You’ve found yourself overwhelmed, lost, and are desperately searching for guidance toward relief. The challenges you’re facing are piling up and becoming more unmanageable. Difficult experiences have left you questioning whether its even possible you’ll ever recover. If this relates to your experience, I want you to know that you can free yourself from old and unhelpful patterns. You can find new ways of being that can create a life that is in alignment with your truest needs and desires. With time, it is possible to create the life you've been longing for and to overcome the challenges that have stood as barriers in the way.
My specialty is anxiety, depression, and trauma. I frequently work with people navigating life transitions, alternative life styles, and adventure outdoor sport needs. When in session we may use EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, DBT skills, CBT, and somatic experiencing. I am LGBTQIA+, kink, and poly affirmative.
The goal of counseling is to work towards being the best version of you possible. Together we will work to support you working on you. We will gain insight into the origin of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; explore new ways of being; and work towards integrating new ways of being into a life that serves you best.
