Your mental health is a vital key to living your life to your fullest potential. My approach to counseling incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma Healing, Inner Child Work & others. I believe many of the problems we face in live are related to unhealthy thinking processes which affect the way we feel & interact with others. I also believe that it is through our struggles that we can learn, grow & find meaning & value in life. We will work together to find ways in which your thoughts/beliefs about yourself & others may be causing emotional distress in your life or your relationships.

Every person has a unique story and can begin to heal when they have the opportunity to share their story. I aim to provide individualized care by considering every client’s unique strengths, identity, culture, and life experience. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, gender identity, intimate partner/nontraditional relationships, interpersonal difficulties, trauma, and phase of life transitions. By forming a strong therapeutic relationship built on respect and trust, clients can safely explore how their beliefs, feelings, and values affect their mental health and overall wellness.

I offer a holistic, integrative approach to psychotherapy and tailor it to the emotional, physical, and creative needs of each client.

I am an active and empathetic listener and understand that developing a strong therapeutic relationship depends on establishing safety and trust. I try to respond to each person in a curious, collaborative, and direct way. Together we try to find a common language, in words and through the body, that opens the path for each person to express what they need to express.

As a mostly Adlerian therapist, I will help clients to explore their behavior patterns which may be interfering with attaining their goals. In order to do this, together we will examine each individual's readiness for change, how fear/anxiety plays a role in keeping them from changing behaviors and explore interpersonal/family relationships. To facilitate the most insight and emotional growth as possible for clients, my goal is to create a comfortable, non-judgemental and confidential environment. Through this environment and exploration clients will be better able to set and attain healthy goals and lifestyles.

If you are currently going through struggles in life or hitting some obstacles, know that it's normal and it happens to all of us at various times. Anxiety and depressive symptoms often arise as a result. The question is, how are you coping? Sometimes without being aware of it, we develop destructive coping mechanisms by masking or shoving things down. With over 20 years of experience I help guide clients towards healthier tools to live a more functional and fulfilling life, and improve relationships along the way. Above all else the key component centers around self care, learning to take care of you.

I believe we can all greatly benefit from being encouraged to express ourselves, understand our emotions and behaviors, and develop ways to cope and thrive in our environment. Together we will explore who you are, not just through your past experiences but mostly through your present emotions/behaviors and future goals. I approach each session with genuineness, openness and empathy. In my practice, counseling includes conversation and humor; both laughter and tears are important while healing and growing. While I certainly respect that serious matters are discussed in therapy, we can usually find ways to enjoy our progress!

Do you ever wonder if there's more to life than just surviving the day to day? Each day feels like a struggle, and you wonder if it will ever get better. You're a strong person, but you're realizing that the trauma you experienced in your childhood is catching up to you. You're triggered by little things that didn't bother you before, and the coping skills you've been using aren't working anymore. You're often so busy caring for everyone else that you forget to take care of your basic needs. You're wondering what plan the universe has for you, but you know there has to be something better than this.

This is a beginning; change is difficult. It's strength, not weakness, to seek help and make changes. Learning how to see our behaviors from a different perspective is valuable. Healing often comes through verbalizing our feelings. You will feel heard, respected, validated, receive constructive feedback and gain greater insight and understanding in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I focus on your strengths as a means to help facilitate change and promote independence. I am a very down-to-earth person and I am often told by my clients that it's easy to talk and relate to me.

Dr. Klenck focuses on evidence-based treatment and evidence-based assessment practices, but finds the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Without a strong alliance with the client, she finds a therapist is limited in their ability to help the individual effect change.

Chances are you're struggling to understand some area of your life, feeling stuck, hoping for new possibilities and outcomes. Maybe now is the time to reevaluate what you really want out of life and to make some changes. Perhaps the situation that has you most frustrated is providing you with an opportunity to look deep within yourself at the person you most fully want to be. I believe therapy is a partnership in which my responsibility is to provide you a safe, nonjudgmental and supportive space where you can bring whatever issues you wish to explore.
