My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

It’s not always easy to create a life that feels aligned with who you are. You might find yourself feeling disconnected, uncertain, or questioning your choices, wondering why things don’t feel as fulfilling as you expected. These experiences can be difficult, but they can also be important starting points for deeper understanding. Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore these questions with care. Together, we’ll look at patterns in your emotional life and relationships, explore how past experiences may be shaping the present, and reconnect with what feels most meaningful to you. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and insight-oriented. Sessions are reflective and focused on helping you better understand yourself over time, with space to process emotions and gain clarity. I often work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and a general sense of feeling unfulfilled or “off.” Over time, clients often feel more connected to themselves, more clear about what matters, and more able to move forward with intention. If you’re considering therapy, you’re welcome to reach out for a free consultation to see if this feels like a good fit.

I understand that seeking therapy can be daunting, and view therapy as a holistic process, striving to provide a warm, empathic, and accepting atmosphere, to support clients who are committed to making lasting change. I am Licensed Professional Counselor, and have extensive clinical experience working with individuals and couples struggling with relationship issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, low self-esteem, grief and loss, and questions of identity. I am passionate about helping couples and individuals grow and thrive, improving communication, working through trauma, and identifying and achieving goals. I received my Master of Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2011, and since then have undergone continued training specializing in trauma-informed approaches. I am a Gottman Method Level 1 trained therapist. I operate from a trauma-informed perspective recognizing that many people have had or currently experience trauma. I understand the need for emotional safety and trustworthiness in a therapist and work with clients to regain a sense of empowerment in their lives. My style is eclectic, but my work is trauma informed, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients stop fighting against the pain of their past, and build rich and meaningful lives. For couples work, I pull strongly from the Gottman Method. I strongly believe that every person holds the capacity for growth, and can benefit from a trusting and supportive therapist to help them acknowledge and ignite that ability within themselves. I consider the client as the expert in their life and trust that a positive client and therapist relationship is key to facilitating change. Through a safe and professional relationship, the therapist can help the client deeply examine their life, and identify areas for change. Utilizing individualized treatment plans, I help clients develop goals tailored to their specific needs, and identify coping and management strategies to help clients regain a sense of control in life.

I approach therapy in an inclusive, flexible, and respectful way. It’s your therapy. I’m a guide who helps you apply your strengths to your healing process or to solve a problem. I want to have power WITH you, not over you. I offer a range of therapy options. Your experience of therapy matters to me, too, so I periodically check in with you about how therapy is going and whether you’re getting your needs met. I also aim to empower you with information you need along the way, providing psychoeducation, for example, on the neuroscience of trauma, how trauma affects the brain and body. Although I assist with a range of issues, I specialize in trauma work. Helping others recover from trauma is my passion, as I have personally experienced transformation in my own trauma journey.

Therapy is more than talking about what’s wrong, it’s about understanding what you’ve been through, learning how to manage what you’re feeling, and developing the tools to create meaningful change. My approach integrates DBT, somatic-based therapy, EMDR techniques, and CBT to help you address the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body, and relationships. If you struggle with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma, negative self-talk, difficulty setting boundaries, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, therapy can help you move forward. Through DBT, we work on practical skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and healthier communication so you can respond to difficult situations instead of feeling controlled by your emotions. Through CBT, we identify the negative and unhelpful thought patterns that may contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, shame, or feeling stuck. You’ll learn how to challenge those thoughts and develop healthier, more balanced ways of thinking. With somatic-based therapy, we pay attention to how stress and past experiences show up in your body. Together, we work toward greater awareness, grounding, nervous-system regulation, and a stronger sense of safety within yourself. Using EMDR-informed techniques, we can gently address distressing experiences and emotional triggers while building coping resources and helping you develop a greater sense of control and emotional safety. You deserve a space where you can be understood, not judged. Therapy can help you move from simply surviving to creating a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling.

Clients often describe my approach as gentle, understanding, and non-judgmental. Many clients report life-changing results after only a few EMDR sessions of processing traumatic memories. Has talk-therapy proven unsuccessful for you in the past? My training is in experiential therapy models, including EMDR, bodywork, and psychodrama, which allow us to do go places beyond talking. I specialize working with trauma, attachment issues, grief & loss, and addiction. Trauma, addiction, and loss can disrupt one's life - and often require professional help. Together, we can process the fueling factors of addiction, emotional pain, or relationship issues. I feel very blessed to bear witness to change and transformation in others (and myself!) everyday through my work. While many therapists claim to be 'trauma-informed', my practice is revolves entirely around trauma work. I've been recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress - the highest status in the academy. As the Director of the Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy, I am committed to providing quality trauma therapy services in my community.

Every conversation makes a difference. The differences may be subtle or they can be life-changing. I work in a direct and warm manner, creating an environment that is dynamic and safe. The therapeutic relationship is a very important one and can provide the basis for navigating through difficult life transitions, improving communication skills, healing from a loss, or exploring possibilities for enhancing one's life.

My primary goal is to make anyone I work with feel safe as they explore vulnerable parts of their lives and past experiences. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship, one rooted in trust and a lack of judgment, allows for lasting and empowering change. If you are experiencing difficulty coping with life stressors or transitions, or are curious about exploring your past and its impact on your life today, I'd love to connect for a consultation. I might also be a good fit for you if you are looking for parent coaching as well as support with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) management. Thanks, and I look forward to speaking with you!
