Have you been through a traumatic experience that impacts your life negatively? Do you suffer with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem? Do your struggles stop you from living the life you always wanted? This could make anyone feel alone, exhausted, and disconnected from even your closest loved ones. For many people, reaching out for help can be daunting and scary. But if you’re looking for someone friendly and supportive to share your struggles with, you’re in the right place! My passion is working with adults, couples, and families that are navigating struggles like anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, sexual abuse, relationship issues, veteran issues and many more.  

First hand, I know the power that negative beliefs can have on one's life. I also know what freedom and healing from those beliefs feels like. Wow, it's amazing! I am weak. I am not enough. I am invisible. Have you had similar thoughts to these or know that somewhere in yourself you do not fully love and accept yourself? Together, we can identify those beliefs and work toward healing and freedom. You do not have to be in-chained to those beliefs and doubt forever. Throughout my journey, I have spent time stateside and abroad, which gave me an even greater passion for people and helping people understand themselves more and truly find their voice. During my career in education, I became equipped in understanding young people and how to assist them in navigating life along with their parents. In addition, this lead to me specializing in trauma, the use of EMDR, and mindfulness methods as a source of healing. I enjoy working with individuals from young adolescents to mature adults, couples and families including blended families. With support and healing, you will find your VOICE again.  

My vision is to help LGBTQ+ grow in ways they never imagined possible. I provide mental health counseling for adults and adolescents dealing with trauma, addiction and codependence. I work with individuals and couples. I especially enjoy working with couples. I serve the LGBTQ+ community, and I am proud to be part of that community as well. I am very passionate about helping my clients become authentically themselves in every way. I want my clients to know they are accepted and they matter. I provide support for LGBTQ+ clients who are navigating negative experiences, sexuality/gender issues, trauma, relationship issues and mental health concerns. I take what I have learned through experience and education and assist my clients in the areas that create stress, anxiety and depression.  

What the Caterpillar Calls the End of Life, the Master Calls the Butterfly. – Richard Bach This was the first sentence of my personal statement which got me into Northwestern University where I got my graduate degree. Psychotherapy changes hearts and ignites transformation in an individual; the same way that the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. In therapy, I get to watch people grow into magical, beautiful, bright-winged butterflies. I hope that Sauna can be a place for us to be human together. To self-inquire and get curious about ourselves. To know that even in the darkness – you’re not alone.  

You're ready to make a change in how you show up in relationships. You want healing, deep self-understanding, the ability to cultivate fulfilling connections with others, and to feel empowered in your most authentic self. You're in the right place- Let's find your balance. I specialize in relational therapy for individuals, couples, and families who want to enhance their relationships, heal past familial wounds, and, as a queer therapist myself, embrace and celebrate their unique LGBTQIA+ identity.
