I work with clients to guide them on their path by helping them to build self-awareness into how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors have impacted their lives. I believe that one of the most important parts of therapy is to develop insight and awareness into our inner selves, and only then can we start to effect changes in our lives. I also strongly believe that building self-compassion and self-acceptance is important in therapy, as the relationship we have with ourselves can greatly impact how we show up in other relationships in our lives.

On the outside you look like you've got it completely together, but inside you're struggling. Perhaps you are self-critical, disconnected from others, or stuck in a job that is not the right fit. Or maybe you are enduring a painful dynamic in your relationship with your romantic partner, parent, child, friend, or co-worker. If any of these resonate, self-exploration can help you discover the root cause of your shame, loneliness, disconnection, existential angst, and stagnation. With help, you can cultivate a kinder relationship with yourself, deeper connections with others, and a more meaningful life at work and beyond.

If you are looking for a therapist who is present, genuine, and offers a caring and therapeutic space, then we might be a match. I love working with clients who are brand new to therapy and might feel a bit nervous. And clients who have been in therapy previously and may already know what they want out of the experience. Wherever you are on your journey, my mission is to meet you right where you are and walk alongside you to achieve the goals and dreams you have, or perhaps work to develop them altogether. I am also trained in Brainspotting which can be especially powerful for clients with a history of trauma.

Through personal experience during my time in the military as well as occupational experience working within the chemical dependency field I have seen first hand the curveballs that life can throw at us sometimes. But the beauty is that you don’t have to walk through these experiences alone. Some of the biggest signs of true strength come from embracing our vulnerability and reaching out to ask for help. I embrace empathy, curiosity and humor when working with clients. I work with adolescents (15+) and adults. My areas of interest include working with individuals struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Deciding to change takes courage. Starting therapy takes courage. Many only call a therapist when they have tried everything they know to do. Others are tired of reaching the same crossroads time and again - whether in our personal lives (with issues such as anxiety, depression, fear), in our relationships (communication, intimacy, etc.), or a past experience that keeps one from living the full life once imagined. Whatever brings you to therapy, Conscious Healing Counseling is happy to discuss the many options available to you and how we can be most helpful.

I base my practice on accessible tools that are practical for your real life. Therapy doesn't work unless the tools and work provided work for your everyday. I work hard to meet all clients and families where they're at - which often means sampling from the very best of a variety of approaches.

Are you facing a challenge threatening to steal your joy and peace? You may be constantly disappointed in yourself, feel guilty or overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, procrastinate, can't sleep or constantly feel fatigued. Maybe you’re a couple rehearsing the same argument over and over, a person who's often disappointed in their relationships or someone who went through a stressful, traumatic or tragic event making life too difficult. Maybe it's hard helping your child who's often tearful, worried or sad, frequently has melt-downs, trouble getting along with others or lying?

Tired of feeling stuck? You've had it with depression and anxiety taking you away from being present. If thinking could rid you of it you would have been freed long ago because you are insightful. It is time to identify the root issues, confront the pain and fear from the past so you can move forward. It is time to live out your values with integrity and have meaningful connections with yourself, your loved ones and your community.
