Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for yourself or your child takes care, intention, and courage, and I’m honored you’re exploring what support could look like for you or your family. 

You may be someone who always seems to have it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside. Maybe you find yourself people-pleasing, second-guessing your decisions, or carrying the weight of past experiences that continue to shape your relationships and sense of self. Perhaps you're tired of anxiety, self-doubt, or patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or stuck. If you're longing to feel more grounded, confident, and connected—to yourself and the people you care about—you don't have to navigate that journey alone.

Together, we'll explore the experiences that have shaped you with curiosity and compassion. We'll identify your needs, deepen your self-awareness, and strengthen your ability to trust yourself and advocate for what matters to you. As healing unfolds, you'll build a more secure relationship with yourself, cultivate healthier and more fulfilling relationships with others, and move through everyday life with greater peace, resilience, and authenticity.

If your child is experiencing challenges at school and in relationships with impulse control, emotion regulation, school difficulties, attachment struggles, and social skills, then I'm the right fit. Through engaging activities and an attachment focus, I help children express themselves, build secure connections, and develop effective coping strategies to increase their success at school and at home.

I specialize in working with individuals recovering from relationship trauma, whether from romantic relationships or childhood experiences. A holistic approach recognizes that emotional and relational well-being is shaped by interconnected areas of your life, your physical health, relationships, work, spirituality, family dynamics, and financial stability as an integrated whole. Drawing on focused expertise in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, social anxiety, insomnia and sleep issues, ADHD, OCD, and anger management, this work helps clients understand the patterns these experiences create and build practical tools for lasting healing. Trauma and unmanaged mental health symptoms often lead to substance use and addictions as individuals attempt to self-regulate and cope with overwhelming emotional pain.

If you're cycling through relationships that feel familiar but destructive, struggling with sleep, wrestling with anxiety that won't respond to medication alone, dealing with anger that feels out of control, or reaching for substances to quiet overwhelming feelings, you're not broken. Your nervous system and behavioral patterns developed as intelligent adaptations to what you've experienced.

As a clinician trained in EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, trauma treatment becomes active rather than talk-based, helping your brain process traumatic memories so they no longer trigger the same emotional and physical reactions.  As a CAMS-II Certified Anger Management Specialist, the focus is on understanding the root of angry responses and developing practical skills to interrupt reactive patterns before they damage your relationships. With ACC credentials in addiction counseling, the work addresses how addictive patterns developed as coping mechanisms and how to target root causes rather than just managing symptoms. These active methods create real shifts in how your brain and body respond to triggers.

Together, we map out exactly why your nervous system responds the way it does, how old wounds get replayed in new relationships, and what specific skills actually interrupt the cycle. We explore the whole person rather than just the symptoms, working to understand the experiences and strengths that shape your life. We address trauma, anxiety, depression, insomnia, anger, and addictions not as isolated problems, but as interconnected pieces of your story.

The goal is to help you strengthen self-awareness, rebuild trust in yourself, build resilience, improve relationships, process difficult experiences, and reconnect with your authentic self so you can move forward with greater confidence, purpose, and hope.
