Most of us act with the best of intentions and don’t always get the results we were expecting. As a counselor, my role is not to tell a client what to do, but rather to help clients examine what their goals are, different ways goals can be achieved, and to provide supportive and honest feedback through a therapeutic relationship. I have lived in and around very diverse communities throughout my life, and I take pride in understanding and honoring everyone’s unique culture and beliefs.

My goal in therapy is to provide an affirming therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe and comfortable to explore your story and express yourself. Together we will build upon your strengths to gain insight, face things that seem too difficult, and find healing in your mind, body, and spirit. I use an integrative strength-based therapeutic approach utilizing techniques from several theories including but not limited to narrative therapy, existential therapy, polyvagal theory, and CBT. Issues I treat include relationships, anxiety, spiritual trauma, substance abuse, body image, depression, grief, self-esteem, and boundaries.

**offering tele therapy*** When a client comes to his/her first session, I often share that they have done the hardest part: to make that initial call and to show up. From there, I look at it as my responsibility to help one feel safe sharing feelings/experiences so that they improve how they currently feel and create the life they want to get excited about living in the future. My approach is direct, simple, empathetic and effective. I have more than 20 years of experience providing therapy to adults and adolescents who are facing significant challenges/crisis' as well as those who are seeking personal growth.

I have a passion for helping individuals and couples, who may have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction. I am eager to support to those navigating mental health challenges and life stressors. For example, one may be struggling with grief, making change, conflict in relationships with others and self, and low self-esteem. As a therapist, I want to build a positive and supportive therapeutic relationship with my clients. I want to be clear on their goals and address any problems they may be facing. Most importantly, I want my clients to feel safe, seen, heard, understood, empowered, and valued.

I work with adult men and adult women on any sort of issue they bring to therapy, and about one third of my caseload at any given time is couples.
I have come to see that my role is to help people look at things differently. We can focus on changing behaviors, thoughts, or feelings, but those changes tend to last only a few weeks. If we focus on a shift in perspective then once that shift is achieved, everything else – feelings, thoughts, behaviors - falls into place.

Are you longing for something deeper than just coping? Do you want to feel safe in your body and in your relationships? My patients often carry the weight of anxiety, trauma, identity questions, or parenting struggles. Many have felt unseen or disconnected for a long time. At Silver Birch, you are met with warmth, connection, and curiosity. Together, we will untangle your hurts, make sense of your story, and help you feel grounded within yourself. You deserve healing and do not have to go through this process alone.

I believe progression towards healing is always possible. The ability to heal is not the problem. It is getting the right help and doing “the work” that creates healing. I love helping people understand their issues and how to heal or deal with them.

As a client, I know that therapy can sometimes feel like a chore. Sure, it’s a designated place to process painful life experiences, learn better ways to manage whatever life throws at you, but still may be more tempting to sweep it all under the rug instead. "If I don’t talk or think about it, did it even happen"? I've certainly been there, sometimes I still am. I think that mindset comes from a place of not wanting to be witnessed when you are not feeling your best. As a therapist, I enjoy the work the most when clients finally reach a moment they realize they don't have to put up a front anymore, because all emotions are welcome.

My therapeutic practice is very distinct in its approach, combining deep intentionality with a commitment to human empowerment through education. I believe that knowledge is power, and it’s my mission to help clients understand the “why” behind their behaviors to unlock their potential for rapid transformation.
I use evidence-based, person-centered cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients rewire their thoughts and behaviors. By exploring the science behind their patterns, clients gain the tools to take control of their minds and make lasting change.
