Are overwhelm, overthinking, rigidity, & avoidance shaping your daily life? Is irritability, low self worth, fatigue, and procrastination keeping you in a cycle you want to break? Integrative mental health care can help you overcome these challenges and live a fuller, more authentic life. I work best with clients who want to unearth and correct the contributing factors keeping them stuck, from limiting thoughts and beliefs to self-sabotaging habits and behaviors.

Come as you are...And let's make space for all pieces and parts of YOU that create your world. During many transitions in life, especially with becoming a parent/caregiver in a variety of ways - together, we can hold space for your struggles and growth, broaden your understanding of the bias we are constantly surrounded by and are dealing with and increase awareness of your own presence within your environment.

“In a society that says, ‘Put yourself last,’ self-love and self-acceptance are revolutionary.”-Brene Brown. Perhaps you have been considering therapy for a while, maybe this is a return for new strategies, or life’s constant upheavals have necessitated you to consider our support. Individual counseling and coaching clients can expect our therapists to provide an open and non-judgmental space for honest dialogue, creative problem-solving strategies, and the use of individually tailored and structured treatment plans, of which you are an active collaborator, to meet your goals.

Welcome. I am glad that you are here. I work in partnership with my clients- building a safe, authentic space where they can be themselves. The decision to start therapy is a brave one. Your dedication to self exploration is a powerful force. You have all the tools you need to live your fullest life. It's about time we unearth them! I am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma, and Grief. When looking at CBT, shifting what we tell ourselves can create powerful changes in our perspectives and daily behaviors. When in grief counseling, we hold space for your loss and process in the way that speaks to you.

I believe that anyone can benefit from therapy. We all sometimes need help adjusting to changes in our lives and knowing how to best take care of ourselves. When we’re in the day-to-day it's easy to get lost in our habits and struggle with making changes or reflecting on if what we’re doing is really helping/healthy. I’m here to support you and give you a safe space to explore your choices. Therapy should be a space where you can talk and gain insight into what’s going on in your life and how you want to proceed.

Life be life-ing! Maybe you haven't been in your best season...or maybe you've experienced a loss and it's impacting you more than you imagined... maybe you feel uncertain about how to navigate the day-to-day stress... With everything going on, you may need a safe space like therapy dedicated to figuring "things" out. Therapy can be venting or it could look like a regular conversation. We may use metaphors, song lyrics, reconnecting with our ancestors, or anything else to gain deeper insight into your life's purpose and how you can unlock your greatest potential.

My approach to therapy is based on the conviction that our current behaviors are a function of our system and relationships with others. I try to learn from my client's experiences to develop a better understanding of who they are, how they developed their sense of self, their worldview, and behavior.

“People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are.” -Carl Rogers. Of the concerns that bring folks to therapy, the ability to find someone understanding is most important. I utilize a Person in Environment (PIE) and strengths-based framework. This means understanding and appreciating how one’s environment impacts their life as well as the individual qualities one possesses to create change. My theoretical orientation includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and feminist theory. My values include compassion, persistence, and authenticity.

Sometimes, life is like strolling down a one-of-a-kind path, packed with experiences and dreams that are all uniquely ours. It also is a road that can sometimes lead to burnout, self-doubt, and unique challenges. When it comes to therapy, it's clear that our journey to healing and self-discovery deserves a special touch. Our identities are complex and everyone deserves a therapist who not only understands mental health but also appreciates the specific needs that come with the uniqueness of our existence.

Are you feeling stuck? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma? Are you finding it difficult to cope with situations that are happening in your life? Perhaps you are looking to connect with the right person to help you navigate this healing journey.

Welcome and great job taking the step to seek a therapist that is a right fit for you. It’s part of the human experience to struggle with life’s challenges and I believe we all have the power to make meaning out of all life sets before us. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting adults working through depression, anxiety, grief, women’s health issues, parenting struggles, adjustment to life changes and health related concerns. I am especially focused on supporting those working in the healthcare field as well as those struggling with fertility and the post- partum period.

Hey there, feeling stuck lately? Maybe you've been feeling down, depressed, anxious or unmotivated. You may be feeling as if no matter what you do or try, you find yourself in the same place. You feel stuck in the same cycles. You're probably here because you're wanting a change but not sure of how to move from where you are to where you'd like to be.

With over a decade of behavioral health experience, published research in trauma and substance abuse, and a harnessed passion for healing, I offer confidence, non-judgemental compassion, honesty, and hope for us as we tend to the distress of living. Together we explore the beliefs you have about yourself, relationships, and the broader social collective. We develop strategies for uncovering your unique authenticity, and for promoting a personal sense of authority and safety. My approach is trauma-informed, DBT emboldened, and culturally sensitive.

I am a counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children. I use an integrative theory base that affirms the inherent value of each individual and focuses on clients' strengths. My approach is warm and accepting and combines developmental, interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, family systems and internal family systems therapies. I often utilize holistic approaches such a mindfulness and experiential techniques.

There are times when we all struggle to make sense of the world and our place in it. And there are times in life when we all need help, support and guidence to work our way through lifes challenges. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. My commitment to you is to honor and respect who you are as a person and to support you to uncover and discover the strength that's already in you to face your challenges. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you.

In life, challenges and transitions are inevitable, because of this, self-preservation is key. Therapy provides the opportunity for one to become the best version of themselves. It is a collaborative process between therapist and client with the goal of achieving greater health and happiness. I view the counseling relationship to be one of egalitarian nature in which you, the client, are the expert on your own life. I provide a person centered environment focused on fostering resilience and building upon personal strengths. My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.

Life is so much harder than it used to be. We are constantly being challenged and it is often hard to determine what the best next option would be for you. Often times it is difficult to find the best way to manage daily challenges and understand how to meet expectations set by others as well as ourselves. It can be hard to manage stress, worry, sadness, past trauma, and relationships. It is important to remember that you are not alone and there is room for things to get better. The focus is to identify the best way to manage each situation, it is a struggle to know where to start.

Therapy encompasses journeying together to pinpoint your strengths and utilize them to develop fruitful solutions to life challenges. It is my mission to provide encouragement, information, evaluation, and illumination to assist in achieving your goals. Our emphasis will be on reaching back and gathering the best of what the past has to teach so that you can achieve your full potential as you move forward.
