Do you feel anxious, alone, stuck, or disconnected in your life? Has something bad happened to you in the past and it seems to be controlling how you feel and interact with others in your life today? Often times when trauma occurs, it gets locked in our body and we learn to live through life functioning from a set of beliefs and behaviors. These beliefs and behaviors may not be serving you well and may actually be causing disruptions towards a happier self.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness, I help my clients identify and change ways of thinking and coping that may be impacting their mental health. This approach includes teaching coping skills that will target specific symptoms and triggers as well as learning to cope with or resolve intense emotional pain. I use this approach to treat complicated grief, trauma, panic, and related anxiety or depression.

In our fast-paced society, it is difficult to take the time to wonder, especially about ourselves. Questions such as “Why do I get so angry?”, “Why am I not happy?”, or “Why do I have so much conflict in my relationships?” do not have easy answers. Sometimes, we need to slow down and sit with someone, like a psychotherapist, who can provide a safe space to explore the answers to these questions and more.

I would describe my style as creative, contemplative, and collaborative. My clients initially come to me for answers, but they eventually realize that the truth lies deep inside of them. My joy is watching my clients tapping into their inner wisdom and cultivating their skills to live meaningful lives. While science is the backbone of my practice, I see psychotherapy as an art form and a sacred practice that draws upon one's deeply held values and cultural & indigenous resources.

In all seasons of life, we experience obstacles between where we are and where we'd like to be. These obstacles can often present themselves in the form of anxiety, depression, a lack of self-confidence, relational issues, or unresolved trauma/grief, etc. I work with individuals in a collaborative process to explore these obstacles, challenge old patterns and beliefs, and find new ways of thinking and living. It is my hope that therapy is a positive journey for every individual and that starts with finding the right therapist. My approach is very relational, interactive, and direct.

I believe that therapy is, in short, workshopping the relationship between one's physiological experience, one's intellectual or spiritual experience, and one's environment. There is no manual that we are given to work out how these experiences interact with each other, and it is important to experience a safe, competent space to explore where these relationships are causing friction. I have worked with youth and adolescents, people with developmental disabilities in a supported living setting, people experiencing chronic severe mental health issues and homelessness, and people experience mild to moderate anxiety and depression.
