I'm trained in CBT,
ACT
, Mindfulness, EFT and Gottman methods.
I offer counseling to individuals and couples. The most important trait I believe a therapist can bring to a person who is suffering mentally, emotionally and or spiritually is unconditional positive regard. I welcome the opportunity to help you navigate the complexities of your mental health. Together we can determine a treatment plan that meets your specific needs. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping clients overcome challenges and increase their joy, satisfaction and qualify of life.

I strive to be relationship focused in all I do as a counselor, even in my individual work. I believe the research and have observed how loneliness hurts: we thrive when connected and struggle when isolated. I utilize EFT and the Gottman Method with couples; I focus on family work with children because individual play therapy is often unhelpful, in the long-term; Filial Play Therapy and PCIT are my favorites models for parents with their children. I utilize
ACT
and Arbinger principles in most of my work. I foster connections with my clients but especially between clients and their people, including their spiritual Connection.

Therapy often starts with relearning and practicing trust and
acceptance
.
I like to come at therapy kind of like I would a drummer at a jam session. I'm there to find a groove with another voice. I want to communicate with you and help you to open up and learn to express yourself. We will seek understanding first and then we will find a way to encourage healing and growth that is unique to you and builds a stronger identity. I am strengths-based and I like to find existing skills to help a client build a new way of thinking and interacting with their body. This is also a very effective way of beginning the process of healing symptoms of PTSD in conjunction with other evidence based trauma treatments.

I use various modalities such as EMDR, CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT,

I believe that despite life’s challenges and often because of these challenges every individual has their own unique capabilities and strengths. Every individual has worth and purpose. Difficult life circumstances and our own misperceptions can sometimes mask these truths, but I seek to help my clients remember them. Hope and healing can be found by drawing on the strengths within!

I feel drawn to working with women and the LGBTQIA+ community. Ideally, my client is a female (The term female is used in terms of how one identifies themselves and is not solely meaning cisgender terminology.) I provide a space where whatever needs to be said, can be be voiced, without judgment. I believe you know the answers for yourself, but sometimes you just need someone to help you get those answers. That's where I come in!

I believe therapy should be collaborative, my role is to
act
as a guide for you as you navigate the journey to your rich and meaningful life.
Do you feel stuck, lost or alone? Is it hard to function because of the weight of difficult thoughts and emotions? Do you have a chronic illness and feel like no one understands the emotional struggles that can bring? Do you feel like life is sometimes too much? All of these challenges can be overwhelming and challenging to deal with alone. It never hurts to have someone to talk to, especially someone who does their best to connect with you on an individual level.

Sometimes parts of our life can feel overwhelming and debilitating. It can be difficult to know who to turn to and what to do.

Hi, thanks for clicking on my profile! I’m guessing you are in need of help or change, even if you don't know what that is. You may be feeling stuck, tired, overwhelmed, worried, sad or just “not good enough. Maybe you are brand new to therapy or have tried in the past and are ready to try again. Let's figure out what you are doing, believing, or have experienced that holds you back from living the rich, full, and meaningful life that YOU want. I work well with teens, college students, new parents, adults, and occasionally older children. We will focus on what matters most to you and how you can live a life based on your values.

Do you feel hopeless at times? Are you in a state of constant worry? Are negative emotions invading your life? Navigating through anxiety, depression, and relationship issues can be difficult, but you don't have to go through it alone. I would be happy to work through this difficult time with you. If you are experiencing loneliness, isolation, avoidance, or unwanted thoughts, you may be a victim of narcissistic abuse. I have worked with many clients over the years to restore the confidence and peace of mind experienced before the abuse took place. It is possible to regain confidence, control, and feel at peace with yourself again.

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.
