Life can knock us off of our feet at times. Relationships can be hard and confusing to navigate. A late-in-life diagnosis of Autism can trigger an identity crisis. Whether it be from past familial trauma, current familial issues, work burnout, chronic diagnoses or terminal illness, issues within the relationship, the struggles of parenting (especially special needs children), traumatic birth experiences, or life transitions, I am here to help you navigate through all of this and more.

When asked about myself or why I chose to become a therapist, I often struggle to put it into words. While I do mention my passion for helping others and my ability to listen well, these sentiments only scratch the surface. For me, the decision to pursue this career runs much deeper. I believe there is no greater reward than helping to guide someone on their journey to becoming their true self. This conviction is rooted in my belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to flourish and find fulfillment.

Accepting new clients! If you could live without judgment, what would that look like? It might be a hard question to answer! If you're LGBTQIA2S+, maybe you could show up authentically and stay safe. The intrusive questions you get about being aromantic or asexual don't bother you as much anymore, & you embrace that part of yourself as a natural part of yourself. If you've experienced trauma, the things from the past don't hurt as much & you can look to your future with hope instead of dread. All of these aren't far-off dreams. They're possible! Sometimes, we just need a little extra help to get us there.

Life is so fast paced with so many paths, which can cause a person to feel stuck. It is easy to feel like one is far behind or should be at a certain milestone in their life. One thing I always tell my clients is to meet themselves where they are at. A simple phrase that takes awhile to fully understand what that is and how to get there. By meeting ourselves where we are at, we can examine what we truly want and begin to trust ourselves. As the journey begins, I will be side by side my clients. I may have the book smart, but they are the expert of themselves.

I enjoy working with children and adults, meeting with individuals, couples and families. Prior to joining the team at Synergy Counseling Center, I worked for a Community Health Center and an Indian Health Services Center in Alaska working across the lifespan. I approach therapy from an attachment-focused lens and believe we find healing through an integrated, wholistic approach to therapy.

I believe in a confidential, non-judgmental, relationship-centered counseling environment where individuals, families, and couples can openly and safely discuss their thoughts and feelings. Each client is treated with respect and supported to gain greater self-understanding and self-awareness. The client is at the center of therapy and determines the direction of therapy. I present different perspectives and ideas and help the client identify and develop their own ways to resolve blocks to personal growth and to improve communication and the relationships in their lives.

My primary goal for therapy is to make each client feel safe to share their life story in order to begin healing. I view the therapeutic process as a joint effort in which I collaborate with my client to find the best approach to resolve any current struggles.

I am here for you, to walk alongside you through this journey. Life is hard. We aren't meant to do it alone. Sometimes we just need a third party individual who we can talk to, who isn't emotionally invested in everything we say or do, to listen, and help us navigate through the difficulties of life.

Life is full of transitions. Changes in employment, relationship status, becoming a parent, the illness or death of a loved one, relocating or developing a health condition are some of the most challenging life transitions. Without adequate emotional support and healthy coping skills, the extra stress can lead to more serious physical or mental health problems. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and relationship conflicts can appear or worsen as a result of not having knowledge of how to effectively cope with life changes. I educate and support my clients as we work to eliminate negative symptoms and develop a brighter future.

Life can present us with many unwanted and unexpected situations. Sometimes, it can be a traumatic situation, or maybe you are dealing with a child who has become withdrawn, not speaking, and is not socializing with the family. Perhaps you have some past trauma that has not been fully explored or resolved, or anxiety about the future. Whatever the circumstances, counseling may be able to help. I have worked with clients of all ages and with many different issues, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD as well as with patients experiencing past and current trauma.

Many of my clients enter therapy to address the feeling of groundlessness that can occur when things fall apart. It may be an episode of significant depression or anxiety, unresolved trauma, a life changing loss such as divorce or death, or a crisis of awakening and challenging previously held understandings of the self in the world. There are many paths that take us into therapy, and I walk that path with my clients to develop a better understanding and integration to adapt to life when we find ourselves at these challenging points.

Are you struggling to maintain your emotional health due to a specific life situation, unhealthy lifestyle or medical health issue? This is not uncommon, and the fact is you are not alone. Many people have the desire to make a positive change; however lack knowledge, guidance, or the tools needed to do so. Others may require motivation for behavior change or support in a challenging season. Regardless of your particular circumstance and needs, we can work together to make your goals a reality. I provide therapy and psychological evaluations/testing. Non denominational Christian Counseling based on the Bible is offered as requested.
