Clients come to me looking for someone who “gets” their story. They want relief from daily symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as a never-ending struggle with people pleasing and perfectionism. Therapy should be a place where you feel safe to be your authentic self and supported every step of the way.

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed by the stress of everyday life? Does the pain you see at work, at school, or in your personal relationships threaten to steal your capacity for joy and peace? Have you experienced profound loss or trauma that makes it difficult to believe in any good in the world? Amanda Gorman wrote, "When day comes we step out of the shade, aflame and unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it. If only we're brave enough to be it." Can I help you in finding this light within yourself?

Let me help you overcome the challenges of daily living. My name is Scott, and my past experience has taught me that helping one resolve childhood trauma, often a root cause for many mental health issues, is as rewarding an experience for a therapist as it is for a patient. I also enjoy helping couples overcome marital issues, as well as working with parents on how to better approach their children. Helping parents is something I enjoy. I can work through many different modalities to help you in areas of depression, anxiety, and other disorders. I have worked in counseling for 35 years helping others at stages of life.

Hi there, I'm Kirsten! Do you think you are not good enough, you are a failure, or have another negative belief about yourself? Those come from our past experiences, and EMDR can help you process through past events and allow you to have more positive beliefs about yourself. I am trained in EMDR and DBT and can help you with negative beliefs, regulating your emotions, and improving relationships. I offer a person-centered approach to therapy, which means my clients call the shots on what they would like to focus on. I can give you recommendations based on your needs, but ultimately, we go at your speed and the direction you want to.

You are beginning an exciting internal journey toward enhanced contentment and joy! I'm honored to walk with you. Great therapy should look like a lovely conversation between friends (with some amazing science and skills mixed in). We are not taught that anxiety, anger, and sadness are often created from reactions in our Autonomic Nervous System and depend upon which region of the brain is doing the "thinking." I use Polyvagal Theory to help you take charge of your automatic reactions and choose responses that serve you.

A lot of the people I work with look like they have it together from the outside. They're keeping up with responsibilities, showing up for others, and doing what needs to get done. But underneath, there's anxiety, exhaustion, or a quiet sense that something isn't working. Some are navigating trauma that doesn't always look obvious, relationship patterns they keep repeating, or a version of themselves they don't fully understand yet. Others are couples who love each other but keep getting stuck in the same arguments. If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

You’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t break. Maybe school, relationships, or gaming/gambling habits are starting to impact your daily life, or you’re a parent worried about your child. You’ve tried to manage it on your own, but it’s not working. I help college students and adults understand what’s driving these patterns so you can regain control, feel more stable, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
