Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? Are you hoping to build more meaning and joy in your life?

I'm here to join you on this journey to discover healing and build a balanced life. My goal is to help you find compassion for yourself, develop skills to help you navigate life stressors, and be confident in the resilient person you are. I believe that therapy is not “one size fits all” when it comes to the type of approach that is being used.

Do you have that constant voice in the back of your mind that tells you how awful you are, that relentless one that won't go away? Sometimes in life we feel overwhelmed, detached, and unable to take care of our needs. We take these feelings out on ourselves and others we love. It can be difficult to face things, even if we want to. Regardless of our best efforts, we find ourselves feeling defeated and fear we are failing. Seeking counseling is a courageous way to find healing and peace in your life. I provide a space that allows you to explore what is keeping you stuck and help you reconnect with yourself. I offer EMDR, along with other emotionally based therapies. I have 15 years’ experience working in education, and in the mental health field with individuals who have experienced trauma and trauma related symptoms and PTSD. Together we can explore what is keeping you stuck and help you create a new path that will allow you to move forward with hope and healing. It can get better!

I think it’s helpful for my clients to know why I do this work. I come from a family with a lot of intergenerational trauma: war refugees, parental abandonment, sexual trauma, addiction, and suicide. My first step on the path to becoming a therapist was learning how to deal with my own anxiety and depression. Working in mental health treatment has led me to an understanding my own inner workings and it continually reminds me of where I can get myself into trouble. What keeps me in this field is a desire to share what I know and help others. My training is rooted in my experiences in wilderness and adventure therapy work. Living in small groups taught me about what it really means to be human. This perspective is beneficial to my clients’ relationships, it informs the self-care habits I teach, and it helps me in explaining why creating meaning guards us from mental health issues. I believe that clients’ unique cultural context and socio-economic experience should inform therapy.
