Do you feel an overwhelming connection between you and your companion animal; a bond not easily explained? Have you ever imagined bringing your pet to therapy along side you? Through my years of experience as an animal trainer, and incorporating animals into the therapeutic process, I have witnessed first hand the amazing benefits that an animal interaction can have. Animals promote a sense of calmness and peace, unconditional love, and a better understanding of ourselves. I have been fortunate to witness the awe inspiring moments between animals and humans, that have changed lives and provided true meaning and personal growth.

When people first come in to see me, they are often anxious, depressed or scared. They may feel confused or uncertain about the future. Coping skills that used to work "OK" no longer seem to be sufficient. Some people can point to a specific cause or event, but others find it difficult to identify or talk about underlying concerns - particularly if they have endured a trauma. Therapy offers a warm, safe and compassionate space for exploration of feelings that can be too difficult or too heavy to hold by one's self.

My passion is to help others achieve the goals they create for themselves. I accomplish this in therapy by using strength focused and motivational therapy techniques. Success is wrought from effective teamwork, trust, and unconditional positive regard, all hallmarks of the honest and open environment we create together.

I am passionate about empowering clients to connect with their authentic selves and their strengths in order to heal, grow, and make meaningful life changes. I utilize an integrative and collaborative approach with clients to help them identify their individual goals and provide insight, tools, and techniques to reach them. I believe working together with clients is important, and I aim to provide a calm, laid-back, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to talk and process openly.

I work with many clients who struggle with depression and anxiety. I also work with clients who may have had trauma in their lives and have difficulty with everyday tasks trying to focus or ruminating over past issues.

I draw upon a wide array of therapeutic modalities when working with my clients, as I believe in tailoring my approach to each individual person. My clinical experience includes working with adolescents and adults in the following treatment settings: residential living facilities, schools, community agencies, and private practice. I have helped clients address and overcome a broad range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, stress management, low self-esteem, body image concerns, major life transitions, and chronic health concerns.

Anxiety and OCD can be overwhelming and create barriers to how you live your life. Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure based treatment (ERP), we will work together help you to face those fears and reduce the behaviors that are getting in the way of your life. Treatment is structured, incremental, and results-oriented, which helps to facilitate practice and observe progress more quickly, so you can live your most fulfilling life.

Having a difficult time managing your anxiety or other emotions? Feeling sad and hopeless? Or are you encountering problematic patterns of substance use? Perhaps you are grieving. Sometimes those difficult times are easier to navigate when we have the help of others. I want to partner with you to help you journey through those difficult times. I work with clients on a variety of concerns. I strive to bring forth treatment which focuses care on the needs of the individual ensuring clients’ needs and values guide clinical decisions while providing care that is respectful and accepting of each client.

Starting therapy can be daunting. People often seek a therapist because they are experiencing distress of some kind. This distress can take many shapes: anxiety, grief, difficulty moving through a big life event, coping with a chronic medical or mental health condition, relationship issues, workplace stress and burnout, isolation. My approach to therapy involves creating a safe and supportive space to look at and learn from this distress. This may involve finding patterns that have kept you struggling, healing from past harms, and exploring and expanding your existing strengths.
