Are you exhausted by the ways you've been affected by yours or someone else's issues or addictions? Make the choice to get the support you need to turn things around regardless of how tough things may be around you. It takes courage to make changes but most of us need support to be successful at it. For many years working in mental health treatment I've helped individuals, groups and couples follow through on their inclination that the time for them to begin making changes is now.

My clients indicate they are most satisfied with my ability to listen deeply, to help them articulate their experience, to provide a sense of safety, and provide strategies for real progress. Defining characteristics of my work are my many years of experience, over 35 years in practice, and the benefits of a holistic approach incorporating physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects. I utilize cognitive and behavioral techniques. I often integrate the perspectives of Carl Jung. I am trained in EMDR. I am certified as a yoga and meditation instructor, and incorporate the benefits of these practices in my work.

Are you looking for relief from anxiety, depression, or trauma symptoms? After 30+ years in this field I have realized how unique each person is and how unique each persons needs are. I have advanced training in several types of therapy including IFS (certified), Eriksonian Hypnotherapy (certified), EMDR (certification equivalent), CBT (certification eqiuvalent). Having been trained in many forms of therapy I realize no one type has everything that is needed for healing. So together we explore what fits best for you. I offer a safe and compassionate space where you may find path to healing and growth.

Reaching out for help takes energy, vulnerability, and courage, and I'm here to help guide you in your journey. I help folks understand and mend parts of themselves, navigate and heal anxieties, and get what they need in life. I have a passion for helping folks through life transitions, loss and grief, balance, and boundaries. I've witnessed that the relationship you have with yourself matters. If you are a creative, a helper, an empath or a sensitive person, we may be a great fit. If you are looking to identify and unlearn what is no longer serving you, while stepping into what does, reach out today.

We all suffer, and we all have to cope with it. I can help relieve people of suffering caused by maladaptive patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving that they have been conditioned to repeat over time. I do this by building a relationship with them, then allowing that relationship to be the template for healthy interactions in life and a realistic perception of themselves and their situation.

Experiencing abuse from a partner can leave you feeling alone, confused, and trapped. Feeling like you don’t have the support of friends or family is one of the loneliest feelings on Earth. The only person you have in your corner is the same person that is causing you pain. You may even think for some reason you deserve to be mistreated; I can assure you that you do not. You are not alone and many others experience exactly what you are going through.

Hi, I'm Kitt! I'm the owner of Defiant Therapy, LLC, a practice that offers an affirming space for you to embrace "defiance" - a sense of trust in yourself that leads you to challenge expectations. I value creating relationships that allow my clients to be free to discover their expansiveness, care for the parts of themself that need tenderness and fierce compassion, and get clear about the change they need and the acceptance they deserve. I work with individuals (adults and adolescents), relationships of two or more, and families who want and need this radical space.

Starting therapy can be a scary thing. You have to talk with a stranger about your most private worries. But somehow, if we make a connection, the therapy space feels like a safe place to talk and feel and be curious about your anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma or whatever nudges you to seek extra support. To me, therapy is all about exploring your inner landscape, finding helpful ways to soothe yourself, developing self-compassion, untangling old stuff that still gets in the way, and becoming empowered to make healthy choices. As hard as we work, we can laugh together, too! Laughter is good medicine.

Spill the tea! It can be difficult to discuss what is truly going on in your head. It may seem like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. It can be scary to reach out to a counselor because you are not sure that you can find someone that you can really connect with and help you make changes in your life.

I work with children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing difficulties at home, school, or work. I have experience working with children who have ADHD, Autism, and various mood disorders (e.g. anxiety, depression, etc.). As a Clinical Psychologist, I have helped children, teens, and adults work through challenges, and have enjoyed taking part in my clients’ stories as they have overcome obstacles and become better equipped with tools that could help them better enjoy life. I also have extensive experience conducting comprehensive (neuro)psychological and psychoeducational assessments on children and adolescents.

I am dedicated to helping people navigate life transitions, heal unresolved trauma, cope with grief and loss, manage anxiety and depression, parent in a conscious and connected manner, and discover their inner wisdom and capacity for self-healing. I use strength-based, trauma-informed, and IFS-informed approaches in my work. I foster a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space for my clients to help them make sense of what they are experiencing, develop insight into their life challenges, access their own strengths and resources, and make changes to lead more fulfilling lives.

I help couples and individuals who are navigating a significant relationship challenge, such as infidelity, where partners are struggling with feelings that interfere with connection and intimacy. My clients may also be working to reconcile additional stressors with their partner, such as LGBTQ+ or kink-identity, mismatched orientations, or ethical non-monogamy. They seek therapy to rebuild trust, manage anxieties, and integrate their authentic selves into relationship. Often, the goal is to create a relationship where partners are accepted, cherished, and feel a genuine and fulfilling connection.

The “Mind-Body” connection is important in growth and healing, so as a therapist I strive to make each therapy session as engaging and interactive as possible. In addition to “talk” therapy, we might incorporate art, movement, role play, nature, or music into the session. I am also trained in EMDR so we can work on past big or little traumas to help you live and thrive in the present. The goal is for you to become your truest and best self always and in all ways by helping you gain new insight into yourself and your life through creative and experiential counseling techniques.

Using an integrative approach to therapy, I provide a nonjudgmental, safe environment to explore your thoughts and feelings in the here-and-now.

I believe this can be the start of your journey to finding hope, wellness, self-empowerment, and joy. I will strive to meet you with compassion, affirmation, and understanding no matter what identities, experiences, and values you hold. I will always seek to support you and to best meet your individual needs in the present moment. If you’re struggling with perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, high sensitivity, relationships, communication, or life transitions, together we can start to work through whatever you’re feeling and discover what’s going on under the surface.

What is Strength for the Journey? A rest stop. A safe haven. A moment to recharge. A chance to find renewal and purpose. You have "a best life to live" regardless of the season or the circumstances you are facing – or the past you are trying to escape. I am here to help you, to remind you that you are equipped for this journey. It’s okay to pause, to cry, to reflect, to forgive others, to forgive yourself, to let go, to start over. You are not alone. You can face the journey before you with confidence and peace. Let's plan the route together.
