More About Me
As a therapist, I consider it my greatest honor to walk through these difficulties with you, supporting you and cheering you on in your progress.
I help people, just like you, who are ready to start enjoying life again but need a little support to get there.
I help my clients find peace after trauma, insomnia, and illness by equipping them with the tools they need to overcome the difficulties life throws their way and help them to understand themselves better.
Many of today’s solutions for trauma, insomnia, and pain/illness management are a one-size-fits-all approach that does not consider lifestyle factors, leading so many to feel like there is no hope for healing. I know each of you is unique with unique strengths and needs, and so each step is customized to you and the goals you have in mind.
Together, we will learn coping skills to help manage stress and anxiety that are causing you sleepless nights and constant worry. Then, we will address the unwanted thoughts and difficult emotions that continue to intrude on your day to day experiences and discover the tools that work best for you. Through our work together, you’ll have the skills and confidence you need to feel excited about life again.
I am dedicated to helping people stop worrying and start living.
After graduation, I have continued to focus my training and experience to help those who have experienced significant difficulties in their life. I have the personal and professional experience you need and deserve when working with a professional counselor.
You want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to have experience with trauma, insomnia, or chronic pain and illness, right?
I get it.
While I was in school to become a counselor, I spent years working in a local hospital and sleep/insomnia clinic as a non-medical staff providing support to patients and clinicians. This experience significantly influenced my desire to work with people who suffered from chronic pain, illness, trauma, and insomnia.
I know sometimes it can be exhausting to have to explain your experiences over and over again. When you work with me, you will not only get a trained therapist, you will be working with someone who truly understands what you are going through.
