I am not accepting new clients at this time. I view the individual wholistically and focus the counseling goals on mental, physical and spiritual well being. In the beginning of the therapeutic process I will take the first few visits to gather information about the concerns you have, the area of your life that you would like to change and the goals you have for yourself. I will use certain assessment tools as appropriate including a family genogram. After our assessment has been completed in about three sessions, we will agree upon treatment goals for therapy. Sliding scale fees available.

Have you tried therapy before but it didn't really stick? A lot of people think what they're dealing with is anxiety or depression, because that is what it feels like to them. But if you also notice recurring emotional patterns, like feeling rejected, abandoned, not good enough; or behavioral patterns like pouring yourself into work or hobby, avoiding something or someone, or striving for perfection and people pleasing, these could be signs that common therapies for anxiety and depression just aren't going to cut it for you.

Sometimes even the smartest and most capable women I know feel stuck. It could be moving beyond an issue in a relationship, anxiety, perfectionism or it could be an eating disorder or traumatic memory. You may feel like you are underperforming in life and relationships or just completely overwhelmed with everything going on. When we do not have the social support we need or just not sure how to use our social support, it can be helpful to talk to a professional and get objective feedback. To be asked thought provoking questions. To get ideas with how to move forward and start thriving in life!

You have a reason for seeking out help - you want a life that works for you, where you can do the things that matter to you and be more fully yourself. Maybe you want to reconnect with your body. Maybe you want to feel safe again, or get more joy in your life. Maybe you're dealing with burnout, stress, or exhaustion. Maybe you have chronic pain or illness, or your executive function hasn't been able to keep up. Maybe you're just looking for ways to survive in a system that wasn't built for you.

I love helping adults develop skills to live their best and most functional lives. I hold a certification in trauma therapy and am trained in EMDR. It is important for clients to understand that change takes work and can be uncomfortable but I seek to come alongside to empathize, educate, support and encourage my clients. I utilize mostly mind/body techniques such as EMDR to assist in the diagnostic and healing process. If you are willing to do the work to bring about change in your life I could be the right fit for you.
