The best therapy begins with the relationship built between you and your therapist. Each potential client I meet is told a few things: 1.) Not every therapist is right for you. 2.) Ask questions to assist in gauging compatibility. 3.) If you don't vibe with the first therapist you meet, (including me) that is okay! 4.) You are always allowed to try again to find the person with whom you are able to build a strong lasting therapy alliance.

Did you know that both anxiety and depression are caused by unprocessed emotions? To keep from being overwhelmed by them, we naturally suppress emotions when we do not feel supported enough to face them. The problem is, this genius coping mechanism becomes a pattern that we do not know how to escape and we are left numb, suffering in a life that is bleak, absent of vitality, and so far from all we had imagined it would be. But you know there is more. You see it in the people around you and you want it for yourself. You want to feel the lows AND highs, to see the vibrant color in the world around you, to be your authentic self.

You're managing a lot, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like yourself.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to stop just coping and start making real progress.

You've done the work. Read the books. Tried the coping skills. Something still hasn't shifted. And you're probably exhausted.
I help you get to the root of the issue, with tools such as IFS, EMDR, and depth psychology. Not just cope. Heal.
We deal with the wounding that's plagued you in all its forms—PTSD, sexual trauma, religious trauma, narcissistic abuse, emotionally immature parents. The weight of being an empath, highly sensitive, or neurodivergent person in a world not built for you. The shame, anxiety, and depression that settled in around all of it. You can heal and live a vibrant life. It is possible.

I specialize in working with individuals who feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns or emotionally disconnected from others. Many struggle with self esteem, self doubt, anxiety, or feeling unseen in important relationships. My work is well suited for those seeking to better understand themselves, heal relational wounds, and develop more secure, meaningful connections in their personal and professional lives. I work with individuals and couples, with a focus on how early experiences and significant relationships shape emotional patterns, behavior, and the way people relate to others.

You might be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns that feel difficult to change. Anxiety, depression, stress, or painful experiences can make it hard to feel grounded or connected to yourself. When everything feels heavy, it’s easy to feel alone in what you’re carrying. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can process openly, better understand your experiences, and begin moving toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Experience wellness focused psychology enhanced by mindful movement and nature with Dr. Stodard at Harbor Wellness. After over ten years working in traditional mental health care settings, I opened Harbor Wellness in 2019 as a unique space to offer highly personalized services focused on optimizing mental and emotional health. I believe that to be most effective, psychological services must expand beyond an illness/treatment mindset. This model is ideal for clients who desire to go beyond simply coping with the stressors of life to truly living well.

Your mind is a racing machine that you can't seem to turn off! Scary and bothersome thoughts keep popping in your mind! You try to block them but they keep comping back. You can't be fully present or really enjoy yourself because they are so loud so often! Simple tasks now take forever because you battle the urge to check or repeat things over and over. You are embarrassed that people may think you're weird! But they just don't understand what it's like to think things you don't want to think and do things you know don't always make sense. You just want the thoughts and worries to stop so you can feel like yourself again.
