Finding the right support for your child can be a difficult and overwhelming task. Do you have questions about your student's academic ability or if their needs are being appropriately met in school? Students who have learning differences such as gifted and talented, twice exceptional, dyslexia and other learning disabilities, may not always receive what they need both academically and social emotionally. As a trained and nationally certified school psychologist, I have a thorough understanding of how children process information, barriers to learning, appropriate interventions and supports offered in the schools.

Allow me to help resolve and overcome the road blocks in your life. I am a licensed counselor that specializes in child, adolescent, and adult issues including trauma, self-esteem, depression, grief/loss, and anxiety. I believe the adjustment to parenthood can be quite challenging and therefore work with new parents in a variety of post partum issues as the transition is made in their new life. I believe when problems are not addressed, they become magnified and all encompassing. I value each individual's therapeutic journey and enjoy the role in helping facilitate this!

People seek therapy because they need to make changes in their lives. Whether feeling overwhelmed by current circumstances or unable to break away from old patterns and struggles, therapy offers clarity, hope, and the possibility of change. My experience and education have led me to believe that one of the most important aspects of psychotherapy is the client-therapist relationship: therapy is a relationship based treatment. My client-centered approach is built on a positive, mutually respectful relationship. My approach is individually tailored for each client, taking into account their past and their current situation.

Change is not linear. I understand the numerous challenges in life that can make you feel as if you have gone nowhere. The anxiety that sets in is alarming and the depression that may later consume you feels debilitating. However, my work has also taught my the impact we often have on our own suffering: how we often jump to "I can't" instead of "I can try." We have all found ourselves deep in self-doubt, feeling stuck in the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Are you hoping to see how change and success can become more linear overtime? My approach can help you get there.

Are you a recovering perfectionist with a penchant for creative expression and spiritual practice? Do you feel burnt out by how much you care yet deflated by the social systems with which you interact? Is your attention overly affected by sensory stimuli in your environment? Do you have a difficult time managing your energy and time without externally imposed deadlines? Are you currently sober from an addiction yet wishing to deepen your lifelong practice of healing from the unrealistic expectations you have of others and yourself? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you're likely in the right place!

We are all becoming. Becoming more confident, more weighed down by the stressors of life and our relationships, more independent, and more unsure of our identity or place in the world. And the most confusing part: all of those ‘becomings’ are happening at the same time. How are we able to celebrate the joys in our worlds while feeling tied to pressures that are both external to us and internal, hitting close to vulnerable wounds? Welcome to Becoming Therapy Services. By engaging in open and collaborative dialogue, we will use tools to help discover the stories that deserve a voice and parts of you that exist beyond the surface.

Do you struggle with focusing heavily on the negative, fearing the worst possible outcome in situations, or blaming yourself for events outside of your control? Maybe you have a tendency to assume what others are thinking or feeling and jump to conclusions, often for the worse. If you're constantly ruminating and being hard on yourself, you're not alone. This is normal. When these neural pathways are left undisrupted, you may get stuck feeling anxious, depressed, or lacking hope that things can get better. It doesn't have to be this way.

When do you first remember feeling hopeless or alone? Or the first time you recall thinking, ‘Is this the happiest I am ever going to feel?’ Perhaps it was leaving work last night and wondering, 'How did I get here?' Today you can choose to start feeling different.

I have over 30 years of experience in psychology - researching, teaching, and practicing psychotherapy. As a therapist I work from client-centered integrative approach depending on each client's presentation and therapeutic needs, utilizing a wide variety of techniques, including EMDR, and emphasizing a collaborative approach to therapeutic process.

As humans, we are subjected to the many ups, and downs life throws at us. One of my favorite quotes that I use as a core principle to help clients is, "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." Meaning we can choose, and we have to power to regain a rich, full, meaningful life. If you are ready to break old patterns, live a life in the direction of your values, and accept all parts of yourself, then you are already on your path of personal growth. My goal is to walk alongside you through this journey and provide support and empowerment to live a heart-driven, meaningful life.

Together, we will unravel negative patterns & rebuild your relationships so that you feel deeply connected with those closest to you.

Have you experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, or negative self-worth? Have you become stuck in negative patterns of poor self-care, disordered eating, or interpersonal relationships that are draining or even abusive? I have dedicated my practice to helping others heal and break free from negative cycles of abuse - both within and outside oneself.
