I've collected a variety of therapy approaches that allow me to help clients get unstuck from unhelpful patterns in their lives, including Narrative Therapy, ACT, Polyvagal Therapy, SE, HeartMath, and treatment for body image, binge eating, and body focused repetitive behaviors.
"Ego says, 'Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace.' Spirit says, 'Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.'" (Marianne Williamson). I believe that peace and quality of life is achieved by working in reverse. That is, going inward to rediscover the divinity that rests in you. My objective is to encourage clients to use their strengths and resources to recognize their inner wisdom, thus allowing them to become their authentic self. Working together, we can identify barriers to wellbeing, explore solutions that empower, and expand awareness.

My goal is to create an environment of acceptance, empathy, encouragement, peace, and safety that fosters growth, healing, and strength.
My passion to serve others is a driving force in my work and life. I have worked in home health, family preservation, and the public school system at the elementary level working with children with IEPs. I believe it is important to approach the counseling process in a holistic manner; recognizing that each part of a person’s life impacts how they approach and view their circumstances. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-based approach, and Person-Centered therapy. I will tailor my treatment approach to the client's needs.

My work is heavily influenced by cognitive behavioral and ACT theories.
I began my career working with caregivers of adults living with dementia. This prepared me for moving into work with children and adults with autism and other similar diagnoses. I currently also enjoy working with school-aged children, their families, and individuals looking to do the work to make meaningful change in their life.

I know what it's like to feel lost, confused, and as though you're stuck at a crossroads with no directions. I also know how important connection and understanding are in those times. I believe the beauty of therapy is how it can disentangle the confusion, revealing profound change, empowerment, and freedom. I can work with individuals or couples encountering a variety of concerns. I am particularly experienced to help clients navigating through relationship issues such as codependency, boundaries, infidelity, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I am drawn to help women recovering from abusive relationships and trauma.

Each person's life has incredible value. The problem for many is that they fail to see and or recognize their worth and potential. The good news is that regardless of one's circumstances, or problems, change is always possible. It is ultimately up to us to decide who we will be, and what kind of mark we want to make in this world. As a counselor, I see value in each person, and partner with them to help them discover new ways of thinking, acting and believing.

I offer unconditional acceptance and support.
Being a highly sensitive person, struggling with self-esteem and feeling overwhelmed can be draining. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety or negative thoughts about yourself and are feeling ready for therapy. Turning to family and friends can be great, but therapy is a place where the focus is all on you. Reaching out for help is courageous and caring towards yourself. To find clarity, it helps to have someone truly listen to you. When you are heard, you find what it is you value and need. Having support in therapy can lead you towards empowerment and confidence.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?

The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?

Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?

A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
