in homes and communities, schools, and outpatient therapy settings. This wide array of experiences has really taught me so much about the complexities of the human condition in all of its messy and gritty glory.
I believe that you are the expert on you and I serve as a guide, and when necessary, an empathetic teacher to help you recover/reinvent components of your life. I help people understand how thoughts and emotions influence health and happiness. I support them in gaining new insight. I teach people how to be embodied in their body. I help individuals cultivate or deepen their sense of spirituality. I assist them in identifying and breaking out of unhelpful thinking and/or behavioral patterns.
As a trauma therapist, I work with clients experiencing past or present trauma. My expertise encompasses various forms of trauma, including sexual, physical, emotional, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from war, natural disasters, and unresolved grief. Even though I specialize in Trauma counseling, I work with many clients who have anxiety, depression, mood disorders, intrusive thoughts, etc.
Things have changed since the kids came along. You thought once they got older and things would settled down, you'd get back to the two of you but that hasn't happened. And the conflict has gotten worse. You can't even remember what the conflict was about to begin with but it's never, ever resolved. And the disconnection you feel as a result of the conflict is increasingly painful. Or you are so tired of the same conflict pattern again and again, you've stopped caring all together.
