Beginning the journey to finding healing and wholeness can be scary. That’s why I believe in partnering with clients to guide them through the process of growing, learning, and becoming themselves. I use trauma-informed individual talk therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients reach their goals in a confidential and welcoming atmosphere. I strongly believe that all people have the right and potential to heal and grow and I look to empower all clients through the use of evidence-based practice.

Let's face it - life can be tough! Maybe you're anxious, depressed, stressed, or just plain worn out from dealing with this fast-paced world. Is a piece of you crying out for change and feels like there has to be more to life than "this?" There is! By working together, we will ignite your strengths, uncover your authentic inner wisdom, and support you as you learn to embrace the amazing person you already are. I offer a safe space for you to untangle from the patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that leave you feeling drained. We will work together to deepen self-compassion, explore underlying issues, and ways to live your best life.

Anxiety, Depression, Relationships, Addictions, Trauma. Counseling/Therapy is investment in quality of life. People seek help when frustrated, confused, overwhelmed. Does addiction (substance/behavior) control your life? Does a challenging relationship frustrate you? Are you tired of trying to change your partner? or trying to change yourself for your partner? Have you experienced painful loss? Do you frequently feel tense and uneasy? Does the life you live differ from the life you want?

No matter your age, occupation, or lifestyle every lived experience thus far in your life has contributed to who you are today. These experiences have shaped your way of seeing the world ultimately effecting your thoughts and actions. Therapy provides you a safe space to deeply explore these experiences, thoughts, and actions or even just vent about them. I believe that you’re the author to your own life, and therapy can be a great place to turn a new page, start a new chapter, and write your book in the way you want!

Mental health is an important component of living a fulfilled life. As people grow, their mental health needs change based on their experiences. I believe in the power of informing and working to address those needs through therapy.

“Am I broken?” This is a question that many of us ask ourselves when our lives become filled with suffering. It often arises after an experience leaves us struggling to return to normal or causes chaos to become our new normal. It's something considered after comparing ourselves to the people around us, friends, family, colleagues and seeing our differences. It is something we wonder when unending worry robs our life of joy or when overwhelming sadness and mental fog obscure the possibility of anything better. In actuality we do not break and within our misery we will find the tools needed to build ourselves a life worth living.

Is your life filled with stress and worries? Are you struggling with past or recent hurts? Does it feel like your family or relationships are in disarray? Have you noticed parenting is not easy? Add in aspects such as anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, neglect, etc. and life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we are worried about seeking help or don't know where to start. Therapy is a step toward healing and hope for change.

Counseling is much more than problem solving. It's an opportunity to acknowledge your strengths and build on them to help prepare for life's challenges, big and small. I believe that first and foremost, successful counseling is built on trust and connection. Many people who struggle are reluctant to reach out. If you are seeking help you've taken an important first step.

The Collective Therapy Center, where we advocate for a collective approach to therapy. Our philosophy emphasizes the significance of collaborative engagement, involving not only the client but also their caregivers and support systems. The mission of The Collective Therapy Center is to establish a secure and inviting environment that fosters the expression of individual experiences through diverse mediums. We employ the transformative power of art, play, and language to articulate emotions and facilitate healing. Our comprehensive range of services is tailored to meet clients at their unique developmental and emotional stages.

All are equal with needs specific and unique. I believe in the ongoing development and resilience of the human mind, body and spirit. I seek to help children, adolescents, and adults of all cultural backgrounds. Adapting to change, traumatic, and everyday experiences is critical.

Taking the first step into therapy can be intimidating. Being vulnerable with a complete stranger isn't the most comforting thought. It is my goal to provide an environment that allows you to feel safe to show up and be authentic without fear of judgement. We are all human beings and need help from time to time. My approach to counseling is a collaborative effort aimed at increasing self-awareness and establishing a sense of empowerment in your own life. I focus on meeting clients where they are and facilitating positive change for a healthy, successful life.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, questions of purpose, life transitions or familial and relational concerns, know that I will meet you where you are today. As a counselor, I work to create a safe space for you, explore the mysteries of life, heal and grow into becoming who you were created to be. I value integrating emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual exploration in the counseling process creatively. You are here for a reason and you are here for a purpose. It is worth navigating what an abundant life could look like.

Do you get stuck in your thinking? Do you sometimes push people away when really all you want to do is connect with them better? What about your habits- are they helping? Or are they hurting? Don't you think that there might be other ways?

Now accepting new clients. I strive to create a comfortable space, working with my clients to help them make positive changes. I respect the individuality of each person and the uniqueness of your life experiences and personal struggles. I am affirming of all sexualities and gender identities. It is my belief that you do not have to face your struggles alone. My counseling experience includes working with concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, sexuality and gender, trauma, relationships, and life transitions.

Many clients I see come in after suffering significantly from riding the highs and lows of intense emotional ups and downs and are in search of learning new coping skills, or strengthening existing ones. Some of these folks suffer from self-harming behaviors, suicidality, addiction, eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, or anxiety and depression. The common thread among them, however, is the desire to not only more skillfully regulate their emotions, but to ultimately build a life that they want to live, not just one that they simply are trying to endure.

Are you struggling with emotional pain? Do you have a history of unhealthy relationships? As someone who personally experienced the life change that can come through counseling, I strive to be a counselor who walks with you through your healing journey. If you are struggling with any type of trauma, grief, mental health, or relationship issues, I get it! And if you're ready to experience positive change, as I did, I'd love to help.

Life got you down? Trauma holding you back? Or are you looking for someone to listen? It's an honor to be a counselor and would love to help you navigate this crazy thing called life. I'm passionate about working with children, teenagers, young adults, and new mothers. I have experience working with all types of traumas and abuses, PTSD, foster care/adoption, divorce issues, behavioral issues, peer relationships, and Per/Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders. If you're going through a hard time or know someone who is and could benefit from counseling, please call me today.

My mission is to be a place where one can come to feel safe, whole and filled with hope. I am someone who is passionate about my clients and want to see nothing but the best for each and every client that walks into my office. I bring a person-centered approach to each session and lean into forming a strong rapport with my clients. I also use other methods like cognitive behavior therapy and emotion focused therapy to meet the client where they're at and help to facilitate change. I believe we have the power to change the way that we are living and build ourselves into a strong, healthy and whole person.

Taking the first step towards therapy can be challenging, but it is a courageous and fulfilling decision! As someone who has experienced therapy first-hand, I can vouch for its benefits! Life can be tough, whether it’s navigating a loss, breaking free from negative family patterns, or just needing a safe space to process your thoughts. Therapy provides that space. The weight of these experiences can leave us feeling isolated, lost, and overwhelmed, but you don't have to face them alone. Whether you're an individual, couple, or family, know that I'm here to support you through these tough times.
