I enjoy working with people who are experiencing life transitions, changing careers, going through grief or loss, experiencing anxiety, looking for support with trauma, developing coping skills, or just seeking support with the messiness of life. I want to work with clients who are motivated to engage in self-reflection and make a commitment to creating space for themselves to work through their current patterns that are no longer serving them. I meet the person where they are at and understand what ways they would like to make changes in their life.

Accepting New Clients! Many of us experience events and symptoms that get in the way of living our hopes and dreams. I work with individuals who feel stuck, anxious, lost, burned out or simply not themselves; BUT seek healing and change. Change doesn't come overnight and I am here to support the process. My mission is to help you understand yourself (thoughts, patterns and behaviors) and your story (past, present and future) and to empower you to fall in love with taking care of yourself. I provide a safe, supportive and open space where you may be your authentic self in hopes that you can feel empowered to do so outside of session!

Ever feel consumed by worry, anxiousness or a need to have it all figured out? Hoping for more balance while dealing with life's challenges? Or maybe you want to make a change and just aren’t sure where to start? If any of these apply to you, then you would likely benefit from a collaborate therapy approach. Sometimes we will talk ourselves out of things, not fully trusting ourselves or end up in situations that don’t serve us well due to concerns for what others might think or where we feel we should be in life. A collaborative, interactive therapy space could help you better connect with your inner voice. Read more on this below.

Research tells us that, of all factors, the therapeutic relationship has the most significant influence on treatment outcome. My primary focus of treatment is to establish and maintain a genuine and collaborative relationship; one which allows room for growth and healing. I approach treatment wholeheartedly and care deeply about those with whom I work. You will likely find me to be warm, insightful, and transparent. Drawing from Humanistic Psychology, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Social Justice, my holistic approach to therapy is individualized to meet the unique needs and goals of each patient.

I look forward to helping you reach your goals. Utilizing counseling to take an active role in managing your mental health is a step towards your improved health. We can make changes in our health with effort, support and making the time for your self in this ever demanding world we live. Investing in yourself is your biggest investment. Sometimes therapy may be a place to sit with feelings and emotions, to gain strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, other behaviors, family/work challenges and conflicts, or you may need time and space to reflect, make decisions, receive professional feedback, guidance, skills and validation.

In a busy, overwhelming, too-much world we all need to find ways to care for ourselves. Reaching out for therapy can be a way to carve out some space to nourish and connect to yourself. Maybe you're here because you feel overwhelmed and anxious. You know you have deep wisdom inside but the overwhelm is making it hard to access it. Perhaps there is self-judgment for feeling “too sensitive”. You’re doing big things yet you still feel small. You long to feel calm, centered, and connected. My grounded, intuitive, and collaborative approach can help!

Accepting New Clients - Summer 2024! My approach is heavily informed by the narrative worldview. I believe in helping people understand the relationship they have with the problems that are blocking them from their preferred ways of living. Sometimes that looks like depression holding them to their beds, or anxiety stealing away your confidence, or shame interfering with your relationships. Other times, these problems can have long histories and contexts within society - the image of the “ideal man or woman,” familial expectations of success and prosperity, or unrealistic timelines of life that people become beholden to.

You have been juggling it all: work, relationships, family, life. Yet, in the middle of the night, you find yourself wide awake with worry, your mind racing wondering how you will get through the next day. Maybe you feel stuck and overwhelmed at this point in your life and believe you “should” feel happy and grateful but can’t figure out what is at the root of your unhappiness. Perhaps an inner critic has you questioning yourself, and you're ready to see yourself in a kinder, more accepting way. You might be here because a significant event like losing a loved one, divorce, or medical diagnosis has you feeling lost and alone.

Psychologist Carl Rogers said, “In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?” My clinical approach is to provide a therapeutic connection that helps clients acknowledge, bear, and put into perspective all the struggles, messiness, small delights, bliss and everything in between that we experience as part of the human condition. Therapy is an opportunity to delve into that quarrel with the self.

Sometimes you need a bit more support from an outside source to see issues through a new lens. I am here to help you do that. We can start by saying that anxiety, substance use, depression, rumination, and approval seeking, are all normal human challenges. Many of these problems surface in early adulthood which is why I specialize in helping people launch into adulthood with better coping skills.
