Growing up carries with it tremendous potential for learning - through finding guidance or in mistakes learned along the way. The voices of anxiety and depression can leave us confused as we navigate life transitions. "We all have pain, we all have sorrow" as Bill Withers used to say. You might be asking, 'Do I feel safe and secure?' and 'Am I loved or even lovable?' As a teen or young adult, it can feel like there aren't always visible and felt answers to these questions. We feel more confident in life when we know that someone has our back. I am a few months away from completing my MA in Counseling from Western Seminary.

As a solution-focused therapist, 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.

Have you ever wished you could get in-person therapy without having to sit in an office with the therapist? Do you feel too busy to schedule both therapy and exercise into one day and wish the two could be combined? If so, then "walk and talk" could be a good fit for you. I offer the opportunity to receive counseling or coaching while outside in nature moving your body. Research demonstrates that both exercise and spending time outdoors in sunlight and green spaces provides a reduction in symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and stress while improving mood overall. I also offer zoom or in person sessions.

You may find working together to be supportive if you are grieving the loss of a pregnancy and need a private space to sort through your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions about it. Many women benefit from being able to speak frankly about their loss experience. You may also find it helpful to work together if you are in a relationship where you feel fundamentally confused, doubt yourself, worry about wearing your friendships thin by talking about your relationship too much, or find yourself thinking that you have to be sure you have tried everything before leaving. You deserve this support and you are not "crazy."
