Teletherapy for 55112

My clients have described me as thoughtful, empathetic, wise, and funny. I am not a bobble-head that will nod along to anything you say and just keep asking you, "and how does that make you feel?" I'm engaged, I'm funny, and I'm direct. I'm kinda like hard candy. I'm sweet and I can deliver challenging things when needed. With creativity and humor, I will guide you to explore other paths and options. I operate from a holistic lens, welcoming the all aspects of you and your family, including sexual orientation, gender expression, racial and cultural messages, religion and spirituality into the therapeutic exploration.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and confused by your own reactions to seemingly harmless situations? Are struggling to understand why you act the way you do in relationships? Perhaps you are a concerned parent who has noticed a change in the way your child interacts yet you find yourself unsure what help they need. This experience has left you feeling disoriented and defeated- how can it get better if you don't know where or how to start? You don't have to go through this alone. Together, we can create a place to not only to make sense of the confusion but also establish new, better ways of battling the obstacles you face.

Living in hell? I am here to help. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or BPD, I may be a great fit for you. I provide skills to alleviate symptoms like suicidality, self-harm, emotion dysregulation, relationship problems, sleep disturbances, and feeling out of control. If you are diagnosed with a medical condition, have cognitive impairment, or are a caregiver, I also may be a great fit. I find value in supporting clients and their families through life-changing medical events or diagnoses, end-of-life care, and disability. Let's work together to help you move through and out of hell.

I work primarily with adults that desire to live a life without symptoms of trauma, addiction, codependency, anxiety or depression. I believe healing is possible by reconnecting to your authentic self and rediscovering your beliefs & values. I have witnessed my clients achieve and maintain lasting change through the use of skills and changing unwanted behavior. Along the way, we make the healing process fun and easy. I gently challenge clients yet hold space for vulnerability and trial & error. I connect with clients by being authentic and encourage clients to be the same.

If you’re feeling powerless, stuck, or simply want to move towards your best self, I’m here to give you the tools to navigate with grace through life’s ups and downs. Whether you are seeking healing in a relationship, empowerment over stress and anxiety, or freedom from self defeating habits, I’m here to meet you wherever you are at and walk with you to where you want to be. Defeat is not the end of your story; the next chapter is just starting. There is hope for a more abundant life.

Are you facing a challenge threatening to steal your joy and peace? You may be constantly disappointed in yourself, feel guilty or overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, procrastinate, can't sleep or constantly feel fatigued. Maybe you’re a couple rehearsing the same argument over and over, a person who's often disappointed in their relationships or someone who went through a stressful, traumatic or tragic event making life too difficult. Maybe it's hard helping your child who's often tearful, worried or sad, frequently has melt-downs, trouble getting along with others or lying?

I have over 15 years experience working with individuals as they navigate life’s ups and downs. I am a seasoned therapist in helping clients emerge from feeling discontent and not quite sure knowing what to do to finding direction and feeling empowered. Maybe you feel like the familiar roles that once provided comfort are now holding you back from embracing your true self. Or maybe you’re going through a big transition and what is next feels scary and overwhelming. Divorce? Midlife? Menopause? Empty nest? These can be scary transitions that are full of potential and growth!

I specialize in working with women in their 20s-40s who are navigating major life transitions, processing grief and loss, or experiencing anxiety. I am experienced in working with clients navigating religious trauma, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+. I enjoy working with folks in the helping professions (teachers, nurses, physician's assistants, doctors, etc) and with people who identify as highly sensitive. I also have extensive training in peripartum and postpartum mental health and love supporting expecting and new parents of all genders!

I have helped many people succeed with life transitions that were struggling to make changes on their own. It’s difficult to know what to do when you’re hurting while also navigating a change in relationship or job or moving. It can feel very isolating. In therapy you’re able to take the time for you to get the answers you’re looking for and the relief from the pain. If you are a person who is suffering from separation or divorce, a person who is anxious about a change in career, or has experienced trauma(s) that impact you today I can help.

I am a therapist for those who are looking to find their own place within this cosmos of existence. With all the cultural programming within this world it is difficult to find our own core truths and how to navigate within them towards our own version of a fulfilling life. I work with individuals and relationships looking to find and understand their own truths about themselves, their existence and how to navigate in a world that so often is not built for our own wellness. From highly sensitive persons, to artists, and Queer folx, immigrants and multiracial persons, I am here to help you find what is getting in the way of thriving.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of life? Maybe you are a woman who is struggling with anxiety and stress. Or maybe you are a man who does not know how to communicate with those close to you. Or perhaps you are a teen who is struggling with boundaries with your peers or conflict with your family. Whatever you are challenged by or struggling with, having someone come alongside you to navigate through them will help you in finding understanding and working towards healing and change.

Through personal experience during my time in the military as well as occupational experience working within the chemical dependency field I have seen first hand the curveballs that life can throw at us sometimes. But the beauty is that you don’t have to walk through these experiences alone. Some of the biggest signs of true strength come from embracing our vulnerability and reaching out to ask for help. I embrace empathy, curiosity and humor when working with clients. I work with adolescents (15+) and adults. My areas of interest include working with individuals struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.” I am a therapist for the weirdos and misfits, those who feel they don’t quite belong. Weird is a good word around here! I work with folks of all genders to explore identity, stories, and what it all means. I’m a therapist for artists and artisans, creatives, and highly sensitive people. I work alongside you to uncover the things that hold us back, keep us stuck, and to tap into the good enoughness that is inherent to all of us.In our work together, you get to do some deep thinking and ask big questions.

Being a healthy, balanced individual means you are caring for all parts of yourself: mental health, physical health, relational health, emotional health, etc. All the parts of you matter. Who we are as a person is comprised of everything we have seen, felt, believed, & experienced, as well as what we have taken in from our family's experiences and those around us. It is all part of your individual story and your story matters. I enjoy working with individuals who are striving to gain insight into themselves, their communities, and learn ways to manage and decrease presenting symptoms.

What would you give to feel satisfied with life again? I can help. Together, we'll implement practices demonstrated by psychological science for over fifty years to be highly effective in restoring peace of mind and offering hope for the future. You will begin to understand how certain thoughts and behaviors interfere with well-being, how others create happiness, and how to consciously choose to live in a way that contributes to greater life satisfaction for yourself and others. I have seen countless lives transformed through learning these straightforward and easy-to-understand techniques. In fact, I practice them myself.

I am passionate about working with pre-teens, teens, and young adults to support their emotional well-being and healthy relationships. As someone with extensive experience working with children, and having children of my own, I am also passionate about supporting parents in the many ups and downs of parenting, and supporting mothers in the tender post-partum months and years. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions, parenting, and relationship concerns.

I work with individuals who are impacted by anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. My treatment approach focuses on improving confidence and personal resilience while reducing emotional distress. I also provide counseling for couples and families who are working through relational challenges and life-cycle transitions.I work from a holistic perspective, and my approach is goal driven and solution-focused. Together we identify your goals and ideal outcomes and work through challenges and unhelpful patterns to achieve success. I use accountability coaching to help you achieve your goals and step into the next chapter of life.

Vulnerability drives the therapeutic process which leads to personal growth and transformation, however, the path to vulnerability lies in the collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client. It is essential to understand that the journey toward healing starts with a deeper understanding of oneself, followed by acceptance of who you are before any positive change can be achieved. The central themes and patterns that we develop during the early stage of our lives play a vital role in the quality of relationships that we develop with ourselves and others as we transcend into our adulthood.

My clients would describe my approach as warm, genuine, and relational. I pursued doctoral training in Clinical Psychology within a medical school and therefore have developed unique expertise in the intersection of emotional, behavioral, and physical concerns. I truly believe in treating the whole person through making lasting healthy lifestyle changes. Think of me as your mental health coach helping you to process and make changes in your daily life to achieve your goals.
