Hey, Creatives! In 10 years, how do you want your life to be different? Its time to get serious about taking back control over your time, your relationships, and your emotions. You don't deserve to be always overwhelmed, always behind, and always second best. You're NOT wrong or broken, but you may need to set some boundaries, to talk through some difficult events, to get organized, and/or to figure out what you want to happen next. You don't have to let worried or depressed feelings keep you from having a fulfilling and productive life. You can find a way to release the art inside you. Try therapy with me.

Losing connection with them more and more, fear has set in. How can you help them, when you have exhausted all other resources. You care so deeply, and need someone to come alongside.

Nature reveals to us a beautiful part of ourselves we could not find anywhere else.--Kristin Butler. This statement supports the unique counseling experience of Hawk's Nest Farm. The counseling cottage is nestled on 11.25 acres where my family and I farm cattle, chickens, and goats. My hope is to offer a unique experience to those who would benefit from the healing of nature. I look forward to meeting my clients where they are and helping them set realistic, attainable goals to improve the way they feel.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and improve the quality of your life. My approach to counseling is eclectic/integrative and based upon a person’s individual needs while being empathetic, non-judgmental, and easy to talk to.

I am committed to helping you realize your true potential that moves you forward. I bring 10 years experience working with teens and adults in residential (a live-in facility that provides long-term treatment and 24-hour supervision) and community settings. I have experience working with severe disorders such as Bi-Polar Disorder, Borderline, Schizophrenia, Depression, and PTSD. I primarily use CBT and DBT to challenge your thinking and teach you new skills to replace behaviors that no longer serve you.

Finding the right practitioner; when it comes to your emotional, mental, and spiritual health needs; can be challenging because you may not know what you should be considering during this search. Select a professional who is not only compassionate and passionate about their work and the people they serve, but also someone who knows the element of strength and perseverance personally. Stress can have a huge impact on the way we function in the various domains of our lives and this can sometimes send us down the rabbit hole of doubt. In order to truly accept yourself you must discover the elements of your becoming.

I am inspired working with clients who are committed to bettering their mental health and to personal growth, even if feeling stuck. What happens to an individual rarely happens within a vacuum, and a more complete context provides better understanding of how we grow, develop, suffer and change. During moments when hopefulness is dim, we need someone to hear us, to see us, and to believe in us. Each of us is capable of living lives of significance when we embody a true sense of hopefulness. Living a life of significance is a personal and humbling journey marked by having the courage to face our fears, listen clearly, and understand.

Many people are reluctant to seek help, therefore they will suffer in silence. Life can often be difficult, and overwhelming, and it seems that you will never get through that moment.

You may need someone to guide you through those difficult moments to find the healing and peace you desire. The therapeutic interventions I use will assist you in finding those things. Through a trustworthy client and counselor relationship, we can discover how to find healing to have a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
