You want to feel confident, strong, and in control of your life. You want to get to the root of what's keeping you stuck and feeling small. You want to feel like you can be yourself in your relationships, and not keep falling into shame spirals that drain you. You've tried so many things to help you become more assertive and stop taking on other people's problems. Books, deep breathing, and all the coping skills in the world only help temporarily, or not at all. You feel overwhelmed, fearful, disconnected, and misunderstood and you can't figure out why.

Life is full of ups and downs that can be overwhelming at times. While learning to manage and adapt is important to personal growth, so is having someone walk that journey with you. I base my therapeutic approach around building a solid foundation of trust and acceptance with my clients. I value individuality and will encourage first and foremost that you accept “you as you” and not what today’s societal norms tell you what you should or shouldn’t be. I look forward to working with you and/or your family and being a resource to help you continue your journey.

Immediate Openings Available. Healing has its greatest chance of success when paired with a strong, compassionate, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. If you prefer the spaciousness of a session to allow for deeper internal exploration and understanding, then you may be my ideal client. Support is a vital aspect towards change and your therapist should be an important part of that. My approach is guided by compassion and confidence in the internal wisdom, that when fostered, facilitates the healing process. Are you ready for THIS kind of journey?

Deciding to get counseling is a brave step. It takes courage to risk being vulnerable with a stranger, but seeking an ally to help when you feel stuck or overwhelmed is a sign of mental health. As a counselor, I seek to form a partnership of equals with clients. I have been on both sides of the counseling relationship, and I know how powerful it can be to connect in a validating and supportive environment. I love counseling in part because I often learn as much from my clients as I have from being a client myself.

Now able to accept new clients again. Thanks for your patience! I will provide a safe place and work with you, beside you, as you work on defining/becoming your best self. Stuck? Change is difficult, but possible. There is no judgment here--lest I be judged. I believe everyone is doing the best they can with the tools they have. Many of us are just in need of additional tools. I believe we are products of our families of origin and carry forward what we learned from them--healthy or unhealthy. If you're stuck, I'd like to help you get unstuck. A sense of humor is a must.

It can be really tough to reach out and make that first step in seeking a better quality of life. Everyone needs someone in their corner, whether it be to listen or provide an unbiased perspective to work towards positive life changes. Maybe it's needing someone that doesn't judge you, knowing that, here, you are accepted for exactly who you are. Here, you get to let that out and work on being you in all areas of your life.

You long for more out of life. Most days you wake up and think, “How did I get here? I’m not where I want to be.” You exhaust yourself with the monotonous tasks of everyday work. You have trouble focusing on new information. You never have the energy left to do anything you truly enjoy. It’s not just work that has you exhausted either. You’re plagued by intrusive memories. Life seems to no longer be within your control. You tend to lose sight of good things and people in front of you. However, there is hope for healing and transformation. You can still build a fulfilling life. A life where each day brings happiness and excitement.

While talk therapy offers critical and necessary support during overwhelming periods of life, some of us feel as if life contains an "overwhelming period" on a nearly daily basis. Neurodivergent Therapies' owner (Alyson "Rae" Pittman, LPC) began wondering how the efficacy of therapy could be improved and the needed timeline shortened. One treatment addition for both of these goals is Neurofeedback (NFB) Training, a non-invasive and non-medication option for teaching your brain the rhythms, patterns, and "dance steps" your brain has yet to effectively learn.
