Are anxiety, anger, or depression controlling your life? Are old, painful experiences causing you to react in ways that don't feel good or that push people away? Do you find yourself stuffing your emotions until you blow up? I was a Registered Nurse for 25 years before I became a therapist, so I understand how unhealed trauma can impact physical health, self-worth, and relationships. I can help you learn to nurture yourself without feeling guilty, find relief from emotional pain, and create healthier relationships with yourself and others. Learn how to stop just surviving and start thriving. Call me today to get started!

I specialize in helping adults of emotionally immature parents recover from the unique kinds of trauma that are often experienced as a result. My commitment is to work with you, the whole person, not the labels you might have been given. Let's work together to help you get unstuck and moving forward again. Call now to find out how I can help you today!

The overwhelming fear, shame, and sadness that often come with unresolved trauma and abuse can be really hard to talk about, especially with a complete stranger. As someone who's recovered from PTSD, get it. My commitment to you is to create a safe space, approach our work together with compassion, respect, and honesty, and to meet you where you are.
