I strive to provide a comfortable, confidential, and supportive environment where you can feel safe to heal, gain insight, and experience personal growth. Life and relationships with others can be challenging at times. The counseling relationship can serve as a helpful tool when navigating these challenges, providing you with a clearer understanding, appropriate coping skills, and plan moving forward.

I work from a person-centered approach to promote an empowering atmosphere for my clients. It is important to me to help clients become aware of their own unique set of strengths that give them the ability to create positive change in their lives and relationships. I am passionate about facilitating growth within clients' marriages, love relationships, parent-child relationships, and any other relationships they wish to strengthen. Rather than focusing strictly on the symptomatic nature of clients' concerns, I take a holistic approach and foster an overall healing of the self.

Everyone has a story that they tell themselves-sometimes it can be helpful and sometimes it's not. Life can be challenging and cause us to question ourselves. You are not alone. I want to help you to see your strength within and build on it to help you reach your goals and potential. I enjoy helping children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting issues as well as dealing with everyday life stressors and challenges. I want to help you to make the changes you want in your life in a safe place.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Therapy is a place to pause, reflect on what you are seeking in life and explore the barriers preventing you from taking that next step in your journey. Life changes or chronic situations can throw us off course, leaving us to feel out of sync, confused, & disconnected from life. Whether you are looking to reconnect, find purpose, learn new coping skills, process trauma or loss, manage anxiety, deal with shame, or make a life changing decision, therapy can be a safe place to discover the power you have within yourself to design your own solutions & find new ways to navigate challenging situations.

Thank you for taking this step toward healing and growth. I hope the information below gives you a sense of who I am as a person and a psychologist, and what I envision therapy to be. What is therapy? Therapy is about connecting. Connecting with your therapist opens pathways to better relating with intersecting aspects of yourself which include but are not limited to thoughts, feelings, body sensations, values, personal and social identities, etc. The therapy progress is forever evolving as you continue to learn more about yourself, the contexts that you are living in, and how to better manage struggles and challenges in life.

Wanting to make positive changes in your life? Ready to overcome limiting beliefs, strengthen self-acceptance, and live more fully in the present moment? I look forward to walking with you on your personal journey to living a more fulfilling life.

"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen" --Brene Brown. I realize that starting therapy can be a vulnerable and sometimes intimidating experience, which is why I work to create a safe space where you and I can work collaboratively to explore your concerns and help get you "unstuck". Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or sad? Do you need help in setting healthy boundaries or working through past traumas and experiences? I enjoy helping adults and adolescents process thoughts and life experiences to gain insight, make positive life changes, and improve mood.

Often we don’t know what's possible to achieve in therapy, we only know what we're used to. Frequently, we also don't believe things can be any different, and if we do, we don't know how to get there. I'll work with you to create a practical vision of how life can be for you, and a detailed plan for how to achieve it. We focus on coping skills and the ability to calm and regulate your emotions. From there, deeper change can occur, allowing you to release the effects of the past, change your beliefs about yourself and move into greater self-acceptance. Lastly, we focus on integrating your definition of thriving, not just surviving.

My goal in working with clients is to help them shift their relationships with success, failure, fear, and change in an effort to experience more a more meaningful life. As an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)- and EMDR-oriented professional, I strive to help my clients face their less pleasant private events in the service of committing to valued action. As we work together, my clients and I strive to identify what matters, clarify the things that stand in our way, choose to make a mindset shift, and commit to doing things that matter on a deep level.

My philosophy of healing is like working your way through a set of nesting dolls from the outer doll representing why you want to heal: trauma, attachment/relationship injury, depression, grief, and anxiety. The next doll holds the symptoms, thoughts, and feelings of the first doll. The next doll may may hold your negative beliefs you have perceived about yourself, others, and the world. The next doll may hold consequences and life impairments. The final doll represents your core and authentic self. The person you would be without all of the other dolls in relationship to the unity of mind, soul, heart, body and spirit.

Are you feeling uncomfortable in your own skin? Can't calm down? Can't move forward? It is important to focus not only on mental health, but to experience ourselves as a whole person. Our minds and bodies have stories to tell, and unique ways of healing. All parts of us play significant roles, including physical, emotional, cognitive elements. The connection between our mind and body is so powerful, and where a great deal of disruption can occur in our nervous systems. Our bodies know what to do to heal us, mentally and physically, when we are able to allow space for our nervous system to complete its process and regulate.
