Is life starting to feel unmanageable? As someone experiencing symptoms of anxiety, procrastination, overthinking, or distractability, you might be grappling with thoughts that no matter how hard you try, it is will never get better.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist that has been in practice for 41 years and in that time I have developed an eclectic approach to working with many issues. I consider myself flexible and accommodating as it pertains to the individual needs of my clients because I work within their system of values and beliefs. I offer Individual, couple, marital and family sessions. As a Registered Play Therapist, I provide a Prescriptive Approach to working with 3-12 year old clients. I have a working knowledge of many different mental health issues but I am more likely than not to refer someone with a Drug and Alcohol Addiction to a colleague.

Not Accepting New Clients. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor working with individuals, couples, and families in a private practice setting at Stillwater Mental Health. As a counselor, I am passionate about people and my work as a therapist.

My goal is to provide an environment for clients to feel safe. I have competence in working with children, adults, and families that have been affected by traumatic experiences. The hope is that all clients have the opportunity to heal, grow, and flourish in everyday life.

Hello to you from an affirming, eclectic, down to earth human who happens to be a therapist. Thank you for taking the first step to creating intentional space for yourself. Vulnerability, exploration, new skills, facing past hurts, and living authentically can seem challenging and not easy at times. Change can be tough, even scary, yet create endless possibilities for living the life you choose. Yes this is possible! My most focused areas are traumas, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships, toxic relationship healing. Also, teens surrounding childhood trauma, sexuality, and transition to adulthood. Teen life ain’t easy!

I specialize in family systems, attachment and trauma. I have training in EMDR, Circle of Security, and many other attachment based treatments. My perspective and values are humanistic. I truly believe people have the capacity to overcome hardship, pain and despair in an affirming, understanding environment. People of all backgrounds, cultures, faiths, races, and sexual orientations are welcome in my practice.

It's incredibly human to find ourselves anxious, detached, and overwhelmed. Disconnect in relationships can often feel miserable, and keeping healthy boundaries and navigating conflict can be a struggle. My expertise is in creating a therapeutic relationship that goes beyond traditional cognitive approaches, valuing an embodied sense of change, where patterns can shift, trauma can feel integrated, and we can achieve an overall sense of resilience and connectedness, to ourselves and each other.

Life comes with many challenges and changes that can be difficult to navigate, and sometimes it can feel as though you are lacking the support you need. My goal as a therapist is to first and foremost provide a safe environment so that clients can feel comfortable exploring and working through all of the difficulties that they face, in addition to having a space to celebrate their victories. I take a humanistic approach to counseling while also using other treatments which align with the needs of my clients.

Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, becoming who you are meant to be, and I am here to share this courageous "deep dive". Are you ready to make conscious those things you already feel so raw and vulnerably in your body, to seat your feelings so close as to live to the point of tears? Like picking up a new and unfamiliar musical instrument, the first necessary step is to begin, does not matter where, or how, poorly or well. Beginning is difficult, we are reluctant to take that first close-in, brave step to reclaiming the happiness of actually having started. Living to the fullest is my goal for all of us.

Our first relationships are the foundation on which we build all future relationships. If our foundation is shaking, unreliable, or scary we develop a sense of disconnectedness or that we are in some way lacking. This feeling of vulnerability leads us to act in ways we don’t understand. Some may find themselves being overly clingy/controlling for fear that they may be left alone. Some have self-doubt leading to Anxiety, Depression, or addiction. While others shut themselves off from the world to protect themselves. We all have needs and it’s okay to have them met but how we do that can be more destructive than helpful.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, and I have experience supporting young adults and adults with concerns such as addictions, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/ family issues, and anger management. My ideal client would like to resolve these issues by empowering themselves to learn how to counter negative thoughts, regulate emotions, tolerate moments of distress, communicate effectively, and mindfully stay within the present moment. My ideal client would like to learn these skills in order to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

I am currently taking new clients! I believe that therapy is a professional relationship and a personal relationship. Finding the right therapist is important for your growth! Therapy is hard and I am here to help support you on your journey - whatever that looks like. Some days it can be laughing, other days could be crying, yelling, or using the occasional cuss word to release our emotions. I work with attachment-based issues, complex trauma, chronic pain/illness, and women's issues.
