Welcome.  I’m glad you found your way to my page.

Sometimes things don’t go the way you had hoped. You experience the sudden loss of a beloved person or situation. Your relationships with friends or family seem to be complicated, no matter how hard you try. Worry or sadness weighs you down, and you feel isolated. It can all begin to feel overwhelming and too much to bear alone.

Sometimes we all just need a person to hear our stories and help us find a way to carry them. I hope I can be that person for you.

In my practice you can expect a welcoming place to speak your truth and be heard. I will be a non-judgmental, compassionate listener who provides insights and asks clarifying questions which can help you understand your emotions, thoughts, and responses. I may make suggestions that you haven’t considered. Together, we will talk about what you want to get from therapy and make a plan about how to get there.

One of my passions is working with people who have experienced some sort of trauma in their lives. I love to help people find their way to a calmer existence where peace and security are possible. I work with people who have endured single-episode trauma (like a car accident) or complex trauma (like a long-term toxic relationship). 

My area of special interest and training is in the understanding and treatment of Religious Trauma. People can experience painful and damaging encounters in high-control environments, including religious communities. These experiences can have long-term effects. The good news is there is treatment and recovery.

I also love to collaborate and share my experiences with fellow professionals and organizations. I am available for individual and group consultation, speaking engagements, retreats, and professional instruction.
