Do you ever drive around and think to yourself about the houses you see and how nice they are? Relationships are similar in a sense in that sometimes we see relationships in our lives/media, and can sometimes influence the relationship 'goals' we wish to be. What we aren't usually privy to are the time and small moments stacked together that helped form that relationship to be what it is, much like the house. If we find ourselves constantly arguing or having 'big bad' situations, while they may be triggered in the moment, we don't usually end up there by accident. Something I like to ask is 'Do I make the most of my moments?'

I utilize a growth-oriented approach to empower people to problem solve and make changes to pursue the life they envision. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) strategies are used in my practice, with an emphasis on the use of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, to equip people with the skills needed to overcome life’s stressors and challenges. In dialectics, we acknowledge the opposing sides of each experience and work together to synthesize the two. I prioritize developing a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship that will meet you where you are at in your journey, and will come alongside you to cultivate your strengths.

With almost 20 years of experience in providing individual and group therapy, I have had the privilege of helping a diverse range of clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief/loss, anger management, young adult issues, women's issues, mood disorders, self-injury, identity, life changes/transitions, relationship difficulties, work/life balance, and empowerment. My approach is centered on DBT, Compassion-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness practices. These tools, combined with a collaborative, transparent, and humor-infused approach, create an environment that promotes insight and positive change.

Do you ever have something you want to say but restrain yourself from doing so out of fear of others' reactions? The truth is what we tell ourselves others think can be a barrier when building an ideal lifestyle. A simple task such as a walk or puzzle quiets negative thoughts and allows you to open up to get the most out of your session. If you are experiencing decreased self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, or eating concerns reach out by phone or email!

Sharing your story is both a powerful and vulnerable experience. Although at times uncomfortable, knowing yourself intimately is also your greatest strength in moving towards your desired self. That’s why beginning therapy with me starts with the formation of a compassionate relationship that respects your autonomy and voice. In recognition of your unique lived experience, I vow to appreciate and incorporate the ideas, practices, and values you bring into this space.

I want to work with clients who are committed to their personal well-being and open to exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They may be experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues, and seek a safe, supportive environment to work through these difficulties. They are motivated to engage in the therapeutic process, willing to be honest and vulnerable, and eager to develop coping strategies and insights. Their goals include achieving emotional balance, improving their mental health, and fostering a greater sense of self-awareness and resilience.

Are you struggling with anxiety, sadness, stress, trauma, relationship challenges? Feeling stuck? Times are more challenging now than ever before. I often hear people think their problems aren’t “big” enough for therapy, but these small issues can impact functioning and quality of life. Or, they feel so lost or shameful. Good news - therapy doesn't have to be a life long commitment. My clients are often in a transitional period of their life or having a harder time coping than usual. This is normal! You deserve this opportunity to de-stress and take care of your needs.

Hey there! Are you dealing with feelings of guilt, negative self-talk, doubt, or worthlessness? You don't have to handle these challenges on your own. My aim is to assist you in navigating your emotional struggles using various theoretical approaches, such as cognitive behavior therapy, existential therapy, and solution-focused therapy.

Experiencing relationship stress—whether in the form of codependency, gaslighting, intimate partner violence, or substance use/addiction—can significantly impact your everyday life. These situations often bring a multitude of emotions that we suppress to protect ourselves from discomfort. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. If you are uncertain about how to define your relationship but sense that something is not quite right, we can explore this together in a safe and supportive environment.

We are more than the stories we have been told about ourselves. However, learning to let go of these narratives or rewrite them in a more compassionate way can be challenging. Mindful of the impact of trauma and systems of oppression, I will work with you to identify clues that tell us when you are feeling overwhelmed and more likely to fall back into unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. I use our therapeutic relationship as a mirror and a safety net to encourage both reflection and self-compassion. I understand the importance of meeting clients where they are at, a practice I bring from my time as a classroom teacher.
