Human beings are storytellers. We weave stories from our understanding of our own lives and the lives of those around us. As our minds compose the story it is possible for us to lose track of the plot. Occasionally we find ourselves believing that we are a supporting character in our own lives. You are meant to be the protagonist of your own story. I believe that you are meant to live a life of unique purpose, and that you are worthy of dignity and respect. Counseling can be the place where we recalibrate our thinking, and strengthen the parts of ourselves we keep hidden and safe. Sometimes we need help, and that is only human.

In session we will use any number of techniques from Gestalt, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Family Systems Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I use these techniques to great effect with individuals, couples, and families. Each client is unique and no two healing journeys will be the same. Free consultations are available.

Reaching out to a counselor is a challenging first step. There is a part of us that wants to grow and thrive, and yet other parts that fear being shamed or punished. Therapy is an inherently safe place where you ought to feel safe and free. If you are ready to let go of the fear and begin to love your story again, call or text to make an appointment.

I look at a broad overview of a client's life to see where their presenting issue is impacting their life. Dealing with symptoms can be helpful, but lasting change comes from dealing the reasons those issues are there in the first place. This is why trauma work is not just for those with major life events. Trauma work also helps with the negative ideas, built up over, time that are hurting us.

We will triage any presenting concerns and create a treatment plan to address both the quick initial gains and the deeper core work. As a trauma therapist I use a lot of EMDR and Internal Family Systems, often blending the two. I will help you find root causes of behaviors and help you heal the old woulds that are causing present-day difficulties.
