Navigating life, at all stages, presents its own challenges. Whether an adolescent in grade school or an adult handling life stressors, I'm here for you. Having support and resources in times of need is essential. Attending school can bring on external concerns such as bullying, relationship issues, self-identity struggles and challenges with anxiety and depression. Parents often feel overwhelmed and struggle prioritizing their own self care. My experience working in schools as a counselor has allowed me to understand unique school challenges from many angles. I support youth and parents and meet them where they are.

Everyone thinks you have it all together, maybe you’re the friend that everyone goes to for advice, or the one that puts on a smile for the world while you are struggling on the inside. Perhaps you are longing for a deeper purpose in life, to feel more connected with yourself and others, but something out of your conscious awareness seems to be sabotaging that goal. There might be a part of you that wants to experience freedom from stress and anxiety, but feels unsure on how to get there. It can be so frustrating to KNOW what we need to do, and struggle to EMBODY that knowing. Believe me, you are not alone.

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
