About
Do you feel stuck, spiraling with anxiety, depressed, or exhausted from holding it all together? You may be over-functioning to feel safe and in control or completely shutting down when it all feels like too much. The weight of grief, depression, trauma, strained relationships, emotional abuse, and work stress - it can all add up, leaving you drained and unsure how to heal or cope. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. Together, we’ll uncover the root causes, release what’s keeping you stuck, and create healthy coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and relational difficulties so you can feel grounded and calm. My mission is to help others heal & restore peace and health to their lives. I use talk therapy (CBT), and science-based, integrated mind, body & spirit (brainspotting & IFS) to help my clients overcome anxiety, depression, & heal from trauma and childhood wounds. I also offer Christian counseling if that is an important part of your life. You are worth the beautiful healing that can take place inside of you through therapy. You can visit my website to schedule an appointment or email me to set up a consult call. On that call, we can discuss your goals and what you would like to see change in your life. I'm excited for you and all that is to come in your healing journey! Specialties: Most of the clients I work with are navigating through anxiety, relational issues, betrayal or childhood trauma, career challenges, life transitions, divorce & separation, or emotional abuse. I love working with those who want to dig deeper and find the root of their issues. Other areas of focus are: self-esteem, perfectionism, ADHD, over-functioning, co-dependency & people pleasing. Credentials & Experience: I'm a Brainspotting Trauma Practitioner. This brain-body therapy helps release stored trauma, reduce anxiety, calm the nervous system, improve mood, and build confidence when talk therapy alone isn't enough.
"I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT), Brainspotting Trauma Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I believe in a holistic approach that incorporates spiritual, mental, relational, emotional, and physical health. I also welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into your therapy if this is important to you."
