In the words of Jimmy Buffett…”Life is just a tire swing”. It’s not about the weight you can carry on your shoulders as you’re swinging from one side to another; it’s about how you can cope with it and learn to withstand and/or recover quicker, thus building a level of resiliency, clarity, and confidence.

My ideal client would be vulnerable yet aware in the beginning. They would be open to learning about therapy options. They would also have many questions, including sharing their fears regarding therapy. My ideal client would also be prepared to complete homework assignments and truly engage in each session. During the therapeutic sessions, I would learn what each emotion looks like for my client and how it impacts their lives. My ideal client's growth is evident in each session that they participate in, and they never give up on them.

You are your story, and you are more. You are strong, brave, courageous. We humans are angry, sad, confused, lonely, ashamed- can these be turned to good? We are deeply discouraged, seek forgiveness, or require a mirror to understand our need. We fear, we desire. In our noisy stimulating world we long for silence in our soul, to listen, so that we might know what we are called to do.

A client who desires to accept partnership and engage in being open to change is the most ideal client.

Due to my experience working in community mental health, I also work well with those with intense mental health and substance abuse treatment needs. I have worked both inpatient and outpatient experiences, resulting in my flexibility to help stabilize in a crisis and to work with individuals at any level.

I am interested in working with individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds. I see the importance in identifying the ways thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence our lives. Identifying the root of the issues we face is difficult but necessary for lasting change whether you're experiencing relational issues, anxiety, depression, grief, or having difficulty navigating major life transitions.

Daytime and evening appointments are available in person or online through a secure telehealth platform.
To outsiders, your life seems great. You're capable, reliable, and driven. However, inside, you never feel good enough, and your inner critic points out every fault. You've kept up this act for years, but it's taking a toll, leaving you exhausted, and you know you can't continue living like this. You’re tired of prioritizing others over yourself. It's time for change.

The pressure to succeed, need to “keep up,” fear of missing out and desire for good relationships and work satisfaction can all evoke strong emotions. However, society teaches how to block and avoid them. We do it quite well: alcohol use, drug use, screen time...there are a multitude of ways to avoid our feelings. When we do acknowledge them, we swat them away with mantras learned since childhood (“Mind over matter,” “get over it” and “suck it up”). Thwarting emotions is not good for mental or physical health and emotional avoidance comes at a cost.
