We all want some peace and joyout of life. But that can feel out of reach when we're carrying unprocessedemotions, sometimes from events that happened long ago, sometimes from lastweek. Work with me and we can discover, explore, and lift what's weighing onyou, with curiosity and without judgment.

Much of my work is with peopleliving under conscious or subconscious shame: the belief that something issomething wrong with you. That belief tends to sit underneath addiction,codependency, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse, and it rarely lifts on itsown. I know it isn't easy to sit down with someone new and talk about thehardest parts of your life. That's why taking this step shows your strength.There is no shame in recognizing that we can't do it all on our own. Shame canbe traumatic, and trauma can often lead to toxic shame. I can help.

I keep sessions casual and grounded, and we move at your pace. You are the most important person in theroom. I can help you understand why you're behaving the way you are, build onthe patterns that serve you, and change the ones that don't. We'll try differentcoping techniques and skills until we find the ones that give you real results.

I hold a master's degree inmental health counseling and am a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance AbuseCounselor (CASAC-T). Because my training is in co-occurring disorders, I'mcomfortable working with complex diagnoses. I work with adults of all ages andlife stages, including clients whose lives have been impacted by the criminaljustice system.

My theoretical orientation iseclectic. I draw on the range of modalities listed on this page and tailor eachsession to the person in front of me, rather than the other way around. I willshow you that the quality of your life can be better, and that you absolutely deserveit!
