My Approach to Helping

You are not alone. If you are struggling with trauma, PTSD, mood disorders or any of life's many stresses I am here to help! Let us find a safe place for you to feel supported on your journey through life’s challenges, struggles and victories. My hope is to bring a sense of peace and confidence to your counseling journey. PTSD, anxiety, and depression can be crippling. But there are multiple ways out, and together we can find a solution that is best for you. Together we can work to harness your strengths & resilience and take the first steps on the path to healing.

I utilize integrative and trauma-informed therapies that incorporate mind, body, and spirit. Traditional modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy are combined with holistic modalities such as mindfulness and expressive arts can be used to heal the entire person instead of simply managing symptoms.

It takes courage to ask for help, but you made it this far - you have already taken the first step! Sometimes the hardest part is picking up the phone or sending an email. I offer a judgment-free space where you will be treated like a person and not a diagnosis or set of symptoms. Nobody likes to be labeled or feel defective. Let's start your journey today.
