Three overarching beliefs shape my approach to the counseling process. They are, 1. People are unique, 2. Relationships are complicated, and 3. Life is hard. This leads me to an approach that focuses on meeting you where you are with dignity, respect, and curiosity. I want to listen to you, sit quietly with you, and get to know you. I want to hear your story and explore together not only what is difficult in your life, but also what is beautiful and strong…as difficult as it may be to recognize or believe.

Find a good pic yet? Looking for a therapist can be stressful enough because most people are unsure how to find the right therapist. The greatest predictor of success in therapy is the strength of the relationship with your counselor. In other words, it’s best to choose someone that you click with because it’s going to be easier for you to trust the process. I’m definitely a straight shooter, and I tell it like it is, but I always have your best interests in mind. I combine evidence-based treatments with talk therapy, and somehow, humor tends to creep in from time to time too.

Reaching out for help during difficult times in your life can feel vulnerable. The truth is healthy people ask for help when they need it. I know, not ideal, but it is what it is. Building a strong connection with your therapist is one of the largest predictors for therapy success. I want my clients to know that I take their care seriously. I am a little fiery and I like to tell it like it is. I have my client's best interest in mind while guiding them toward their goals. It won't be easy, but that is what I am here for! I am proud of the work I do and I feel honored when clients trust me to be part of their journey.

I am fascinated by the human mind as well as how our life experiences impact the people we become. At the same time, I strongly believe that we have the power to be more than the difficult things that have happened to us. Seeking therapy can be intimidating but also incredibly rewarding. I consider it an honor to work with people on their journey to healing and self-improvement. My goal is to provide a supportive environment that is free of judgement.

After the last few years, most of us need a safe space to feel heard and understood. My therapeutic style is gentle and deeply client-centered, creating an experience of rest for clients who find themselves feeling lost in the chaos of our world. I will use an eclectic blend of talk therapy, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, DBT and Internal Family Systems to assist you with discovering and achieving your goals for treatment. Because I have my own trauma history, I can connect well with those who find themselves still affected by past events that they wish would stop intruding on their present. I work with individual adults.

How's the scroll going? You might be feeling as though it’s getting more and more difficult to manage your symptoms of OCD. Maybe you’re not even sure if you have OCD! Or, symptoms of anxiety and/or depression seem to keep lingering, and you feel like it’s draining your energy, motivation, and overall happiness. It could also be that the transition to “adulting” has been particularly difficult for you, and you’re beginning to feel more isolated, which makes it easier to just call it a day and play video games.

At best, your uninvited thoughts are uncomfortable. At worst, they totally disturb you and make you question yourself. You worry constantly and your brain is always getting you to follow its rule book, never relaxing, always avoiding. You would never call yourself perfect, but yet you strive for perfection in every move you make. To prevent your biggest fears, you do things that logically you know don’t even make sense, but you can’t stop because the risk feels too big. Everyday, you wish anxiety had less of a hold on you and you could just enjoy the moment.

Therapy is about gathering and understanding the pieces of your story. The themes of our story, the characters we've encountered, the obstacles we've faced, and the meaning we've made from our experiences, these are all complex things. It's my job (and joy!) to sort through these pieces and provide a new lens in order to challenge you, push you, and help you grow into the most healthy, authentic version of you. I love helping people understand themselves better and find courage to connect more with those around them.

Life involves stress; it's inevitable. Everyone struggles and needs support, yet many people have not found help. It's hard to figure everything out on our own. You deserve to be listened to objectively, kindly, and without interruption. Sometimes family and friends don't provide help the way we need (or they may make things worse). Psychotherapists can help provide unbiased support and interventions that research shows are pretty darn effective. Though it may not feel like it, lowering stress levels and resolving challenges is not as hard as it may seem. A little guidance could make a big difference!

Life can be difficult and frustrating. Our lives can become messy and complicated. But there is hope. I am dedicated to walking alongside of others to help them find hope and make some sense of their life and experiences. I sincerely believe that counseling gives an individual the opportunity to experience significant growth and healing through a greater personal awareness and understanding of themselves and the world around them.

Emotional and psychological well being rests on numerous factors. These factors are both historical and concurrent. Additionally, each person carries various coping skills and resources that need to be utilized, enhanced and incorporated to establish an effective protocal when contending with life's innate struggles and challenges.
Healthy relationships, personal and professional, are the antidote to many of life's difficulties. Removing barriers that limit our relationships is key to establishing a balanced and enjoyable lifestyle.

Hello and welcome to my unique practice, A Place Within. Although trained in traditional talk therapy, I also focus on creative therapies that integrate the mind, body, and spirit. These include sandplay therapy for adults and children, play therapy for children, dream work, art, and hypnotherapy. Rather than staying in the analytical areas of the brain, as talk therapy traditionally functions, these creative approaches integrate the whole brain into treatment.
