We all face challenges that can leave us feeling disconnected to ourselves and others. Perhaps you feel hopeless, unloveable, or stuck in an area of your life. You have tried your best to get through it on your own, but something is not working. We often fear that if we acknowledge our pain, grief, and longings that they will completely overwhelm us. But they don't have to. We were not made to go through these experiences alone. I believe that growth, wholeness, and freedom from past wounds a...

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to feel more grounded, less overwhelmed, and more connected to the world around you? Trauma has a way of causing us to believe that we are less than who we are--less good, less lovable, and less safe. Trauma can cause us to disconnect from our own lives, the people we love, and our sense of spiritual belonging, causing us to feel adrift, anxious, and unsettled. I specialize in trauma informed counseling and have seen amazing changes when people prioritiz...
My perspective involves connecting our minds, bodies, and emotions to increase awareness towards areas of our lives where we may feel stuck, in conflict, overwhelmed, or shut off.

With this knowledge, my hope is to support you in feeling more connected, compassionate, and accepting towards all parts of yourself. Some of my expe...
