You deserve someone who will share those pains and walk with you in your journey to recovering wellness and living a life of health & purpose.

Throughout your therapy, we will collaborate as we tend to your inner life; both the light and shadow. I will listen to you closely with care and curiosity, and without judgment.

I find this approach fosters individuation and integration, allowing for wholeness and becoming the highest version of yourself.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

Relationships are at the core of what I believe matters in therapy and life. This serves as the foundation for my therapeutic style, and along with trauma, is the guiding tenet in what I have gone on to specialize in. I was initially trained as a generalist, which I believe has prepared me to work with a wide variety of presenting concerns. I find that every person who I work with comes with their own rich context full of complex experiences, identities, and a unique relationship with their mental health. It is my job to meet you right where you are with curiosity, respect, and humility. Go to Bridger-Counseling.com for more info!

Everyone deserves the best life has to offer. I strive to give my clients the information, insights and tools they need to make the most of their lives. My approach is very eclectic, but draws heavily upon my own life experiences, cognitive behavioral and existential theories.

As children, play is how we live our lives, interact with our environment, communicate our thoughts, feelings, and passions. Often times the stresses of life, relationships, job pressures, traumas, and losses make us forget how to play, how to explore, and seek growth.

Gently pushing you to be the best you, you can be. So that you can overcome obstacles that are in your way, conquer hills you are seeking to climb, and relationships you are hoping to create.

If you've struggled with people not getting what you're going through or been burned even by other therapists, I'm hoping I can help turn that around for you. Sometimes the people in our lives our even society at large don't understand what it means to dealing with what we've got going on and man can it be tough handling it on our own. Whether it's issues related to culture, grief, communication, or trauma, we can work towards managing it in a way that feels doable.

Are you searching for understanding? Are you wanting to better hold the complexities of your life? Often, truth and wisdom can seem out of reach. This can be due to a number of things that act as obstacles and obscurations to our full understanding of ourselves, others, and human relationships.

Your brilliance, intelligence, wisdom, and way to wellbeing remain within you. I can help you reconnect to this innate wisdom.

I am here to provide you with effective, practical therapeutic skills for greater resilience, confidence, and strength. I believe in your ability to heal, and live your best, most sacred life.

Life can be difficult. Dealing with the stressors of school, work, parenting, and traumatic events can make you feel like you are drowning. Add to that the many beliefs out there that tell us we are not good enough and it leads down a dark path. There is hope.

You do not need to turn to things that only temporarily make you feel "ok." You are enough and we can work together to overcome those obstacles. You deserve more. Change your mind. You deserve to thrive.
