Ways we can work together
Welcome to our support community. Whether you're facing transitions, grief or feelings of anxiety, you're not alone. Many seek to understand themselves better and strive for personal growth. Help is available, and we're here to support you on your journey.
Old baggage often shapes how we react to loved ones — more to the past than the present. Therapy helps you tell the difference, catch thought distortions early, and communicate more effectively.
You'll practice honoring your own needs while making room for your partner's, and staying present rather than replaying old history. Couples work turns this into shared practice — treating each other as collaborators, not opponents.

Trauma Care
I provide compassionate support for those dealing with adverse childhood experiences, helping to integrate past challenges and promote emotional well-being in daily life.

As a clinician I have had the honor of supervising both peers and interns spanning a decade. My background with the National Council for Behavioral Health, National Alliance of Mental Illness and my years of work as a clinician in community mental health facilities makes me uniquely qualified regarding assessment, diagnosis and evidence based clinical practice. I welcome the opportunity to continue to increase our rich pool of clinicians and help them become equipped to do this amazing work!
While I have a limited number of spaces available for weekly clients, I am available for assessment/evaulations and referrals. Please contact me with questions and concerns for more information.
I have taught at the University level for over two decades, and bring my educational expertise to the public. My most recent work has been around attacking stigma in the mental health field, working with the suicide prevention program and the multicultural board in my community to effect change on a larger scale. I have also worked with National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and the National Council of Behavioral Health to educate laypeople to be aware of signs and symptoms and am trained as a Mental Health First Aid trainer through the Council.
