With 10 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), I utilize evidence-based therapies to help clients change maladaptive behaviors, heal from trauma, develop personal strengths, and overcome barriers. I help clients learn cognitive restructuring and behavior modification techniques to release their personal power, making change operational in their everyday lives. I address physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual issues through a wellness paradigm versus a symptom treatment approach.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you are used to carrying stress, staying composed for others, or pushing through even when your mind and body feel worn down. For veterans, first responders, and others in high-stress roles, it can be difficult to slow down, make sense of what you have experienced, or reconnect with yourself outside of survival mode. You may notice overthinking, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, difficulty relaxing, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your emotions. Therapy is a place to slow down, gain insight, and reconnect with yourself in a space where you can feel seen and understood.

I draw from humanistic/client-centered, mindfulness-based, ACT-informed, and trauma-focused approaches, depending on your unique needs, goals, and wishes.
Are you seeking growth, healing, or better self-understanding? Struggling with anxiety or trauma? Feeling down or stuck? Finding it difficult to navigate relationships? If so, I'd love to help!
I believe we all have a deep inner wisdom and know what we need to heal and thrive. I help people tap into that through self-exploration, guiding them to face uncomfortable parts of themselves, notice their thoughts with distance instead of getting caught up in them, and feel emotions instead of avoiding them. With greater self-awareness, clients are better able to experience difficult thoughts and feelings and create the lives they want.

If you have felt daunted by the idea of traditional therapy or found yourself wanting to explore the benefits of nature on your physical and mental health, you have found the right place. I have discovered the most meaningful wellness happens when we allow our body and mind to slow down, which can feel difficult in a fast-paced, over accessible, and under rested society.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
