Life has a tendency to be very unpredictable, even when we feel like we have it all figured out. Sometimes it's helpful to have someone to walk with you through its challenges... or to have someone willing to get in the trenches with you as you navigate grief, loss, stress, past trauma, and hard life transitions.

Through the therapy journey, I will support you. I will work with you to problem solve, seek healthy solutions, identify coping strategies, and find balance. Life is full of transitions and unexpected changes- I have experienced many myself. How wonderful it is to know that you do not have to go it alone. I believe in the counseling process! If you are willing to do the work and are comfortable with your provider, then therapy can be very effective. I would be honored to share your journey with you. Seeking help is a sign of strength and courage. I will strive to connect with you in a safe, non-judgemental environment.

I am deeply committed to empowering individuals to reconnect with their inner strength and wisdom. My approach is grounded in the principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS), which honors the inherent multiplicity within each person and recognizes that every part of us exists to protect and support our well-being—even when it may not feel that way.

Our founder, Kylie specializes in maternal mental health; working with women who have experienced miscarriages, traumatic births, have difficulty bonding with their child, or experience postpartum depression.
Trauma creates change you do not choose, healing is about creating change you do choose - Rosenthal. Frontline Therapy was born out of a desire to provide accessible, evidence-based treatments, to Auburn's local veterans and emergency responders; with the combined goal of serving anyone who has experienced a trauma. Ever since we opened our doors in the beginning of 2020, we have been committed to excellence because we believe that individuals who have experienced trauma, and those that work on the frontlines deserve 'front of the line' treatment. We also treat depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, and relational distress.

My primary areas of focus are (pre) marital therapy, family counseling, anxiety, depression, grief, spirituality, parenting, women's issues and eating disorders.
My vision for counseling is to see people and families walk through life’s struggles with the help of others and hope for the future. We are all shaped by the relationships we form and our unique life experiences. The way we respond to those encounters tells us something about who we are. If you desire to restore connection with others, bring meaning to your experiences or explore your unique identity, I would like to help you take the next steps.

Do you feel like stress, trauma, grief, or other life struggles are beginning to affect various areas in your life? Feeling like you can no longer compartmentalize? Maybe feelings of depression, anxiety, and/or shame are keeping your from being your best self. You dont have to suffer alone.

We are all unique and so are the struggles we face daily. Being unique is great, yet there comes a time when we are faced with challenges, feeling stuck, frustrated, angry or simply misunderstood. It is during these times that it is beneficial to seek someone outside of that current situation for fresh insight, an objective perspective and a listening, non-judgmental ear. Sometimes an outsider looking in may be exactly what you need in order to identify and develop the best solution to meet your unique and individual needs. Life is full of ups and downs- in therapy we learn how to maneuver through the waves of life.
