Disconnected, stuck, unmotivated, or deeply pained teens improve with therapy. If your teen is glued to their phone, failing school, has experienced a traumatic event, suicide attempt, is self-harming, abusing drugs, or has parents going through a divorce - we've seen it all. The teen experience is tough! At Antelope Recovery, we understand that not all teens want to go to therapy, but they know that what they're currently doing isn't working, and they want to feel better. We also specialize in helping teens who have tried other types of help, such as 1:1 therapy or medication but have not experienced significant improvement.

I believe that there is great power in developing a deeper understanding of who you are, your strengths and weakness, and how your brain functions and adapts-and applying this information to develop ways to manage and communicate your emotions and needs to the important people in your life. I have been working with kids, teens, adults and families for the last 15 years, and find it very meaningful and rewarding. I specialize in anxiety, depression, attachment and neurodevelopmental disorders, using cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, solution-oriented and family systems based approaches.

I have spent the past 20 years helping adolescents (and their families) with the work of growing into healthy, happy adults. My background includes teaching high school, running a summer camp, school counseling, and directing September High School. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have brought these experiences into my clinical work.

Parenting a struggling teenager can be a nightmare. Not only are they changing, but your relationship with them and your role is changing as well and the stakes are higher. As they work to establish independence, develop self-identity, and take steps toward becoming adults, they can reject your help, especially when they need it the most! Often, struggling teens create destructive and negative intense experiences because it is the only way they know how to feel connected. Our tight-knit team of clinicians can help your teen, and you take on the teen years with more confidence and grace.

Simply put, I love being a part of one's journey toward his/hers greatest emotional health. I believe that all persons have unique tools to heal one's self. I see my role as a compassionate guide who, through effective inquiry, honesty, and our reflection upon the power of choice, can assist your transformation big or small. Whether you desire to improve your parenting skills, assist your struggling teen or clear your path to living more authentically, I would enjoy joining you along your journey toward your greatest health.

It takes courage to ask for help; you have already taken the first step. Life throws us situations we don't anticipate or have encountered before and we need help getting through. You are here because you or someone you care about is in pain. You have come to the right place. We have all had those times when we need someone besides family and friends to talk to. People come to me for a variety of reasons: anxiety and depression, relationship problems, family issues, emotional and social struggles, rebuilding self-esteem, teen difficulties, general life transitions, and personal growth.

Seeking therapy can be a daunting task, and I am here to provide a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, my primary goal is to your well-being and personal growth. Your trust is paramount to our work together, and I am committed to maintaining a confidential, respectful, and empathetic environment. Your experiences are valid, and together, we will explore them with care and attention. I will work collaboratively with you to address your unique needs, drawing upon evidence-based techniques and my experience to support you in your journey.

Is your child struggling to control their emotions or reactions? Has their behavior changed and you’re not sure why? Maybe their grades have dropped; all of the sudden you’re getting calls from the school; they may have withdrawn into themselves, or begin lashing out at others. While children and teens are incredibly resilient, even under the best of circumstances, they may need support from someone outside of the family in order to recover from a major change, or unlock their full potential & thrive. That is where therapy comes in, and I would love to be the one to help.

My clinical style includes meeting you where you are at in your unique life experiences (i.e.; stress, change, depression, etc.) then helping you make sense of your problems in a meaningful way while also learning tangible coping skills and discovering creative solutions. My work is infused with curiosity and I'm dedicated to the process of unfolding our full potential, through the life phases. I cater to what is ready to be consciously explored, healed and transformed. My foundation is in evidenced based practices and other eclectic modalities as appropriate (see below for more details).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist-Consultant (CEDS-C) with the unique ability to combine nutrition and mental health for clients suffering from disordered eating, poor body image, low self-esteem, anxiety/depression, and other mental health disorders. I advocate for my clients to help them become self-sufficient and independent in developing healthy behaviors. I am passionate about helping clients identify their feelings, needs, and wants while learning how to effectively process and express these needs.

Are you unhappy with your life or unfulfilled in your relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed by worry, sadness, anxiety or uncertainty? Sometimes we just get stuck and find that coping on our own isn't working. My passion is working with college students and young adults to provide supportive therapy around a variety of issues that feel too big to manage on your own anymore. I use evidenced- based interventions specializing in depression, anxiety, relationships and behavior patterns, as well as addiction issues. I am accepting new clients and will respond the same day.

I believe our emotional lives - our feelings & memories - provide vital links to our capacity for aliveness. However, we often struggle to makes sense of these experiences and to use them for meaningful change. Core emotions that frequently haunt us like fear, anger, sadness, loneliness can be openings to a greater sense of meaning when explored, elaborated, and understood in a therapeutic group setting.

Whether by video or in the outdoors it's an honor to accompany individuals, couples, and families on journeys of growth and discovery through therapy. I am guide in the process, you are the expert of yourself and your experience. If you're not feeling expert, my approach draws out individuals' inner wisdom, and confidence. Working with the mind-body connection, trauma resolution, mindfulness, and the natural world, we are able to co-create new possibilities for living a more enlivened and fulfilling life. Neuroscience and attachment theory highly inform my work and I am ever expanding my knowledge and skill in order to best serve.

I also offer individual and group-based personally meaningful, culturally relevant Rite of Passage experiences to support you in conscious and intentional movement through life challenges.

I work with people navigating major life changes, grappling with grief & loss, or longing to understand their unique emotions and sensations. My approach is grounded in creativity and curiosity. I can help you develop healthier communication skills that may strengthen your connection to yourself and others. Becoming aware of our internal experiences allows us to express our needs with greater clarity. I will listen to you and learn about your intentions so that we can get to the heart of the matter together. I view therapy as a collaborative process, and I enjoy working with people who are committed to their growth and development.

I provide psychotherapy to people of all ages (age 3 and up) and facilitate healing with a variety of approaches. I specialize in healing from trauma and utilize EMDR and Brainspotting, which I've found to be highly effective.

Navigating life is a complex and tumultuous process. Every day, we're tugged in myriad directions, confronted with decisions at every turn that ask us to balance relationships, work, self-care, and personal growth. This constant barrage of "shoulds", responsibilities, and pressures in life creates an unrelenting current of stress and anxiety and leaves us worn thin and wondering, "why is it so hard to feel good?" It's no wonder that we find ourselves grasping at food, alcohol, tv, sex, drugs, and social media to relieve this tension. However, the relief provided by such behaviors is temporary and only exacerbates the problem.
