I offer behavior support to children (1-12+ yrs), regardless of disability status, along with their families, teachers, and community members. Are you tired of getting incident reports from school? Struggling to get your child to follow directions? Just need resources for positive guidance? My goal is to help families identify the purpose (function) of the behavior, rank their priorities and goals, identify any skill deficits, and examine environmental variables. Then I can make recommendations regarding interventions and treatment planning that will be a good fit for you. All sessions and consultation are individualized.

There is no such thing as an easy life, regardless of your circumstances there is a certainty to pain, grief, anxiety, and worry. These things overwhelm us and make us blind to the inevitability of happiness, relief, love, and comfort. While overwhelmed, we become rigid in our beliefs, thoughts, and behavior; we become stuck, unable to find connection, to develop alternative solutions, or process events. Living a satisfying, fulfilling life that matches our values is hard, and sometimes requires a bit of help build it.

My focus is within psychodynamic concepts, allowing for us to address life experiences, that can be both defined and understood through metaphor. In therapy, we are solidifying your understanding of what an experience may symbolize for you. I provide therapy to facilitate a deeper understanding of your experience. I view therapy as a medium that can lead to long-lasting change, as a treatment, utilized as an exploration of insight and compassionate engagement, to help you identify what obstacles are getting in the way of your personal and professional growth.

OPEN to New Clients! I specialize in treating a variety of anxiety issues, depression, relationship issues, family systems issues, and individual growth. Additionally, I have experience working with concerning sexual behaviors, desire discrepancy, and communication issues. I’ve had the privilege to work with diverse populations and utilize myriad of therapeutic modalities. I see clients at various points in their journey to self-discovery. Some suffer from anxiety, some with relationship concerns, others struggle with sexual concerns, but at the end of the day you are much more than a diagnosis.

A significant pattern that I notice in the people that I work with is often the feeling that their direction in life has gotten out of control, whether they see it in their relationships with others or themselves, or in the unexpected changes in life that throws their carefully detailed plans in for a whirlwind. It is with the simple step back, deep breath, and space to process these thoughts and feelings that allow for people to make sense of the overwhelm they have experienced for that moment. People have a primal need to feel safe in their environment to be able to express themselves without judgment or harm.

As someone who coached volleyball around the country for years, I have coached and interacted with a variety of children, adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. Through coaching volleyball, I learned that my passion for helping others and coaching could eventually bring about a bigger purpose for me. Helping others to cope with a variety of life’s challenges while also decreasing negative self talk and increasing self love are some of the aspects I enjoy focusing on in session.

I enjoy working with clients from all different walks of life, backgrounds, and experiencing a variety of issues. A large part of therapy is developing a trusting relationship so we can have honest conversations about what is working vs not working in one's life. Change is challenging and I love working with clients that are up to that challenge. Through working collaboratively, I work with clients to make SMART goals to make changes to improve their well-being and/or quality of life.

Life, despite its beautiful moments, can be pretty challenging. The clients I help often experience feelings of being “not good enough,” feeling like a failure, feeling trapped, and not knowing how to handle everything life throws at them. The individuals I support face difficulties at their jobs, in school, within their relationships, or are grappling with pain from the trauma they experienced. I provide a space where clients can look into their thoughts, reflect, and develop practical skills to cope with sadness, anxiety, panic, pressure, or difficult experiences.

I work with high accountability professionals who want something different from therapy. The individuals I work with excel in many facets of life, and also recognize there are issues they need help working through. Often the same issues keep tripping them up, so they show up willing to look within themselves and do the work necessary to make transformative changes. Whether my clients want better work/life balance, are having troubles with self-confidence, need help with their relationships, or are feeling stuck in a meaningless loop, we work together to understand their struggles more deeply and with greater nuance and compassion.

I love to help people grow, heal, change, and become fully alive in themselves and their relationships. My hope in therapy is to create a relationship built on safety, trust, and hope, where people feel accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. When we are struggling in life, feeling stuck, hurt, confused, or alone, we all deserve a place to talk with someone who we know will not judge or shame us, but instead who will walk alongside us and help us create change, finding our hope and strength.
