I specialize in the treatment of Adult ADHD. If you’re like many adults with ADHD, you might identify as an overthinker with a quick mind and strong feelings. And it seems like no matter how hard you try, you feel like people think you’re “scattered,” “too sensitive,” or even a little…“lost.” It feels like everyone else has it all figured out, and you’re left behind––beating yourself up for every little thing you do. You just want to live life without “analysis paralysis,” get organized, recover faster from emotional tailspins, and tackle your inner critic...for good.

I’m a Professional Counselor who takes a holistic approach to care and uses a variety of therapeutic interventions.

Everyone can heal. It is my role to be a guide, and support and encourage healing. I have been trained in a multitude of supportive modalities and consider myself to be quite adept at utilizing both traditional and alternative energetic practices. I have worked with difficult and deep seeded issues and consider myself highly effective in working with most issues including substance abuse, thought, emotional and behavioral addictions, and pain. The techniques I utilize are evidenced based, well researched as efficient and effective at supporting healing, and are nonpathologizing and individualized. I integrate with somatic techniques including body centered techniques, breathwork, consciousness development,mindfulness and energetic hypnotherapy. Worth noting is that I completed an extensive 3 year post graduate training program studying energetic processes including energetic psychodrama, breath work and hypnotherapy through the Wellness Institute in Issaquah, Washington. I study and practice yoga and meditation. I offer over 25 years of experience and tailor treatment plans to meet the needs of the individual. I support moving through maladaptive beliefs and letting go of emotional and behavioral patterns that no longer serve you so that you can become more masterful at creating meaningful and joyous experience.

I have a heart for helping people develop their inner strength, build deeper relationships with the people around them, and rediscover their joy... In addition, I enjoy getting to learn from clients each day and the personal growth that comes with accompanying you on the journey toward healing.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, family conflict, or major life changes. For over 40 years, I've helped hundreds of people find hope, healing, and practical solutions during life's most challenging seasons. I provide a caring, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. As a lifelong Christian, I believe people can overcome even difficult circumstances, and I work alongside my clients to build on their strengths and create lasting change.

I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to slow down, listen to our bodies, and meet ourselves with care. Much of what we carry shows up not only in our thoughts and emotions but also in the nervous system and body. My role is to provide a steady space where you can notice what is happening inside, find balance, and open to new ways of relating to yourself and to others. My approach draws on Somatic Experiencing, Transforming Touch, and attachment-based healing, along with the insights of polyvagal theory. Early experiences often shape how we connect with ourselves and the world. When those experiences are disrupted, we may carry patterns of tension, disconnection, or self-doubt. Through gentle touch, nervous system support, and relational presence, we create the conditions for your body to settle and for new, healthier pathways to take root. I work with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, or relationship challenges, as well as those seeking a deeper sense of presence and connection. I also work with children through a regulation-based approach that is creative and playful, while supporting deeper attachment and early developmental repair. In our work together we may pay attention to breath, posture, and sensations alongside the stories and feelings that arise. These experiences hold wisdom and can guide us toward awareness and change. Clients often describe me as calm, present, and approachable. I trust that you are already doing your best with the challenges you have faced. Together we will move at a pace that feels supportive, finding a rhythm between safety and growth.

I believe in a collaborative approach to helping clients. As they tell their story I join with them to find their strengths and with those strengths develop healthy coping skills. I provide a confidential and supportive space for people to grow and to heal. Each of us has a life story to tell with trials and challenges as well as hopes and dreams and I like listening to the stories. I practice brief solution focused techniques to help in keeping therapy a short term process.

At Wallflower Connection Therapy Services, I understand that some of the most beautiful and meaningful moments in life come from quietly observing, reflecting, and finding your own place in the world. Inspired by The Perks of Being a Wallflower, I aim to create a space where individuals who may feel like they don’t quite fit in or are silently navigating their emotions can come forward and be seen. Much like the story’s protagonist, I believe that everyone has a unique journey, and my work is to help you reconnect with yourself in a way that is compassionate, empowering, and restorative. I specialize in working with those who may feel overlooked or invisible—whether it's trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions that leave you feeling disconnected. My goal is to help you find your voice, your power, and your peace.

I work with individuals navigating stress, mood concerns, life transitions, and concerns related to performance at work, home, and in their relationships. I take an active and collaborative approach to accurately identify root causes and develop actionable plans to address them.

Do you feel like your nervous system is always “on”? Like your mind never really rests, your emotions swing fast and deep, and everyday life feels heavier than it should? Maybe you grew up in an environment that didn’t feel safe, predictable, or nurturing. Maybe you were the “mature” child, the invisible one, or the one who had to figure things out on your own. And later in life, you discovered you’re neurodivergent, which suddenly explained a lot, but also raised new questions about who you are and why things have always felt so hard. You might notice patterns of ending up in emotionally unavailable or abusive relationships. I work with adults who have childhood trauma and are late-diagnosed or self-identified as neurodivergent. My approach focuses on healing at the root through parts work, inner child healing, trauma-informed cognitive therapy, and guided experiential exercises. Together, we explore patterns, process stored trauma, and build internal safety and self-trust. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You don’t have to know exactly what’s wrong or how to explain it perfectly. If you’re tired of repeating painful patterns, carrying so much alone, and feeling disconnected from yourself, you’re not alone — support is possible, and I'm here for you.
