Mind Revolution Therapy (MRT) is meant to be a space for people to heal through vulnerability and connection in the context of a revolution of the mind. Here’s the revolution - You’re not bad or wrong or unworthy, you’re human. At MRT, we believe that each individual is the expert on their own lives and therefor has the ability to heal themselves through finding and understanding their true selves.

As a therapist I see how powerful the mind-body connection can be, not only in how we live our lives, but also how we respond to challenges and interact with others. We are not always able to choose the obstacles in life but I do believe we can work towards responding to them in ways that help us feel empowered and confident. By listening to and understanding our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations we are more effectively able to navigate life and choose paths that better suit our values.

I provide respectful, collaborative psychotherapy for adults, older teens, families, and couples. Taking a holistic and mindful approach, I can help with an array of relational and emotional concerns including life transitions; identity issues; grief and loss; sexuality and intimacy; family conflict and parenting; pregnancy and postpartum; anxiety and depression; blocked creativity, and spiritual connection. I take a client-centered, intersectional, harm-reduction and trauma-informed stance which means I provide a space where differences are honored, power is named, and the complexities of your experiences and identities are held.

It's our reality that human beings struggle at times along the road of life. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and families get over and through these life obstacles. I have been honored and amazed to witness people conquer fears, addictions and harmful experiences that have left them tired and gasping on that road, and once again pick themselves up and journey onwards.

I have been practicing as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Psychologist for over 25 years. I understand that therapy can seem mysterious and intimidating. I also know that life is filled with challenges and that relationships are very demanding and difficult to navigate. Psychotherapy can be one way of addressing whatever unique distress you may be experiencing. Together we will work to clear away the limitations of thinking and experience that are holding you back from your own wholeness- your own sense of being fully alive and engaged in your life.

Therapy, like life, happens in the context of relationships. Our first task will be to form our own. During this time I’ll hear from you about what’s going well in your life as well as what is feeling difficult or overwhelming. Our work can take several forms, but in all of them I value connection, humor, and authenticity.

Feel purposeful, energized, and balanced in your life and career. If you have found yourself disconnected from your values, stressed, and overwhelmed, I will work with you to forge a path forward with reflection and intention. I enjoy working with people during times of stress and burnout, transition, grieving, and decision-making. I employ an eclectic approach with practical tools to meet individuals' personal and career counseling needs. Our sessions may be focused on self-assessment, goal-setting, processing difficulties, or concrete skill development. You may choose to complete a more comprehensive assessment process.

Do you spend too much time comparing yourself to others? Are you frustrated in trying to communicate with those you love? Does your career feel like a dead end? There is HOPE and a way forward. I see people change their lives on a daily basis. I will be with you on this journey, understanding you, helping you to identify patterns that are getting in your way and encouraging you on your path towards an internal revolution and becoming the best version of you.

Spring is here - it's time to take action. Aren't you tired of being miserable, depressed, sad, anxious, or just simply being unhappy with your life? Let this be your season to change and learn how to be happy and content and stop sabotaging your life. How about learning to do things differently so that you just don't keep creating the same dynamics. I am a down-to-earth, straight-forward psychologist. I am well versed in treating a wide variety of disorders and mental health issues and I am comfortable working with individuals from a variety of professions.

Can success and rest coexist? Can ambition and intuition live in the same space? Can I have big life goals and a deep soul? Even if we answer “yes,” the more pressing question is HOW? How do we find a deep connection within ourselves in this modern, fast-paced (okay, utterly chaotic) world? It makes sense we are all feeling lost and disconnected from ourselves. We’ve all been conditioned to rely on our thinking brains. Most of us have been praised for our intellect and shamed for our emotions. Feelings? Shove those down. Intuition? Ignore it. Get the degrees. Work hard. It will all pay off.

Feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, unable to cope with daily life and nothing seems to help? Does anxiety, excessive worrying or depressed mood affect you daily and your relationships? It may look like from the outside you have it all together but inside you feel empty and are barely making it through each day. If so, it may be time to talk to someone. Together we can work through challenges and cope with your emotions and find inner peace and feels as though you have a purpose in life. We can find your path, process the past or overcome what you are currently facing.

Have you had a recent "awakening" in your life? You’re not alone. You’re seeking to better understand yourself. Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to life is weighing on your heart. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc). Or you have a health situation that isn't resolving, despite trying every tool in your box. If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are mind, body, & spirit.

Life gets hard, messy, and overwhelming which can lead us to feel like we’re not good enough. We get stuck in the stories of our inner critic and everything just feels harder. We turn to disconnection, numbing out, or over-working to get by. Somewhere along the way, we might even lose connection with our self and the people who matter to us. It can be difficult to understand why we’re feeling this way and what our needs are.

On the journey to finding our authentic selves, we must learn to ground and connect before we can grown and flourish. This is exactly what Root & Rise Psychotherapy wishes to do. Let us help you on your own journey of running into yourself, making choices that honor your values, and moving forward in life with conscious awareness and confidence.
