**I am currently not taking new clients.** My services are remote only. With passion and care I help clients navigate emotional obstacles. I treat individuals struggling with personal issues which stop them from reaching their full potential. Understanding emotional boundaries, not owning others issues and accepting the fact that the more true we are to our own truth the happier we are regardless of our circumstances are foundational in my practice. I truly believe in each person's ability to grow and reach for joy and fulfillment.

Please note that my practice is only web based and I am licensed to see clients in NM, NC & SC. Welcome, as I invite you to explore the relationship(s) with yourself and those you engage with. My aim is to help you transform to live the life you deserve & seek to have. I engage clients in the personal exploration of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors internally & externally. Are there issues or patterns from your past that you notice affect your present life & you wish to change or make healthier? Do you have a negative inner critic that is too dominant in your life? If so, I invite you to relieve yourself of these patterns.

Let’s talk about what is going on with you, your family, or your organization. Perhaps your daughter or son is having difficulties. Are you noticing changes in behavior or attitude? Maybe you and your spouse/partner are struggling with trust, communication, or intimacy. You may be feeling more anxious or depressed than usual. Are you starting to get concerned about substance use? Is there anything else that is upsetting to you or your loved ones? Are the issues and new opportunities to consider in your workplace or business? Concerns like these and others can impact your sense of wellbeing, physical/mental health, and effectiveness.

My ideal client recognizes the glimmer of hope that exists in their life and how they can achieve it.

I walk side by side with my clients to identify what needs to change and support them every step of the way.

As a Clinical Counselor, I believe individuals are always capable of change. I work hard to provide an environment that allows clients to explore their beliefs and circumstances. I work collaboratively with each client towards positive change and self-improvement. Goals take time to achieve due to the complex nature of human behavior, so I ask you to have patience with the therapeutic process. My work is rooted in evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches and mind-body practices including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness CBT.

Good therapy is like a road trip: You need a destination, a vehicle, and a map. Our therapy DESTINATION is whatever you want to work on. You're in charge! Our VEHICLE is our professional relationship. Research shows that your comfort is the most important part of therapy! While I can't promise you we'll have an instant "click", I can promise to use your weekly feedback to continually improve our sessions. That way, each week get's better. What about the MAP? Every week, we'll track how your last week went. If life is getting better, we're on track! If it's not improving, we change directions. And no more asking "is this working?"!

I am honored to have the experience of holding people's most painful moments, helping them in processing and moving forward with courage and hope.

I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and communication training that will give you specific strategies to help you take what you learn in session and apply these tools in your day-to-day life. Please note: I only offer online therapy.

With nearly 10 years of experience, I have learned severe emotional trauma occurs if trauma is long-standing, repeated, or targets an individual’s self-worth. Self-compassion is the ability to forgo self-blame in order to forgive oneself for imperfections, as well as natural and honest reactions to traumatic events. Self-compassion has been shown to decrease mental health symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression, shame) related to trauma, and increase positive psychological traits (happiness, joy). I utilize this approach alongside existential questions related to substance use, career choice, family issues, self-worth, and trauma.
