I'm so glad you are seeking support. At Healing Grove, I provide psychotherapy services to adults and adolescents. Even when we are doing our best, life brings so much to hold and manage. I hope to assist you in your journey toward greater health and wellbeing. I strive to integrate my expertise and evidence-based practice with your existing strengths and self-knowledge to arrive at a place of healing and growth. My strength is in provision of a warm, inviting, and supportive space where it is safe to reflect on life’s challenges and be your genuine self.

I am open to serving individuals from all walks of life through a person-centered approach to support you in navigating your troubles. I hope to bring humor, connection, and open-minded support to our sessions. To provide a space that promotes self-empowerment, allowing you to recognize challenges, create realistic goals, initiate change, and dive deeper into what works best for you.

My approach is kind, direct and compassionate. You as a client, are my number one priority. We all are different so that means we all need different things to help us grow! My focus is to meet you where you are, assess your strengths and uniqueness, then work together to find a way to utilize and integrate those into accomplishing your goals. I like to gently push my clients toward openness, vulnerability and change. It’s so important to feel heard. It IS necessary for healing, & change. I am committed to offering a safe space for you to learn more about you and meet your goals. You deserve the opportunity to explore your feelings.

I strongly believe that everyone is unique and everyone’s story is unique; therefore, different approaches are essential in working with a wide variety of people. I am a true believer in the concept of “words shape beliefs” and, in that vein, saying “I do not know” or “please help” are powerful words since vulnerability often leads to growth and healing. One of my favorite quotes is by Viktor Frankl who said "When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves."

Are you feeling stuck, alone, lost? I can help. Everyone struggles with navigating a world that's often unkind, confusing, and overwhelming. I get it, it's hard to be a human. Having lived all over the world & moved 19 times, I know life can be tricky to navigate. Sometimes you need someone from the outside to help you make sense of life's messy stuff. I can. I've worked in prisons, with veterans, mil-families, trauma victims, govt officials, celebrities, moms, dads, college students, people like you and me, just trying to do life. I'm confident that together, we can shift, adjust, adapt and thrive. Breathe, then get unstuck.

Everyone deserves a chance to sit in a space of love, allowing for the best version of ones self regardless of life experience. In our own way, we all go through times where we need to be understood, authentically cared about, and supported in a non judgmental way. We do not need to sit in darkness alone. It is valuable to empower ourselves with the support and healing required to live a meaningful, happy existence. Positive lifestyle change can be attained whether its through hiking, yoga, or counseling.

You knew that marriage was going to be hard, but this is ridiculous! It’s not supposed to be THIS hard. There’s just too much bickering, irritability, and frustration. And when you fight—all bets are off and anything goes. It takes days of silence before you recover. You wanted a relationship that eased your burdens, not make life more complicated. You worry that you will stop liking each other. And you will lose the love. But deep down, you really want this to work. You want a closer, deeper relationship. There's hope: you don't have to live this way. You CAN have a great relationship.

Perhaps today you woke up thinking that you are no match for the avalanche of daily struggles, past hurts or unexpected life-changing events that seem to have washed away your joy, your confidence, your sense of self-worth and direction. Maybe today you are feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders and find that you are overwhelmed, tired and that you’ve lost the fight. You’ve come to the right place!

Now in Huntington too! Therapy is a place to pause, reflect on what you are seeking in life and explore the barriers preventing you from taking that next step in your journey. Life changes or chronic situations can throw us off course, leaving us to feel out of sync, confused, & disconnected from life. Whether you are looking to reconnect, find purpose, learn new coping skills, process trauma or loss, manage anxiety, deal with shame or make a life changing decision, therapy can be a safe place to discover the power you have within yourself to design your own solutions & find new ways to navigate challenging situations.
