Kierkegaard stated, “the most common form of despair is not being who you are.” Whether you experience this as anxiety, depression, a sense of being “thrown” into the world, stress, or some murky, unnamable thing, it’s daunting to not feel like yourself. A lack of support, past trauma, systemic oppression, or societal pressures can result in feeling like it’s either unsafe to be yourself or, in some cases, like you’ve never had the opportunity to even meet the real you. It’s my belief that you are worth knowing, that your story deserves to be heard, & that therapy can be a powerful tool in finding meaningful change.

I welcome clients who are dealing with specific challenges as well as those who feel stuck, lost, or even unable to find words for their experiences. Our past experiences inform our best characteristics, and they cause us to develop coping skills that no longer work and keep us blocked from the life we want to have. My goal is to support you in shifting your relationship to past events and experiences to create the conditions for new, more adaptive coping strategies to emerge.

You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, a personality disorder, another mental health challenge, chronic pain, trouble with relationships, or difficulties at your place of employment. You may feel stuck in your life or need to clarify personal values and goals. I am skilled and experienced at working with people facing a variety of mental health and related challenges. I specialize in working with people 18 years old and older. My approach to therapy starts with the idea that people are usually the best experts on their own lives.

The mind can be a beautiful yet intricately tangled realm. It is my passion to help clients unravel their core thoughts and emotions impacting their day to day lives. Whether it is delving into the stressors of work and school, strengthening relationships with loved ones and peers, or simply finding one's strengths and goals for their own happiness. I also co-facilitate two therapy groups. Saturdays at 10am we host a teenage girls group (ages 14 to 17) and on Thursdays at 5:30 we are building a client list to start a tween girls art therapy group (ages 10-13).

As a Licensed Substance Abuse Counselor (LISAC), my clients may be struggling with generational patterns of substance abuse and seeking new coping mechanisms. They desire to break free from this cycle, addressing underlying mental health issues like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. They want to build healthier relationships, improve communication, and establish strong boundaries. They seek support to navigate their journey with empathy and understanding, aiming for self-awareness, healing, and a sense of empowerment.

My ideal client might struggle with depression, trauma, or anxiety. They will be goal-oriented and driven, willing to be vulnerable. Their goals would be to decrease feelings of depression or anxiety. I work with clients to identify past unresolved trauma, often an underlying issue contributing to one's current negative or dysfunctional behaviors and feelings. My goal is to help individuals work through their past trauma and learn new, effective ways to cope with their feelings, behaviors, and problematic thoughts in a compassionate environment.

Are you looking to improve your self-esteem, consider important life decisions, or finally overcome your trauma? I would consider it an honor to accompany you in discovering the truest and most whole version of yourself. While many people are struggling with depression and anxiety from an abundance of stressors, these symptoms do not need to define your life. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to improving mental health because your life is entirely unique. I am excited to build a partnership with you to identify the goals that will improve your quality of life and then pursue them.

Greetings and thank you for stopping by. I am currently accepting new clients and I am only doing telehealth session. What I value most is a deep knowledge of the self, and how to eradicate past core belief systems that no longer serve us as we evolve into our true nature. If you find yourself struggling to transform your unhealthy habits and patterns, now is the time to change. This is your life, and learning to let go of the old, outdated beliefs takes courage and skills. I would love to foster your growth on your journey forward.
