If you're looking for therapy, we already have something in common. As someone who's had on/off therapy throughout my life, I understand what it's like to be in the client's seat. My own experiences with mental health, trauma, and therapy have fueled my drive to give others a down-to-earth, validating, and practical therapy experience. I know it feels weird to open up to a stranger, and initial sessions can feel a little weird for me, too, but it only gets easier from session one. Together, we can discuss your concerns, process emotions, review coping skills, dig deeper, and hopefully share some laughs along the way!
I offer a person-centered approach that provides unconditional positive regard in a judgment-free environment. My counseling style tends to be more of a flowing conversation with discussion of coping skills and new insights peppered in. I mostly draw upon CBT and ACT principles. Colorful language and dark humor are welcome in my office!
If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to call or email Stillwater Counseling. I am accepting new in-person and telehealth clients and have availability that includes evenings. I mostly work with adults, but I sometimes accept teens. I'd love to hear from you! (Note: my cats will sometimes make appearances during telehealth appointments)

"
I consider myself a primarily person-centered therapist. This means that I prioritize the therapist/client relationship and focus on building good rapport and a safe, positive, judgment-free environment. I do draw strongly from CBT and ACT as well so as to help combat unhelpful thoughts and promote radical acceptance of what is and what has been.
