Waitlist for new clients
I love working alongside adults and teens who are ready to explore what is going on underneath their symptoms. Clients I support seek therapy for help with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and/or suicidal ideation among other difficult things. Often (though not always), clients are part of the LGBTQ+ community and are interested in figuring out how their experience of gender identity and/or sexuality fits into their mental health and lives. First, we get to know you better while we find ways to cope with symptoms. When you’re ready, we take a deep dive together into what’s causing life to feel hard, unmanageable, or even unlivable.

Are you wanting to feel that you are good enough? Anxiety, grief, trauma, relational wounding, and oppression can really shake our belief in ourselves, others, and the world. Working together, you will cultivate relief by developing trust in your inner strengths, increasing your ability to manage stress, processing past wounding, and tending to ongoing challenges. We will weave in the impacts that systems of oppression have had on your well-being. I don't have a magic wand that can make the pain or life challenges disappear. And it is possible to cultivate a larger container that holds the complexities of being human with more ease.

I work with individuals who want to make a change in their life but solutions and where to start feel far or impossible. We will become a team that will learn what you need and how to get you to where you want to be. Ideally, an individual working with me would be open to bringing nature and or movement into the session, however, that is not required. I simply believe that trauma, anxiety, and other symptoms can get stuck in the body and movement helps as well as nature. Walking creates linear thinking and fresh air can give a sense of calmness.

What would your life be like if you could love yourself freely? What’s getting in the way? A compulsive behavior? Fear? Shame? Grief? A story left over from childhood? You may not know but you’d like to. One client described working with me as, “An immersive experience into my subconscious that was actually energizing! I’ve been in therapy my entire adult life. I wish I had known sooner that this is an option!” Somatic hypnotherapy is great for neutralizing anxiety, phobias, childhood wounds, codependency, self-sabotage, addictions, etc. making it possible for Love to flow through you in your everyday life. It’s your birthright!

My counseling style embraces the principles of Positive Psychology, which is based upon the belief that we should be as concerned with a person's strengths as well as their weaknesses. This approach takes a client-centered approach; building the best parts of an individual's life, as well as repairing the worst. I believe in using a kind yet direct approach with my clients working in a non-judgmental manner meeting clients directly where they are in life. My strong belief in the healing process has allowed me to have the honor of being a part of positive change in the lives of my clients.

I work with the notion that people are naturally motivated to find meaning in their lives. As people search for meaning they may suffer emotionally, spiritually and psychologically and respond reactively rather than attentively. Counseling is a way to observe the reactive patterns in your life that are causing you to suffer. I will support you in discovering options to your life's challenges. I provide a place for you to observe and practice alternative ways of self-expression and I work with you towards solutions that will empower you to make the changes you want in your life. Models used: IFS, CBT and ACT

Even the "little" things feel overwhelming. Balancing work, relationships, and that inner voice that says you're not good enough is a constant struggle. Dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship distress can make you feel like you're losing control. Despite looking like you've got your shit together, you're plagued with self-doubt, irritability, and a sense of hopelessness, and it's hard to make lasting changes. To put it plainly, life feels exhausting. But now, you're determined to break the cycle. You’re ready for relief, to quiet your mind, and above all, to take control of your life.
