She works with clients struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and PTSD.
Nature's Way Holistic Counseling offers EMDR and clinical mental health counseling with the addition of a health and wellness framework that connects the body, mind, and spirit. We believe in the term "holistic" counseling because our minds are not independent of all other aspects of life, but is part of the complex, interconnected factors of life, including the food we eat, the environment in which we live, and the content we consume. Although some counseling services address these topics on some level, there is a gap in the field of practitioners offering such a comprehensive evaluation.

Have you noticed yourself struggling with “the balance?” You can’t quite find that sweet spot & it has you feeling lost, confused, consumed, detached, depressed, anxious or overwhelmed? Do work demands, societal expectations, past trauma, dating challenges, family dynamics, kids, marriage, drinking water, exercising, engaging in self-care, etc each feel like something else to manage? Could you benefit from someone who is unrelated to your situation, to listen objectively & without judgement to help untangle the weave life has woven? There is likely a pattern to be uncovered.

Sometimes life feels, and is, harder than it looks from the outside. Old wounds show up in unexpected ways: through self-doubt, strained relationships, or just that sense of bracing yourself all the time. It’s exhausting, and even when things are “fine,” it can feel like you’re never fully at ease. Underneath it all is a desire for more steadiness, clarity, and a chance to actually enjoy life instead of just pushing through it. That's where therapy can make a difference. It can enable self trust and self worth that creates endless resilience.

A quote that accurately describes the way I approach therapy is "To be vulnerable is a strength most of us fear" by Rebecca Ross. I find the greatest joy in working with clients who initially might feel ashamed for who they are, or what they have been through in life. I work well with clients that struggle with expressing or understanding emotions, or are looking to better understand their own unique struggles. I thrive in work with clients that may have a "lot going on" and are unsure where to start, and feel that I excel in helping clients navigate some of life's messiest experiences through showing up authentically.

I work best with clients who are looking to make lasting change in their life. Often my clients are adults working through current or past trauma, emerging adults forming their identity, or adults experiencing a life transition. Together we identify what authenticity means for them and the barriers to expressing their true self (emotions, desires, needs) with others. We challenge assumptions of self and others and identify ways for the individual to understand and manage intense emotions and utilize these to effect change in their life.

Suicidal Ideation Therapists
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioral therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.
Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
