Healing begins now. I'm here to help clients heal from their trauma. Tired of using trauma responses and skills that are no longer working? Or you are not sure what is a trauma response? Feeling so angry, numb, just don't want to think, feel or remember anything. The blank just isn't working anymore. The blank didn't work. Wondering if any or all of it was your fault. The answer is, it is not your fault. Learning to love yourself is hard for trauma survivors. I get that. Trauma healing is at your pace. Don't ever have to share what you do not want to. Nondisclosure is normal. One day you will know and feel that you are enough.
I offer the specialty of being trauma informed using psychoanalytic. Understanding the origins of the negative cognitive belief, relating it back to the present behaviors is apart of healing. The past is in the present. I use EMDR, talk therapy and mindfulness. I offer individual, couple and family therapy. I have a nonjudgmental approach with a safe space.
I have a direct upfront approach with empathy. I have tons of resources for client's needs as needed. I have years of experiences with developmental, and complex trauma. Having extensive experience in working with foster youth, complex trauma, the homeless population, addictions, and the reentry population. I believe everyone should have a safe place.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
