Generally, we react to suffering and what we struggle with by trying to fix perceived problems, our selves, or others. It is natural to not want to suffer, but often our very resistance to suffering, or the habits we develop to avoid discomfort and pain work against us. I provide an integrative, soul-nourishing approach to therapy rooted in embodied depth psychology, health coaching, and mindfulness practices that encourages fully accepting ourselves: our bodies, feelings, and thoughts as they are.

We live in a world where being yourself is under threat and personal identity and personal attacks are on the rise. Creating a safe space for clients to voice their concerns without judgement can be extremely beneficial for individuals. Finding out underlining themes, creating workable and realistic goals and helping people be at peace with who they are and where they are in life is paramount in self identity.

As a dual diagnosis/co-occurring psychotherapist, (licensed mental health counselor and licensed substance use disorder professional) my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. Counseling is an art form.... the art of listening, the ability to create visual understanding of deeply embedded meaning regarded as truth vs. constructions. Healing begins when a client feels safe enough to deconstruct and replace maladaptive beliefs and behaviors. Integrating new perspectives and a fresh understanding of old stories is a means to sustainable change - a gift of self acceptance. As a therapeutic guide, I believe that each of us is the best source of our own healing....I am there to facilitate what is already true and wise in each client.

Through my life and work experience, I learned to view my work through the lens of anti-oppression: I acknowledge the impact that systemic, cultural, and societal expectations have on our daily existence and sense of self. We all carry with us a unique set of intersecting identities, which, taken together, influence our life experiences and shape our worldview. I believe that the foundation of mental health exists in the exploration of these identities and the radical acceptance of our whole selves.

Some problems life throws us are particularly tough. You've likely tried to figure things out on your own; maybe confided in those you are close to - both of which can be very helpful. But there are times when it is valuable to speak with someone who is objective and trained in these matters: to share issues of concern or confusion; with support, without judgement, uncomplicated by the needs or agendas of others. I offer a space to be curious and reflective together where the focus is solely on understanding and helping you. This can provide relief itself and build the trust necessary to identify and address your wished-for change.

Depression is very treatable, especially with time spent understanding the causes as well as developing strategies to gradually engage with life again. I also specialize and deeply enjoy working with clients who identify as Highly Sensitive, who tend to get overwhelmed in our busy culture and crave more private time. Highly Sensitive People often have beliefs of shame and inferiority related to how they see themselves.
