ACCEPTING CLIENTS. I love to help women that feel they are being crushed by anxiety and expectations. I help my clients gain confidence, set boundaries, and begin prioritizing taking care of themselves. I work with anxiety, OCD, trauma processing, and perinatal concerns (pregnancy through postpartum).

Welcome to Thrive Counseling. I am here to offer a place for healing and restored hope: A place to Thrive! Because of some of my most challenging experiences as a child, an adult, wife and mother, in addition to my experience in ministry leadership, I pursued counseling as a career. My goal as a therapist is to give you the room to grow and find the courage for change. Together, we can work to find the skills needed for a new and exciting therapeutic transformation.

If you are experiencing worry, sadness, anxiety, depression, mood swings, or anger that is too big or too constant, you may need a quiet, compassionate person who can help you reduce your discomfort. I work from a place of wellness and growth, not illness. I will help you understand your challenges in ways that give you the ability to work with your (or your family's) concerns. You can change what needs changing, and keep what works well in your life.

You're feeling overwhelmed, tired, maybe even frustrated at reaching your potential and dreams in life, including your relationships marriage, work, and friendships. You're feeling stressed, worried about life issues, and maybe issues of pain, grief, disappointment of the past play into your daily life. It is difficult to move forward, you struggle with being authentic in relationships. Stressed and exhausted. As a seasoned Mental Health Counselor of 25 + years, I consider it an honor to journey with you through the healing process. I am trained in EMDR to help with trauma, anxiety, PTSD, relationships.

Pull up a bean bag chair, grab your favorite fidget, and let's talk. Maybe you describe your life as "a lot," and struggle to find the spoons to get all your stuff done as well as make meaningful change. Maybe anxiety takes up so much space in your day that it leaves little room for the things you want. Maybe your story includes trauma, and that burden is getting so heavy, it hurts. You want to pursue fulfillment, satisfaction, meaning, and peace in your world. If any of these or other painful places in your heart are true, I would love to get a chance to walk alongside you and find what you're looking for together.

I believe that people as unique individuals have the capacity to grow, heal and change, learning new ways for improving their health and well-being in all areas of life including biological, psychological, social and spiritual. Personal growth is facilitated by setting and working toward goals, assessing and building strengths in these areas to develop skills and resources that help them manage life challenges. As a professional, I focus on working collaboratively with my clients in a safe and open environment to identify goals and work towards positive resolutions.

If you find yourself over-burdened by worry, anxiety, depression, or grief, blindsided by unexpected intense reactions to painful memories, or just plain stuck, it might be a good time to talk to a counselor. I have a passion for helping people overcome depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, and grief, and manage various forms of chronic mental health conditions. I use evidence and time tested approaches to help people clarify what they want and realize and develop their own capabilities.

We will build from your strengths to fit your needs. Cognitive-Behavioral: Thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact; to change one of these it is often helpful to change the others. Family Systems Theory: Family members affect each other; each person is helped with improved family interactions. Solution focused Therapy: Fixing the problem, regardless of the where and when that problem started. Narrative Therapy: Focusing on your strengths so you see yourself as the hero of your healing.

Often, when we feel blocked by experiencing overwhelming negative thoughts and emotions, it can make one feel trapped with no way out. Anger, frustration, sadness and worry can easily pound down confidence and push away people we care about in our lives. My passion is helping you break free from what I call the "dictatorship" of anxiety, anger, depression, past hurts, and work with you to find your personal strength to start living your life on your terms and strengthen connections with others.

We all face difficult times in life and sometimes cannot even pinpoint the source of the pain. Therapy is an incredible way to face what hurts but also an amazing opportunity to grow into our best selves. I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety/depression, past-trauma, divorce/separation, toxic relationships and negative seIf-talk/faulty thinking. You may not feel like yourself lately, or are struggling to even know who you are or what you want out of life. Allow me to listen, walk beside you, and help you set and achieve your personal goals. Note: I am a telehealth only therapist with Northwest Counsel.

I am proud of you for taking the first steps for you. I imagine this is not easy, but this is a sign of strength and you're stronger then you know. In today's realities, many are struggling with uncertainties, stress, fear, loneliness and isolation. If you are facing ADHD/Depression/Anxiety symptoms, therapy can be helpful in learning coping strategies. If you're struggling and having a hard time, therapy can be helpful. Lets learn how to bring ourselves a sense of calm and learn how to be in control of our life. Therapy helps us learn to manage the perceived unmanageable.

You can heal by recognizing how important your thoughts and feelings are in navigating this world. We often use our minds to solve everything and sometimes we "solve" ourselves into trouble. We become fragmented when we problem solve without taking the time to tend to our whole self.
