“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.” – Thich Nhat Hahn. Therapy is a journey we are often reluctant to take. Once we begin that journey, our mind & body become exposed to new thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My goal as a therapist is to assist the client to focus on developing achievable goals, coping strategies, problem solving skills, and alleviating symptoms related to life’s social & emotional challenges. Together we will create a treatment plan which will meet your social & emotional needs.

*"Change can be scary, but you know what's scarier? Allowing fear to stop you from growing, evolving and progressing"* Mandy Hale. I am an experienced clinician that would like to help guide you on your journey for change and individual growth in a safe respected environment. I have been practicing as a clinician for 14 years with adolescents, families, couples, adults, and children. I have strengthened my skills in assisting individuals overcome anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns and family conflict. My training has been in crisis and trauma work as well as with families through the Functional Family Therapy model.

At times life can be unusually painful, scary and confusing. With the COVID-19 virus we are living through such a time. Generally speaking, we may feel anxious, sad, discouraged and alone, and not know what to do. When someone listens to us carefully, we learn how to listen to ourselves, to our own inner life. Talking things out with someone in this special way can help us become clearer about who we are, our strengths and also our self-defeating ways, so we can move forward with an improved sense of self and direction.

To seek therapy takes courage and curiosity. The process of therapy gives us the opportunity to explore the impact of the multiple systems with which we are connected- family, work, home, friends, community- in the context of an affirming relationship with the therapist. Through this process, we come to better understand how we have interacted with these systems over time.

Sometimes it is hard to imagine that things can be different. They can. Whether you are looking for individual therapy, couples counseling, or family therapy I would be humbled to be a partner in your exploration towards positive change. Remember, you already have all the answers. My role is to help you uncover your incredible inner strength and provide you with the tools you need- in a respectful and non judgmental environment- to take the leap necessary to make that positive change.

Do you ever feel like your voice is not being heard; and no one's ever really listening to you? I will help you communicate your fears, wants, & needs in order to open doors to a healthier relationship within yourself & between your loved ones. So many of us have stumbled through life experiencing hurt, shame, rejection, & loss; now we carry emotional boulders that can block us or make us feel stuck. It's almost like carrying a bunch of rocks up a steep hill.

During these challenging times we know it can be difficult to cope with unexpected and daily stressors so we are here to help! We have several therapists that offer clinical services to children, adolescents and adults both individually and/or family based.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* I applaud you in taking the first step! Life can take us down curvy roads that can be overwhelming and scary. Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, why do it alone? If you allow me to take the journey with you, we can work together to combat and address the issues at hand.

In walking life’s path we can encounter crossroads, or obstacles, which block our ability to see ahead. We might get flooded with anxiety, or bogged down by choice; pausing our journey. One positive way to resume progress is to gain insight into the challenge, and find a next step. Taking that step shifts perspective, enabling the discovery of yet more steps. Successful clients begin to view challenges as a way to build understanding, transforming difficulties into opportunities for growth.

The beginning of personal change is knowing that a different experience is available. This is the seed of hope. The therapeutic experience is a collaboration between two individuals who both bring rich experience and knowledge into a therapeutic relationship. The situation that we find ourselves in is not our destiny. By choosing to participate in therapy, you are moving in the direction of creating the life you want to live.

I have successfully worked with adults and children, couples and families, with both common and complex needs.
