I hold two fundamental beliefs about all humans; firstly, I believe every individual is infinitely unique. Secondly, I think every person can grow and be better than they are today. I believe my job is to help you find the tools and resources you need to continue growing. My favorite aspect of therapy is that it can be tailored to individuals' authentic thoughts, feelings, experiences, needs, or desires.

I know therapists are expected to start these bio’s off by sharing what they offer prospective clients, along with their viewpoint on therapy. That info is important, but my primary focus is to make sure you understand that it is YOU that really matters. Maya Angelou said "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." I want to help you find your own version of thriving.

Living authentically and creatively sounds good, right? Nurturing quality relationships is important and also difficult. Managing stress in difficult times is confusing and overwhelming. Showing up in your life *how* you want is why we are here. Helping you identify ways the past has shaped your life, the patterns that have emerged and how to implement the change you want is our priority at HTC.

Jungian analytic work understands that life is unpredictable. Everyone struggles at some point in life. Sometimes the accompanying suffering tears at the very fabric of our understanding of ourselves and how we fit in the world. Life no longer makes sense. Life is not the way you thought it would be or should be. Unbidden desires, anxieties or depression come in to interfere with your ability to live the life you want. Others in your life behave in ways that disrupt your peace of mind and ability to live a meaningful life. Issues you thought you had dealt with long ago resurface in the present.

If you are looking for an “out of the box” type of counselor, then I would love to speak with you. Therapy is about meeting you where you are and if that means you need a listening ear as you process something deep, someone to help guide you to the best possible you, or someone who is going to hold you accountable than look no further, because that is exactly what you will get. Therapy is not one size fits all, so I use many different modalities of therapy to help you navigate life’s hills and valleys. I like to bring in my teachings from my Advanced Certified Hypnotherapist training.

I know each person, couple or family that comes to see me has multi-faceted issues in their lives they have been trying to deal with on their own. It can be hard to reach out for help when you feel defeated and have run out of solutions to your own problems. But that is exactly what therapy is for and the right time to start! You are not weak if you have been struggling to cope with trauma, your mental health or change. You are not a failure if your goals haven't been reached or your relationships with others are not what you thought they would be. You just don't know what you need yet, and I would love to help you figure that out.

On the outside you look like you are put together and can do it all, but inside you feel like a imposter and will never be good enough. You constantly come up with a list of all the things that you need to be better at, do better at. You fall last on your list because what happens if everyone else needs are not met? What happens if you are not perceived as having it together. You're exhausted, broken, and sooo OVER IT. That is where I would like to say to you, "you deserve to be loved and cared for too".
