One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. You don't have to be anxious or angry all the time. I want you to be free of emotional pain and deal with life on your terms. You can find purpose in how you show up in the world. I want to help you craft a new chapter in your unique story. I employ integrative, person-centered, evidence-based approaches that empower you and promote your mind-body healing. We may walk in my forest or sit on the couch, but wherever we share space, we are working together, one day closer to the mind-body healing I know you can find.

I believe that healing that takes place with another person present is sacred. I enjoy working with clients at any stage of the healing process, from just starting their journey to feeling confident in their abilities. We will create a safe, supportive environment for you to explore yourself and become the best possible you through listening, education, and creative counseling techniques that are NOT Freud's psychotherapy. I love it when clients bring in questions, ask for homework, and commit to the process of counseling. At the same time, I have worked successfully with numerous clients who weren't so sure about going on their journey yet. If motivation is lacking, I like to provide a sounding board for clients who want to be inspired and empowered to decide what's right for them. I regularly ask my clients to get their hands dirty so that in the future, you will have the tools and coping skills you need to embrace your life. Much of counseling is a "choose your own ending" adventure novel, and when you are up for those twists, I'll be right beside you so you do not have to walk through the dark alone.

My new practice is now open! While Sonder Counseling & Wellness is a new practice, I am definitely not new to helping others as a LCMHC and a High School Counselor. I know finding support can be hard - from deciding you want to open yourself up to and trusting someone else to be a part of that process to realizing there is something you are struggling with. Sometimes the struggle is even finding a therapist who has availability (which can be discouraging in itself, I know!). But realize every step is one in the direction to you being a happier you, and you’re worth the time and energy it takes!

Take the time to invest in yourself through therapy. For well over a decade, I have been honored to work with people from all walks of life. I have found that growth comes when we slow down and invest time in exploring our own beliefs, relationships, and behaviors. Sometimes we need a guide to help make sense of that process: a therapist. For over a decade I have honed my skills in working with grief, trauma, life transitions, mood disorders, anxiety, disordered eating, obesity, caregiver stress, women's issues, and more. While I am trained and certified in various modalities, treatment is tailored to each patient's goals

You know how to make it happen – you work hard, you show up for the people you care about, and you do your best to never let anyone down. On the surface, it seems like your life is going great. On the inside, you squirm with fears that you're not doing enough, not good enough, and that it's only a matter of time before everyone else sees it too. You feel disconnected, exhausted, overwhelmed, and anxious. You want to be authentic and present with those in your life but you struggle to turn off the anxiety and tune into your relationships.

In fact 1 in 6 people are neurodivergent and we really do learn and think differently and need a different approach to therapy. Clients come to me when they are interested in working with their brains and not against them. My approach is playful, pragmatic and immediately helpful.

You keep thinking that one day it will be better. One day your grief won't be so hard. One day you'll stop calling yourself such awful names that you'd never dream of saying to anyone else. One day your anxiety won't make anything and everything harder. One day you might discover who you want to be when you grow up. Here's the thing: time doesn't heal all wounds. It's what we do with that time. Aren't you ready for something different? What healing and change looks like is different for everyone. Why not see what it could look like for you? (Please note that as of 1/1/24 I am not able to see clients who have Medicare.)

Strength-Based Therapists
How does strength-based therapy work?
During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.
Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?
Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.
How long does strength-based therapy last?
There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.
How effective is strength-based therapy?
Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
