Navigating the complexities of the human experience, your relationship to connection and meaning feels complicated and often challenging. You might be feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, sad and/or a little lost. You want to get un-stuck, or slow down, or feel more connected. You’ve been trying for a long time, and it’s been really hard. I see you. You make sense to me. You don't have to bear that burden alone.

The most important need for individuals is to be truly heard. In my practice I place that need before everything else. My goal is to create an atmosphere of trust that allows the client the freedom to share their most personal experiences without fear of judgement. For over 30 years I have worked successfully with clients in crisis, those who have endured abuse and/or trauma, parents with issues related to their children, divorce and separation, grief and loss, as well as issues related to everyday living.

Do you sense that there's more to life than you are experiencing? Or maybe you are in transition, or feel stuck in a rut you can't pull out of? You may also sense that you are a spiritual person living a human life, and you want to integrate all of these parts of yourself and improve the quality of your life? No matter what stage of adulthood you are in, you get to live in alignment with your highest values. As a Buddhist/Mindfulness teacher, I will bring an "embodied presence" to our sessions to connect with you and support you in moving forward to live a meaningful spiritual, human life.

Do you find yourself struggling with day to day life or perhaps a dependance on a substance that you know no longer serves you? If so, I am here to help support you through whatever life goals you feel would add to your feeling of fulfillment in life through deeper self-exploration and self-compassion. I have experience working with adults of all ages struggling with substance use, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and disordered eating. My belief is that you already know what you need in order to heal, but that it may just not be aware to you quite yet.

In order for all of us to grow and heal, it is imperative to spend time investigating the deeper elements of our personalities. With that said, an ideal client would be someone interested in putting effort into exploring their innermost thoughts and feelings. I work to offer a multi-faceted approach to treatment that will help my clients work through issues related to the many aspects of self-identity, interpersonal relations, trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression. I consider it a sign of strength to begin searching for a therapist, and a sign of courage to take the leap into deep explorations of Self.

I have a humanistic and client-centered approach. I view the counseling relationship as a collaboration between myself and you. Together we will work towards self-acceptance and self-awareness by dealing with issues such as moods, attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors that may be standing in the way of happiness and contentment in your life. I use an integrative method including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, reality therapy, positive psychotherapy, and mindfulness training with a mind-body-and-soul model.

The clients I tend to gravitate towards are those who are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, struggle with eating disorders/disordered eating, are unpacking unhelpful and often harmful messages that they've internalized, relearning their true selves, and finding a way to safely be embodied in their body and their place in this world.

I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and healing. I feel deeply honored to journey alongside my clients as they face the challenges of being human. I value creating a space for my clients where anything can be said and explored without fear of judgment. I love helping individuals identify and embrace all parts of themselves, even their dark or "shadowy" side. This process can lead to greater self-esteem and authenticity.

Even the most self-aware humans can experience periods of confusion, stuckness, and destabilization, and oftentimes suffering has unconscious roots. I've dedicated my training and education as a helping professional to learn how to unlock messages from the unconscious to promote healing and well-being. I also strive to arm my clients with concrete tools to use independently, long after our work together is completed. I have many years of experience helping people heal, blending a variety of nontraditional and expressive therapeutic approaches with evidence-based interventions to meet the individual needs of the people I serve.

It’s not necessary to be in crisis to seek counseling, but it’s often the push that we need to go deeper. Something wakes us from our auto pilot existence and we feel a hunger for self-examination. Whatever made you take this next step, I believe I can help. I know this can feel overwhelming...but its just another part of the journey. A search for your authentic self or for a balanced, healthy space to challenge yourself to grow and be more. You can be changed by this experience. You will find answers and more questions... But nothing changes & no discoveries are made without beginning...Read more at www.createamindfullife.com

I've been practicing therapy for over 30 years. Perhaps more importantly, I have a family of my own. I have been married for 30 years. I have 3 daughters, a dog and two cats. I think kids are wonderful and my favorite people in the world! I work with individuals of all ages, and couples including marital, engaged and long-term relationships. I especially like doing family therapy, addressing parenting issues and individual work with children; in-depth work with individual adults, focusing on healing and recovery from such debilitating experiences as abuse, chronic depression, anxiety, and identity/self-esteem issues.

Sometimes life happens in a way that lends you to grief, feeling lost, and disconnected from the core of who you are. Grief and loss come in many shapes and sizes, loss of relationships, loss of self, life transitions, general changes, loss of dreams, body changes, aging, health struggles, new life, and death. Maybe there are specific events impacting you and maybe there aren't. Either way, you just feel off and out of alignment with the version of yourself you want to be. How about we give some space to explore who you are, who you aren't, how you got here, what impacts and influences you, and how to embody the whole you?

Sometimes we feel stuck. We’ve tried on our own to heal, grow, and learn but we still find ourselves in the same patterns that have led to a continuous cycle of confusion, shame, and hopelessness. You are not alone. If you have found yourself questioning your worth, your relationships, or your identity, I am here to help. Most of us know, logically, that hardship, distress, and unwanted emotions are a part of life. But sometimes we were not given the correct tools to manage these difficult experiences. Together, I believe we can connect back to your authentic self so that you can lead the life you want.

Together we can create a supportive, nurturing environment where you can explore your experiences, thoughts and emotions at your pace. My ultimate goal is to empower you to take steps towards fulfilment, healing, self acceptance and balance in your life. I prioritize empathy and active listening in sessions and help my clients establish personalized goals, always striving to foster a therapeutic relationship based on trust and genuine understanding. I believe in a holistic approach that considers the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing the interconnectedness of these in one's wellbeing.

Life is really rough right now in so many ways! We have never experienced anything like what we are experiencing right now. Life has been flipped upside down, anxiety is sky high, depression is increasing, relationships are suffering, and those with children are being forced to become homeschool teachers. The sense of balance in our lives has been thrown out. We feel stuck, depressed, anxious, and maybe even hopeless. It is really important to take care of yourself in this space and reach out for help, to talk things through, and figure out how to move forward in a positive direction. You don’t need to stay stuck in this space.

Are you feeling disconnected from your partner? You seem to have the same arguments over and over with no resolution that leave you feeling frustrated, exhausted and lonely. You may have experienced a loss, uncovered infidelity, or you or your loved one is struggling with the aftermath of trauma. The person you once could depend on now feels distant, unsafe, and untrustworthy. Perhaps you are a new couple interested in building a solid foundation for a long lasting and satisfying relationship or have different values to navigate and need help building communication strategies that are proven to support with relationship success.

I help young adult women feel confident, competent, & in control of their lives. My clients are exhausted like you are. Despite being hard working, determined, & creative, they still feel stuck in a loop. They feel like they’re drowning in a storm of stress, high expectations & confusion about the path ahead-- it’s a full time job keeping their head just above the rising water. They vacillate between feeling powerful & powerless, motivated & avoidant, on top of the world & crushed beneath it’s weight. Sometimes they have a formal diagnosis of Anxiety, Depression, or Trauma, and sometimes... well, sometimes life is just hard.

Hi! I am so glad you are considering therapy. Life can be so challenging at times and therapy is a great place to learn about yourself, process any emotions that have held you back from becoming everything you want, and to move toward a direction of healing and hope. I have worked in addiction and mental health for over 10 years in various capacities. I feel honored to hear your story and walk alongside your journey of recovery and healing. My passion is guiding you through trauma to find understanding, compassion and peace within yourself. Working through deep rooted trauma can be difficult.

Have you ever said “ I will never drink again” only to find yourself drinking again? Do you find yourself hiding bottles? Going to different stores each day to buy alcohol? Does your drinking cause shame and guilt? Are you feeling isolated, alone, misunderstood? Are you stuck in the same patterns of behavior? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. Together we can work to help equip you with the necessary tools to help you face and overcome your challenges.
