I believe in a collaborative approach to psychotherapy focusing on clients' current needs and goals. Together we work to solve troublesome situational or long-standing problems leading to living one's best life now. Using client-centered methods, we begin with each individual's unique point of view to address a range of problems such as depression/anxiety, life crisis/life stage, relationships, parenting, trauma resolution/post trauma (PTSD) and provide understanding. Relationship issues are often at the heart of the matter and the opportunity is provided here to focus and improve upon them in a safe and confidential setting.

Know that YOU are valuable! If you are struggling with believing that, I can help. Let's work through past trauma, negative self-talk, self-acceptance, and everything in between. Let's improve your relationships by becoming a more whole you, finding your worth, and setting boundaries. You are the one person you have for your entire life; therefore, stop treating yourself like your worst enemy and be your best friend.

I am a licensed clinical therapist and have a passion for helping others improve their quality of life. I am very thankful to have the opportunity to meet amazing people while also understanding that people experience hardships and have struggles throughout life. I believe with the support and help of a mental health professional in a safe and private environment, one can work through the difficult challenges in life to live their fullest life desired. My focus as your therapist is to provide for you a caring and nonjudgemental relationship to explore and process feelings, struggles, identify needs, and increase self-understanding.

Welcome to a space where your truth is honored and your authentic self is celebrated. Here, we dive deep into the wisdom of your body and mind, using embodied psychotherapy to help you reconnect with your inner self. We might be a good fit if you're ready to explore the patterns that keep you from feeling fully alive and want to live more authentically. This isn’t just about talking—it’s about genuinely feeling, sensing, and moving through what holds you back. I intend to create a space where your growth feels natural and aligned with who you are at your core.

People consider therapy for a variety of reasons & I'm here to help through NWA Therapy's team. My experience working in a hospice setting has helped me learn so much to support and counsel someone as they journey through grief and loss. My work in dialysis has informed me on strategies to help patients manage the emotional stress of chronic illness & medical concerns. Work in a psychiatric hospital exposed me to patients struggling with significant mental health problems. I want to partner with you as we work together through the struggles of life including depression, grief, loss, anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions.

Welcome to my webpage! I’m a family systems oriented therapist and 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 in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, (such as IFS, DBT, CBT, EMDR) we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I believe that growth and change are courageous actions and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your journey towards self-acceptance and understanding. In my practice, I am passionate about helping clients create and live a more fulfilling life. I provide clients with a safe and non-judgmental place to share their feelings and identify their values. When I'm not in the office, I enjoy traveling, being outdoors and spending time with friends and family. My holistic approach to therapy reflects my belief that balancing mental, emotional and physical health is often necessary to achieve overall well-being.

Are you struggling with change in your life? You feel powerless, hopeless, fearful, or even angry. Maybe it was something out of your control like a change in your job, health, or a relationship. Maybe it was a purposeful step like coming out as your authentic self or making a career change. Either way, you're in the middle of it now and it’s scary. You've tried controlling and suppressing your thoughts and feelings but they keep coming back. You wish life could just go back to the way it was before. You wish this change came with a guidebook. If nothing else, you wish you could just figure out that next step.

My approach to therapy begins with a belief that we are all wired for connection. Connection happens when we are heard and understood in relationship to others. I engage our work through compassion, curiosity, humor, perspective, and honesty. I believe that creating a space to slow down and tune into our emotions, beliefs, and responses is a primary way to heal, grow, and authentically relate to others. My passion in counseling is to create a relationship built on safety, trust, and hope, where people feel accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. .

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. For some, it may even seem scary to invite someone into your private world. You worry about being judged or losing control, and these concerns are completely valid. However, therapy provides a safe, judgment-free space for exploration. Together, we'll collaborate to prioritize support in your life.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients including children, adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, life adjustments and relational issues.

Therapy clients need emotional safety above all else. Meaningful therapy happens when the client knows they are respected and received without judgement, listened to with deep compassion, and offered responses that speak directly to their most difficult and painful struggles. I work from the premise that the client is the expert on their experience, and it is my job to help clients find and utilize the strengths they already possess. I use my empathic nature, my curiosity, openness, and playfulness to provide a safe space for this powerful and beautiful work my clients are brave enough to embark on.

I am passionate about supporting all stages of life. I am a birth and death doula with years of experience in the medical field supporting people through grief, infant loss, medical trauma, new diagnoses or end of life care. I feel privileged to witness the vulnerability of the postpartum period and love supporting parents through normal ups and downs or postpartum depression and mood disorders. Other experience includes adoption and foster care, working with people living with HIV, people who use drugs and survivors of sexual violence. As a member of the LGBTQIA community, I proudly serve individuals and families of all identities.

Deciding to get counseling is a brave step. It takes courage to risk being vulnerable with a stranger, but seeking an ally to help when you feel stuck or overwhelmed is a sign of mental health. As a counselor, I seek to form a partnership of equals with clients. I have been on both sides of the counseling relationship, and I know how powerful it can be to connect in a validating and supportive environment. I love counseling in part because I often learn as much from my clients as I have from being a client myself.

Accepting new clients this April! I see adults for outpatient psychotherapy, in the office and via teletherapy sessions. Blue Cross insurance plans only. Currently the self pay fee is $150 per hour long office or teletherapy session.

My goal when working with individuals is to provide support as individuals find their own hopeful path and voice. Sometimes we get in a downward spiral or stuck in places where we are not fulfilled or content. I hope to facilitate and encourage your own strengths and passions towards feeling better. Additionally, I have worked with children and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, stress, and depression. This phase of life can be quite difficult, particularly if you are struggling with peers or a mental health issue. Lastly, I enjoy working with young and LBGTQ+ adults as they navigate challenges and/or relationship issues.

Sessions are client-centered and assist clients in reaching their goals. I like to serve as a guide and a helper to assist in unpacking complicated things. I believe that people have the answers inside them and sometimes need some assistance in seeing things more clearly to live their best lives.

Hello! Let's be honest, life is hard. Finding someone who you trust to guide and walk alongside you through therapy is even harder. As a therapist I strive to be someone who can offer a space that is free of judgement or expectations and is full of warmth and acceptance. I consider my role as a counselor to be one that I hold in high regard. I find genuine fulfillment in being able to meet people where they are and walk with them toward healing and growth. Life is full of changes, high points, and low points. I would be honored to help you navigate all of the challenges life may throw at you.
