I believe your story is important. The pain, the victories, the traumas, and the triumphs - all of those elements come together in a way that can either devastate us, hold us back, or motivate us to move forward. I want to cheer you on as you move farther than you imagined possible. Whether you feel unmotivated, sad, lethargic, anxious, worried, or lost, we will figure it out together. I treat adults both in person and via telehealth, and as a team, we will work on an individualized plan of care that meets your needs and leads to healing and hope.

Hello, I wish you the best on your wellness journey. I am a mental wellness focused counselor and believe in the mind, body, and spirit connection. As a TF CBT trained and systems trained therapist I use a person centered, solution focused, eclectic approach customized to match the needs of my clients. Everyday life can be challenging at times to say the least, when life throws unexpected circumstances our way it can be difficult to navigate the complex emotions that surface due to past family or relationship dynamics, past or current traumatic events and the depression, anxiety, and mixed emotions that come along with it.

I utilize Matrix Synergetics, integrative work I've created from my extensive training in: Gestalt Therapy, Rubenfeld Synergy, Neural Emotional Technique, Matrix Energetics, Bio-Energetic Medicine and Creating Your Life Coaching.
A shift in your emotions and beliefs can shift your whole life. Feelings, such as depression, despair, anxiety and fear take you out of alignment with functional living and with creating what you want in your life. Our body is in part the product of our habits, beliefs, thoughts and feelings. If you put enough stress on yourself you will create disease. Disease can't live in a body/mind that is present and healthy emotionally. I support you to create body/mind/spirit health on a deep cellular level making the difference, between healing or not healing.

GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME? Much like sedimentary rock forms over time, our early experiences are deposited within us layer upon layer, shaping who we are today. But even once rock is formed, it doesn’t ever stay the same. There are natural forces that are RE-forming it continually. And the same is true for us. So when we’re not aware a formational process is taking place, the events of our lives can sometimes be confusing, uncomfortable, or even downright painful. REformation Coaching helps you embrace naturally occurring experiences and engage with them in a way that allows YOU to determine how they ultimately reshape your life.

You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.

Coaching Therapists
Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Though psychologists also often consider themselves life coaches, these therapists don't focus on treating mental illness. Instead, they help individuals realise their goals in work and in life.
