Welcome to The Counseling Place at Lone Tree! We have been helping people of all ages live their best life since 2007. Are you feeling stuck in your life? You know that you are not living in your brilliance and deeply want to align with who you are. You want to eliminate feelings of anxiety and hopelessness and replacing them with joy and contentment. This may seem like an impossible mountain to climb, but with a skilled therapist it is actually achievable. We help you identify contributors to the struggle, grow self-awareness, heal old wounds, and move forward into a more positive you.

Is there a part of you that is sick of doing the same things that hurt you in the long run and another part that relies on the predictability of those same things that seem to work in the moment? I can help by offering therapy online so you can work on issues in the privacy of your own space and accommodate your schedule without a lot of drive time.

Our culture can place extreme and undue pressure on us to perform at extremely high levels, whether in our jobs, our relationships, or our families. Many times these expectations require us to ignore the limitations of being human, and as a result, we live with a persistent fear of not being enough. Relearning how to work with our limitations, rather than ignoring them, is the path to finding our happiness and fulfillment, yet requires us to address courageously much of what we have been taught and believed about ourselves.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and from all walks of life. I enjoy helping them find solutions to whatever challenges life is presenting them with. For some people, this may mean that they need only a few sessions, or what I call a"minor tune-up", before they are back on course with their lives. For others, this may mean more in-depth therapy to help find solutions to problems that have persisted over many years. And yet for others, they may not have any problems at all to solve per se.

I have extensive experience providing individual, couples, and family therapy to adolescents and adults. Areas of expertise include: Anxiety, Attachment Issues, Depression, EMDR, Grief and Loss, Marriage/Couples Counseling, Relationship Issues, Family of Origin Issues and Self Esteem. I am looking forward to utilizing my skills and experience to partner with you to provide meaningful, lasting change. Whether this is a time of transition or you're ready to work on deeper issues, I will help you accomplish your goals so you can get the most out of life.

I use somatic-based EMDR, Natural Processing, as a therapeutic technique to assist individuals in overcoming various challenges. Throughout our lives, we encounter situations that may cause harm or discomfort. While some of these experiences may seem inconsequential, others become apparent as problematic over time. When individuals begin to grapple with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, physical symptoms, stress reactions, or emotional intolerance, they may recognize the need for change.

Stress and anxiety manifest in various ways, from persistent worry and restlessness to physical symptoms like headaches and sleep disturbances. These conditions can significantly impact daily life, making tasks feel insurmountable. I specialize in helping individuals understand these symptoms, offering a supportive space to address their root causes. By acknowledging these experiences, we can work together towards managing their effects, aiming for a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Over the white cis-gender dominated everything? Same. Let's unlearn social norms and build more meaning together!

Life is busy, demanding, and exhausting. Waking up to an endless to-do list and running out of time feels all too real. Pushing through the day on autopilot is a common theme in your life. Living with high standards and aiming for perfection means things are never quite good enough. Pretending you have it all together takes a lot of work. Trying to please everyone in your life leaves no time to relax. The pressure often feels too much; you shut down. There can be a way, even when the answers are unclear; I will help you.

Are you a high performing athlete or professional? Are you struggling with the pressures that come along with being a high performer? As an athlete or other high-performing professional, you are not immune to the barriers of life that everyone else faces. You get stressed, feel enormous pressure--"Am I good enough?", feel anxious, overwhelmed & sad. Have you been afraid of asking for help because that might be seen as weakness? And, instead of asking for help, maybe you used alcohol or drugs to cope with the normal stressors of life but you are finding that substances have made things worse, not better. It's time for a change.

I love working with individuals who are eager to find a deeper connection to self and others. Many people who decide to start therapy feel ambivalent about the process, and may feel uncertain about change in general. That is okay. They may not be ready for change and may be coming to therapy in order to first find that motivation for change. They may be highly emotionally sensitive, but have never felt understood in their sensitivity. They want to feel heard, seen, understood because these are some of our innate human needs.

Working with individuals, children and families is my true passion. I have over 20 years of experience. I understand the complexities and insecurities that occur during childhood and adolescence. Coping with emotional issues, stress, peers, school and family dynamics are among the issues I treat. I address issues with understanding and compassion. I believe the key for therapy to be successful is the client/ therapist relationship. That is why I stress the importance of developing a trusting relationship with those I work with. Therapy is a collaborative effort, whether you are 5 or 65 you know your self best.

I know how it feels when life feels like it gets in the way of plans. That feeling when something so impactful in your life feels like it stops you in your tracks and you are unsure how to proceed. I know what it feels like to feel deep emotional and physical pain where it feels like breathing is the hardest task. I know what it feels like to feel alone in a room full of people, or to feel life so deeply that it feels impossible to know how to carry the weight of it all.

The influence of our surroundings makes a significant impact on what we believe and who we become. Sometimes, those around us share their opinions and expectations so freely that it silences our own needs and desires. Therapy is a place where your thoughts and feelings can be heard and understood- without the fear of judgment. I work with the intention of helping clients understand the past, so that they can live in the moment and find hope in the future. I will support you on the journey of self-discovery by providing insights as well as tangible tools to make the journey more enjoyable, even when it's tough.
