NO CURRENT OPENINGS "If you never heal from what hurt you, you will bleed on people who didn't cut you." Mental health is just as important as physical health and yet we find often ourselves lacking in self care and emotional attention. Maybe you find yourself lashing out at loved ones, or having difficulties communicating effectively within relationships. Maybe you have inner doubts or shame that you have never been able to share in a safe and supportive setting. Maybe you are sick of constantly feeling depressed or anxious with no apparent cause and with minimal hope of change.

We are born whole with all we need to live the life of our dreams. Our experiences and interactions with others shape our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us often overshadowing our personal truth and purpose. With support, we can uncover our truth, find out purpose, and return our whole selves. Beginning with your first session, we will explore where you are, how you got here, and plan to achieve the life you want. You will leave with renewed hope and strength. Contact me so we can schedule a time for you to begin your journey.

I value interpersonal approaches to psychotherapy, using evidenced-based strategies to target specific symptoms. This means that I pay close attention to the relationship I have with my clients and use techniques that have been tested and found to be effective for resolving mental health issues. I am an active therapist and I will openly share my thoughts and recommendations with you throughout our work together. I also adopt a compassionate, non-judgmental view with clients. Together, we can develop new ways for you to cope and help you to resolve the issues that prompted you to seek care.

I am a licensed psychologist with specialized experience in identifying autism, ADHD, and other developmental concerns across the lifespan while aiding parents in management of challenging behaviors. Therapy services are targeted towards brief skills-based interventions to help reduce undesired behaviors (ie: hitting, tantrums, interrupting) and increase functional coping and skills (ie: deep breathing, emotion identification, response to name). Providing services to underserved and rural communities has also been a focus and passion of my career.

I enjoy working with a variety of individuals who feel motivated to understand themselves better and make changes that will positively impact their lives. I believe it is a powerful and healing process to show up to the emotional pain we experience by walking through it instead of away from it. It's a brave act of self love!

My goal as a counselor is for you to feel comfortable to work through life’s difficulties, no matter how big or small, in a safe environment. Through this process, you can gain new insight and start to change the behavioral patterns that no longer serve you. Though therapy can be difficult, I also believe it has the potential to be wildly rewarding, healing and even fun.

I work with those who are experiencing: anxiety, depression, identity exploration, religious trauma, low self-esteem and confidence struggles, acceptance from self or others, guilt, and/or shame. I am available for in-person (office, community, or out in nature) and/or telehealth sessions.

Let's face it, life is messy! At some point, we all face the unexpected, whether it be the loss of someone important, a relationship, a job, financial struggles, pain and sickness, or any of the other things that come our way, but we certainly may not choose! It is helpful to have someone to talk to and to offer a listening ear and perhaps some different perspectives during those times. I hope to provide those things to my clients, as well as utilizing my experience and training to help others through the tough times. I will meet you where you are at and help you find where you would like to be. 2 Corinthians 1:4

I believe that recovery is a process which requires active, continuous involvement from the client, the therapist, and the entire treatment team. According to this belief, the four stages of recovery are hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and establishing a meaningful role in life. The individual most responsible for a successful treatment outcome is you (the client). With your consistent effort and willingness to engage with your therapist the kind of change you are hoping for can and will occur.

“Our emotions are an essential part of who we are. They make life worthwhile, exciting, challenging, beautiful and meaningful” - Gabor Mate. Our emotional experience is one that is unique to each of us and can at times be difficult to navigate. For many people, it can bring comfort to have someone hold space for them during this process, and I am happy to be that person. I approach counseling from a more humanistic perspective which includes processes such as Emotion Focused, Person Centered, and Narrative Therapy. This means that your lived experience and our counseling relationship will be the foundation of our work together.
