Becoming integrated and feeling whole is a process. The beauty is we are all capable of healing. Traumatic events in our lives via developmental stressors or one-time occurrences can greatly impact us and how we cope in the world. The coping skills early on were our best survival skills but may not work for us now. Time in counseling, reflection and motivation can help us move forward. Healing is possible and I believe this wholeheartedly. I have 25 years of counseling experience in a variety of settings inclusive of community mental health, school settings and the military both in US and overseas. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and focus on the nervous system and moving "stuck" energy. Spirituality, play and improv can be weaved into the practice setting by request. I bring hope and eagerness in working with you where you are on your journey while trusting the process of your own strength and power to heal. I am licensed in the states of Ohio, Maine and Massachusetts and Maryland.
