My mission is to make therapy fun and interactive. Therapy can be a daunting prospect for many people, and I aim to make it as productive and painless as possible. I don't necessarily have an ideal client, just an ideal match. If the client feels connected and hopeful, change and progress can occur. I utilize several modalities, each one catered to the specific client, while at the same time incorporating family work to better support the individual. I myself am ADHD and can relate to children and adults who struggle academically and socially, incorporating a holistic approach to the therapeutic relationship.

At Bright View Counseling we are breaking the traditional mold of talk therapy and counseling and bringing a new, brighter idea of what therapy could and should look like with our ‘Therapy With A Twist!’ approach. Our therapy approach is holistic, humanistic, and person-focused. We bring the power of the natural world into the therapeutic process. We take walks outside, participate in outdoor activities with clients, and integrate activities and games. We also get a helping paw from our office dog, Charlotte, who comes into sessions to provide a furry friend to hug, pet, and receive emotional support from.

Life can be stressful. The demands we, as well as others, place upon us can steal our peace and happiness and leave us feeling overwhelmed. Often, we struggle to achieve some sense of balance while simultaneously feeling confused and discouraged. Anxiety, depression and trauma can affect every aspect of our lives – relationships, family life, work, schooling, even self-care and physical well-being. Therapy offers a time away from daily life and provides a comfortable place to reflect and regain a healthy perspective for living life fully.
