I understand the pain involved with couple's problems, with anger, with anxiety, and with depression. My true specialty is anxiety, I find it fascinating and is my favorite subject. I love what I do and deeply respect the guts it takes to reach out for help. Everyone deserves a space dedicated to their needs and someone who not only listens to you but really hears what you have to say. Sometimes life is just plain hard and it's helpful to talk about it. While my approach is gentle, I still like to lay the cards face-up on the table.

It can be challenging to want to make a change, invest in yourself, try to view your life without judgment, and having no idea where to start. Truth be told, you don't need to know where to start, just that you want something to be different. Your willingness to examine yourself is what you bring to sessions and my experience and skill is where I meet you in those sessions. My role is to challenge you when you’re stuck and keep you accountable, providing education and practical skills to use in daily life, and support you through the discomfort of change and vulnerability - and to celebrate the successes that follow.

I use Somatic and Narrative processing, Gestalt techniques, Jungian Psychoanalytic therapy/concepts and MCBT.
As a counselor, I provide an inviting therapeutic space allowing clients to be safe and brave. I am clinically trained to care for clients who present with a variety of mental health symptoms or personal issues/concerns. Together we can explore suitable interventions and aim at client goals that allow for healthy processing and movement towards healing. We can explore where you might be stuck, and where you might like to grow or make shifts. We can grow hope for right now and the future. The journey of healing does not mean we learn to ignore what hurts, or pretend we are not stuck, it includes naming where we actually are.

My ideal client is someone who is curious about themselves; wanting to understand the
deeper reason behind their emotions, reactions and patterns. Maybe you’ve started to
notice things you can’t quite explain: feelings that show up bigger than expected,
behaviors that don’t make sense, or a brain that doesn’t always seem to cooperate. That
curiosity, even if paired with uncertainty towards therapy, is a powerful first step. Your
willingness to explore what is happening beneath the surface becomes the foundation
for meaningful growth.

Do you feel that you are stuck and not moving forward? Wouldn't it be nice to get unstuck and move forward. Anger, hurt, resentment, low self esteem, past life experiences can keep us stuck. I find that not having a voice, not feeling heard causes us to feel small. These things can cause us to feel sad, angry, anxious, depressed and disconnected. My approach and hope for those I assist is to help you stand up a little taller and be able to get through to a place of feeling that you are important.

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
