About

About Me

People go to therapy for different reasons. Some need assistance to find motivation, or change patterns that no longer serve them. Some clients are looking for a safe place to process past or recent trauma which has left them feeling shut down. I use a variety of approaches to help my clients, depending on their needs. I have been trained in Attachment-Based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative, Person-Centered, Strengths Based, Trauma Focused, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

​

My experience includes attachment issues, grief and loss, trauma, ADHD, mood and anxiety disorders, chronic illness and caregiver care.

I don't believe that there's only one way to heal. Some people find peace in structure or routine. Others need to be outdoors and have flexibility. Whatever your growth style, I hope that I can help you on your path to finding what works for you, adaptive skills to help flex with the hard moments, and a space that you feel comfortable processing.

Specializing in Anxiety Treatment, Depression, Trauma, ADHD, Chronic Illness & Caregiver Support

Anxiety

Imagine you're walking down the street and suddenly you start to feel uneasy. Your heart might start racing, your palms might get sweaty, and your mind might race with thoughts about something going wrong. It's like your brain is on high alert, looking out for any potential danger, even if there isn't an obvious threat around.

​

Depression

Depression is like losing the color and warmth from life. It's as if your emotions have taken a step back, leaving you with a sense of numbness. Things that used to excite you might now seem distant, almost like they're happening to someone else. Your motivation to do things you normally enjoy can plummet, making even simple tasks feel like climbing a mountain.

​

Trauma 

Trauma is the aftermath of distressing experiences that shake us emotionally and mentally. It can create feelings of anxiety, flashbacks, sleep problems and affect our relationships.

​

ADHD

Do you find it difficult to sit still, maintain focus, or stay organized? ADHD stands for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and it's like having a unique wiring in the brain that can make focusing, controlling impulses, and staying organized a bit more challenging.

Imagine your brain as a control center for all the things you do – like listening to someone talk, reading a book, or finishing a task. In people with ADHD, this control center might work a little differently. It's not that they don't want to pay attention or be organized – it's just that their brain sometimes has trouble managing these things.

​

Chronic Illness 

Have you ever felt like your body is sending you unexpected challenges that just won't go away? That's a bit like what living with a chronic illness can feel like. Chronic illness refers to health conditions that stick around for the long haul, often lasting months or even a lifetime. These conditions might not have a simple "cure," but they can be managed with care and support.

​

Caregiver Support

Caring for someone you love can be both rewarding and challenging. Therapy can provide you with the understanding, tools, and guidance you need on this journey. Being a caregiver can sometimes be overwhelming, and that's why it's important to have a space to talk, share, and learn.
