You are a priority
The desire to feel better about ourselves is a part of our intrinsic being. You find yourself struggling with anxiety, gender or sexual identity, traumatic grief or loss, or trauma symptoms. I can be there as a support and sounding board. With the goal of accepting your perfectly imperfect self, we can work together effectively to find your awe. Additionally, we can focus on techniques to help you make it through each day.
Discovering that you are deserving and important can be both life-changing and attainable.

Betrayal Trauma
Death continues to be a shock for many of us. The one rule of life is that we will die. That being said, death can be traumatic, unexpected, and appear self-imposed.
Grief & Loss
As an Emergency Department social worker, I reached a point in my 15-year career in which I “knew” that only my peers could understand my dysfunction, pain, and dissociative symptoms.
Healthcare Workers
I LOVE working with teenagers. Most question my sanity. There is no population more honest and themselves than a teenager.
Teens
Symptoms of trauma show up differently in all humans. Some experience an early life revelation that leads to extensive therapy; others find that they reach a place of “stability” that allows for exploration of trauma.
