Spotted Rabbit therapists aren’t here to “fix” you. We live for empowering neurodivergents, LGBTQ+ folx, and adults who’ve experienced emotional neglect (trauma) to be their true selves and live a life aligned with their own personal values. We specialize in helping teens and adults relax their nervous systems, better regulate their emotions, and develop healthier relationships with others. We are also experienced in treating related conditions such as anxiety, eating disorders, and dissociative identity disorder (DID). We use trauma informed and culturally sensitive practices and believe in an intuitive eating/HAES approach.

Hi! I have been practicing addiction counseling for over 15 years, working with individuals, young adults and families. I expanded my practice to include mental health for the last 10 years and most recently began focusing on law enforcement/first responders. I work with individuals to determine what their goals are and help them achieve them. Individuals who are serious about their recovery and goals would be a great fit. Only you can change your future!

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived; however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again". Facing pain and brokenness of the deepest kind requires amazing strength and courage! Counseling is a unique opportunity to connect w/ the overwhelming issues that can block one's most earnest efforts to "do it differently this time". I'd consider it an honor to work with you as you come to understand your story--whether anxiety, discouragement, addictions, relationships. I look forward to collaborating with you in this challenging, yet rewarding work, as you move toward freedom from any concern that holds you back.

In helping children, teens, and their families, I employ a combination of compassion, creativity, understanding, and humor with clinically proven treatment methods. During my 15+ years of experience I have found that a good collaborative therapeutic relationship combined with skill-based strategies and techniques results in positive and lasting changes. I typically begin treatment with a thorough assessment and treatment plan. Treatment incorporates both parent and child interventions. I routinely communicate with pediatricians, teachers and school personnel to assist in resolving the issues of children and teens, with parental permission.

We can't change the past, but we can try to understand it. Perhaps more importantly, we can decide how we want to live in the present. What is it that is keeping you from experiencing greater meaning and fulfillment in life?

If you are a woman who is the lower libido partner in your intimate relationship, you're likely stuck on the sexual anxiety hamster wheel. If you’re stuck here, then sex means stress. At least once or twice a week, you feel dread about when the next time might be that your partner will want to have sex because you are rarely in the mood for it. You avoid cuddling, hugging, and kissing your partner out of fear that if you do, they will think you are in the mood. You pull away when your partner tries to hug or kiss you and you look busy or say you are busy to avoid their affection turning into a request for sex. Sounds familiar?

The toughest part about therapy is showing up. To continue to show up for yourself might be even tougher. If therapy were easy, everyone would do it. Taking that first step for yourself, is the most powerful thing that you can do and you should give yourself all the credit for being able to do it.
