Are you constantly telling yourself, “Be strong!". You are trying to ignore racing thoughts. You seem to start each day more mentally exhausted than the day before, wishing and hoping for something to change. Maybe you lost a loved one, your child, a pet, were told you have a chronic illness/disease, realized that your relationship is in shambles, are haunted by childhood experiences, or the pressures of your life/ job have begun to take their toll. You have thought of therapy but rationalize with yourself that “it isn’t so bad” and that you can keep trying to “fix yourself” only to find yourself circling in a self-blaming pattern.

Various modalities apply to different situations and we would explore motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, or narrative therapy.
All people need empathy, kindness, and a safe place to explore change. The need or desire to explore such change can come from wanting more of something or possibly wanting to alleviate barriers. Either way, we will walk on that journey together at a pace that keeps momentum going through healthy challenges and sustainable strategies. Discovery of your why or why not can be full of twists and turns; using support along the way shows yourself kindness and respect. I welcome questions and feedback to determine if we are a good fit together. You are important and worth that investment to yourself.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I have experience working with a variety of issues. I believe that change happens when an individual experiences the therapeutic relationship as safe and nonjudgmental. This allows individuals to develop a voice and be heard. I support my clients in accessing their innate motivation to change while assisting them in re-evaluating patterns of thought and behavior that inhibit personal growth. I have been trained in therapeutic practices that are shown to be effective in helping clients to reach their personal goals.

What do you love about life? What brings you joy? Why I believe everyone can benefit from therapy is that everyone has gone through a period in their life where it’s hard to answer those questions. Without those answers, it’s hard to keep a positive perspective. I have spent the last decade under the county’s mental health services working with all ages, but especially with parents, young adults, teens, and children. Now in the private sector I am happy to have more freedom to serve you and your family. It’s my passion to partner alongside families and individuals and discover, rekindle, or maintain joy in their life.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists
How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
