I believe in the value of holistic, integrated care with mental health support coming alongside an individual or loved one's support team. The authentic connection created within a therapeutic relationship supports individuals in accessing their inherent strength, wisdom and resilience in order to take natural steps in the direction of healing. I trust in your ability to heal, recover from serious setbacks, challenges and to make meaning in your life.

I help teens and adults like you who want to break destructive cycles and gain control of their feelings, relationships and lives. You've tried to manage your stress and anxiety, but the ways that help others don't work (or last) for you. You often feel misunderstood and different from others, while hiding how much you are struggling, Sometimes, this burying of stress and feelings can cause you to hit a breaking point. You are highly sensitive to others feelings, that it seems easier to help others than yourself. You don't want to burden others with your problems or know they can't understand. But you still want to get help, too.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some are in crisis, others are at a turning point in their lives, many want to understand and change longstanding patterns that are self-defeating or unsatisfying. I've been in practice for 38 years, and I continue to be deeply curious and interested in people. I'm glad to have the opportunity to assist my clients on their journeys towards more balanced and meaningful lives. I have a general therapy practice, and I've been specializing in the treatment of eating disorders since 1993. I moved to Boone and opened a part time practice here in September 2016.

**CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I work with with students, adults, couples, and families looking to change the things that aren't working by identifying the patterns that are creating problems in your life. I believe we all possess the ability to change our circumstances. But life happens and sometimes we can get so tangled up in our circumstances that we can't find the way out and need a little extra guidance.

I believe we have the innate ability to heal our selves. We all have times when we feel separate, disconnected and unworthy. This can cause stress, frustration, anger, vulnerability, isolation, confusion, and being overwhelmed by life. We often need a light at the end of the tunnel to navigate through the confusion and gain perspective. My role is a guide on this personal journey to assist with that perspective and gain self acceptance. My work is an integration of my background in yoga, Buddhist practices and somatic movement that I call "Integrative Yoga Counseling".

**NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME - Working as a licensed counselor for over 30 years has tenderized my heart towards those who want to get "unstuck" from patterns and places we all can find ourselves in. Though I specialize in trauma work and family systems, I work with clients who have anxiety issues, depression, abuse, addictions, sexual trauma, disturbing life events, self concept and life change adjustments. I love what I do and am passionate about walking with people through their pain, shame and fear to a place of hope.

My goal is to work in ways that help you access your own courage, determination, resilience and strength - and move towards creating what you want for yourself and your family.

I enjoy working with teenagers and children who are struggling with their emotions, stress, or a past trauma. I am open with my clients and provide a non-judgmental and safe space that people have found easy to relate with.

Sometimes we can feel as if on a mountaintop with a sense of clarity and other times in a valley unable to see the next step. Life is a journey with experiences and seasons where we can all use some help along the way. Whether it be marriage, dating, work, friendships, or family dynamics, relationships can be complex. Through life's complexities we can learn and grow. I believe everyone deserves to experience joy and live an abundant life. By living authentically to ourselves and others we can become the best version of ourselves. My desire is to meet you where you are and collaboratively work with you to reach your full potential.

I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of life-challenges, including childhood trauma, sexual abuse, grief & loss, and LBTGQIA issues. I also have a passion for perinatal mental health and enjoy working with new mothers and parents who may face any number of obstacles in new parenthood, including postpartum depression and anxiety.

On leave through Oct 2024 and am unable to respond to inquires. Every season of life brings its own unique challenges. Sometimes it may feel like your past is haunting you, the fear of the future may make it difficult to remain present or maybe relational issues are adding stress to your life. Whatever the concern, it can be difficult to carry anxiety, depression, grief, stress or trauma, while also trying to show up and function in everyday life. I aim to provide support, coping skills, a space to be free to not be okay as we move towards what you are hoping for your future. I am able to offer faith based support as desired.

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families to develop an understanding of ourselves and how we are influenced by events, relationships, and expectations. With this knowledge, we can explore past experiences and current stressors to identify how they impact us directly. Together, we can develop an understanding of life that provides opportunities for change and growth.

As a therapist, I utilize a variety of techniques to help individuals, couples, and families work though a variety of concerns including religious trauma, attachment concerns, substance use, and shifts in identity. I draw from dialectical behavioral therapy techniques, through feminist therapy to assist clients in treatment. Change is hard and I provide a safe space to make that change with compassion and accountability.

Finding the right therapist for you is a primary factor in whether or not your therapy will be successful. I believe in creating a relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere where people feel safe to explore painful feelings and negative thoughts/behaviors. My approach includes a balance of support and challenge. My goal is to bring warmth, humor, and an interactive style to our sessions. I do not believe in "one size fits all," and therefore, I strive to create an experience that is unique to you based on your individual needs and goals for therapy. My work is grounded in current research/education on mental health and well-being.

Life can be challenging for all of us. Stress, anxiety, and depression in these times are common, and you are not alone. Maybe you are looking for happiness, peace, and stability, but don't know where to start. Or maybe you just want to have a safe space to explore who you really are at your core, and find the sources of meaning and purpose in your life. All humans have an amazing ability to grow and change, and sometimes our struggles are just here to give us a push forward into new horizons. As a therapist, I see myself as someone who helps to facilitate that growth in others.

I believe it is my job to collaborate with my clients to create a Narrative that feels authentic and attuned their passions, identities, and values. We often get lost in what we feel like we should or can't do, which confines us in little boxes that make it hard for us to feel vibrant and celebrate our uniqueness. I believe that when we explore and deconstruct the social constructions and dominant discourses in our social-cultural location and biases that don't align with our personal experiences or beliefs we have the autonomy and freedom to get in touch with our most core self and better understand how we interact with our world.
