I am passionate about working with diverse groups of people who suffer from trauma, whether from death, sexual or physical abuse, health complications, life stressors, or other complex matters; and have over 20 years of combined educational and practical experience doing so. With the understanding that life does not come with a “how to” guide, my goal as a therapist is to help you navigate the challenges of life which presents us with difficulties that may seem insurmountable. While you may not fully understand which direction may be the best route, sometimes talking things through can make all the difference.Although we don't always have control over a situation, we can always control our response to that situation. To do that, sometimes it requires a shift in thinking, behaving, or a combination of the two. Independently you may not know where to start, but together, we can work towards your goal of obtaining balance, finding purpose or attaining achievement.Note: Pre-Licensed working under the supervision of Christopher Mathe, Ph.D.
