Are you feeling overwhelmed? Unsure of yourself? Fearful of life's uncertainties? Struggling to find hope? Sometimes we find it easier to bury our pain and hide it from others, which in the long run may cause more hurt or we may notice it interfering with our everyday lives and relationships. Taking the first step towards counseling can be scary and takes a lot of courage, but that is why I'm here to help! Therapy can be used as your time to process, gain insight, learn new skills, self-reflect, and build confidence. It is is a place where you can get support and encouragement without judgement.

*I only offer video sessions*Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and compassion. I work with people struggling with a variety of life issues such as anxiety, depression, grief/loss, difficult life transitions, LGBTQ, sexual assault/abuse, gender identity, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Complex Trauma. I use evidence-based therapies with a foundation in Mindfulness (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) that will give you tools to deal effectively with the struggles in your life. During our sessions, we will work together as a team and I will guide and support you through different techniques.

My approach as a therapist is to work in a collaborative manner to explore underlying thought and behavioral habits that cause stress. Through continuous efforts to apply oneself in this direction, many find unwanted habits begin to exert less of an influence on one's life and a steady growth of relieving qualities of mind can emerge: a sense of connectedness, resilience, flexibility, care, purpose, and wisdom. I work from a relational orientation. This entails examining styles of relating to oneself, others, the world, and at times even examining the therapy relationship itself.

When we struggle with depression, anxiety, pain from the past, or traumatic stress, our relationships struggle too. Often the pain experienced in relationships with our loved ones is what drives us to find relief and solutions from the disconnect and disruption we are in the midst of. We don't just want to feel better, we want to be better: Better to ourselves, better to those we love. Engaging in therapy and neurofeedback is about looking for the solutions that will enable us to move beyond the obstacles and into the connections we really desire.

There is a focus on identifying unconscious psychological and emotional blocks that may be preventing one from taking positive risks or making new choices. Identifying the connections between physical, psychological, and emotional health are vitally important.
