Limited spaces available. Sometimes when life hands you lemons, it can be hard to transform it into lemonade. It's a process and maybe you don't have the utensils or a recipe to reference. When you are ready to make lemonade out of life, that's where I step in to help. My goal is to be present for you when you are contemplating making a change. Whether it is incorporating more self-care, balancing a busy lifestyle, making a career change, addressing mental health concerns, or processing past trauma, counseling can be a utensil in your kitchen to improve your life. I've been working with clients to address a variety of concerns.
I believe in a holistic approach, especially when dealing with trauma. Trauma affects the mind, body, and spirit. I tend to use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy-informed counseling and mindfulness to enhance awareness. In addition to my mental health credential, I am also a licensed clinical addictions specialist.
Think of yourself as a garden with trees and flowers. It requires nourishment to evolve and grow. The more time and energy you invest in your garden, the more it will heal. Allow me the privilege to help you to cultivate greater awareness of your mind-body connection in your journey and let me welcome you to The Garden of Healing.

I work with clients who may be struggling with major life changes that bring up older issues. During our initial session we will work to prioritize the issues you would like to address and collaborate to create a treatment plan to address these issues in a way that will help you heal and make movement in your life. Most clients report a reduction in symptoms after a handful of sessions.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. I use CBT-informed interventions during sessions to analyze how your thoughts and feelings have influenced behaviors in your life. I will also use Motivational Interviewing to help you determine what areas of your life where you would consider making changes.
