"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habit. Keep your habits positive because your habit becomes your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." - Mahatma Gandhi Our thoughts and feelings are not determined by a situation, but by our perception and interpretation of the situation. By changing our thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors we can learn to respond in a positive way, maximizing our potential for a rich, full, and meaningful life.

Currently accepting new clients and EMDR Trained. Lets face it life is challenging and living is not an easy task. Everyday we wake up we never know what is going to occur or what challenges we may face. If you are finding yourself struggling on the day to day, having poor motivation, feeling lonely, or that you are just going through the motions in life rather than truly living, then please reach out to me. Take back the control you once had in your life and together we will work to find the root of these concerns you are struggling with as well as find techniques and skills that promote growth and overall wellness.

"The secret of getting ahead is getting started" If you are looking for a guide in your therapeutic journey, I will work with you to establish a more fulfilling life. Assisting my clients to achieve their goals and rebuild their lives is something I take much pride in. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach, based on client need; however, tend to operate from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered and Reality Therapy perspective.

Do you need support in stress management, life transitions, trauma, depression/anxiety, developing effective coping strategies, etc? Do you want to feel more "free" emotionally, mentally, & physically, wanting to improve your life for yourself and possible future relationships/children/family? My ideal client is motivated to engage in treatment and reach their goals of becoming more psychologically flexible and strengthening their connections with themselves and those meaningful relationships around them.

I am experienced in depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relational conflict, family systems, addiction, criminal justice, anger management, eating disorders/body image, and mood disorders. The ideal client actively wants to explore their behaviors and thinking patterns and identify the underlying causes of these behaviors. In addition, the ideal client will be willing to tackle goals inside & outside therapy sessions. My ideal client would be an individual who is internally and externally motivated to change their life. They show up to sessions on time consistently and make a conscious effort to engage in the therapeutic process.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and your feelings, possibly due to trauma? Do you lack understanding of the cause & need education on how the brain responds to trauma? Do you have relational issues or anger management struggles that lead to addictive behaviors? Do you struggle with self-worth issues and feel tired, frustrated, and confused? In therapy, you will learn to identify trauma responses, build tolerance for difficult or uncomfortable feelings, & utilize various coping skills & grounding techniques. Gain confidence, take risks to address complex issues & learn how to create healthy boundaries for relationships.

I work hard to help each client connect more fully with what their heart, mind, and body are telling them right here and right now so that they can utilize this awareness to more choicefully navigate how they make contact with the world around them. I will support you at a pace that you set while offering friendly invitations to challenge yourself in ways that lead to meaningful growth. I stress creating a safe environment free from judgment, guilt, or shame, where you will not only be heard but you will also feel heard. If this sounds like what you are looking for, I warmly invite you to reach out to me via phone or email.

This is the moment, the moment that you choose to begin your journey to freedom. It is your opportunity to take control, to stop simply surviving and start the journey to your best life. It is my belief, and I am passionate in that belief, that you can change your life for the better. You can experience the joy and peace you’ve been hoping to find; you can live your life to the fullest.

I believe that one of the most important things we can do on this earth, is to let people know they are not alone. At one point or another we have all experienced moments of hardship and discord. Having someone there with us to navigate through the chaos and emotions of the experience can make a difference in how we cope with the events. Not only that but it can ultimately help us build resilience. Whether you are seeking therapy for depression, anxiety, life transitions, or perhaps you are seeking to regain some balance and clarity, together we can explore your needs and work towards resolution.

Congratulations on taking the first step in your healing journey. This is a courageous first step in the line of many. Life can be difficult, stressful, challenging and overwhelming. Everyone experiences these feelings at some point in their life, including therapists, and that's okay! I firmly believe that everyone is capable healing and peace, and I am humbled to be a part of that healing journey. My goal is to create a safe and compassionate space for you, using unconditional positive regard, empathy and connection, to explore your healing journey and deepen your self understanding.

Hello there! I’m very happy you decided to take the first step in your therapy journey. Believe it or not you already possess the skills and tools you need to lead a better life. I am just here to help you unlock them! Are you struggling from anxiety and/or depression? Having a hard time managing relationships? Can't get past things that have happened in your life? Want to work on problems with family members, partner or children? I know how to help!

Opening yourself up to someone takes a lot of courage. Just beginning this step, looking for a therapist, shows that courage, whether it's for yourself or a family member. I have worked extensively with children (4+) teenagers, and families over the past 10 years in different mediums. I begin by helping my client to feel safe and and encouraged. One of the most important aspects of beginning this relationship is to encourage clients to identify strengths, resilience, and areas for growth. We will work by applying these strengths to address your goals and develop and practice coping skills to increase your belief in yourself.

I excel at helping those with mood or anxiety disorders learn more effective behaviors. I find I work well with people who are open to learning a variety of skills to make change more of a reality in their life, whether this change is handling stress better, working to improve relationships, being more 'present' in life, or just being able to get out of bed and make it through the day. We're all human, and everyone deserves the support to build their life worth living. It is my joy to help others in that building process.

My ideal client would be aware that they need help. They are also prepared and open to doing the necessary work to address their issue. They understand that therapy is a process, not something they can complete overnight. They know that their previous methods have failed and are willing to try again with me.

As a deeply intuitive person and natural helper, I believe taking the time to build an authentic and trusting therapeutic relationship is essential to successful therapy. I have over 18 years of counseling experience working with preteens, teens, and adults with a variety of mental health diagnoses. I enjoy working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, life transitions, and underlying trauma. My strengths are relationship building and creating a safe, supportive, and relaxed environment for individuals to learn more about themselves, ask the deeper questions, and improve their lives.

Do you struggle with self-esteem issues and want to be more confident? Are you dealing with a major depressive disorder and have poor sleep & hygiene? Do you want a better life so you can keep your job and have a thriving life? I can help you identify where negative thoughts about yourself and your identity stem from. We will work on identifying negative thoughts and stress triggers. We will review what interventions have worked and have not worked for your mental health. I provide psychoeducation & may give some mini exercises, such as using positive affirmations, coming up with a nighttime routine, & relaxation techniques.

Are you a young adult dealing primarily with anxiety and life transition issues? This could be a recent college graduate starting their first big job, a major transition. I like walking beside them through these transitions and being an additional support. I also like helping people learn breathing techniques to manage anxiety and learn about polyvagal theory and a bottom-up approach. I enjoy working with clients who can articulate their goals, such as managing anxiety better and working on anxiety in different settings.

An ideal client for me is someone who has difficulty managing their emotions, engages in frequent negative thinking, and has trouble communicating their needs with family and friends. They want to decrease their anxious or depressive behaviors but have little knowledge of how to begin regulating their emotions.

I believe that every individual has the power within themselves to achieve any treatment goal they come to Harmony Bay to work towards. My ideal client would be willing to put in the hard work needed to heal, who is willing to learn how to see the power and strength within themselves, and who believes that change is possible. If you are here at Harmony Bay seeking support from our services, you are already there!
