Accepting New Clients Making the decision to begin therapy is a hard one. You are choosing to come to a trained specialist in mental health, and regurgitate all of your deepest feelings, emotions, and possibly a traumatic past. Working in mental health for the past 5 years, I have learned that mental health is a part of your personal growth and well being. It's a way to heal mentally, spiritually, and to learn to forgive. Forgiveness and grace may be needed in yourself. You will learn how to be your better and greater self, one day at a time.

I understand that therapy may be a big step for many and emotions may even be a bit scary. That’s why I make it my responsibility to create a safe and trusting, collaborative environment. I want the people that I work with to feel comfortable sharing their stories while also not shying away from exploring the scary parts as well. I like to approach these issues using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). This approach highlights compassion and mindfulness to help individuals accept their emotions without judgment, notice and disengage with unhelpful thoughts, and learn to commit to their values by confronting avoidance.
