Constant stress, anxiety, and emotional pain are hard. Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, constant worry, and a sense of dread. You may have restlessness or racing thoughts, and find yourself worrying about what is coming next. You're not alone in having these types of challenges and with counseling we can work on understanding why the symptoms happen and healing from the root of the problem. I believe that we all have the innate ability to heal. We can work together to overcome the emotional impact of past experiences, allowing you to move forward with a greater sense of resilience and well-being.

I employ an eclectic approach with a strong reliance on dialectical-behavioral therapy.
I offer therapy services for individuals ages 1-25. I love to walk with a client and grow together. I like to set obtainable goals that we can meet as a team. I work well with people who do not know what they want out of therapy as well. Therapy is really scary if you've never been, so i'm here to help work through that. I like to add humor and sarcasm to sessions when it fits, so fair warning. I work with all types of clients and will continue to do so. The session is led by you so if you want to learn skills, be completely serious, have fun while still working, that is all doable - though I will ask what you want to work on. :)

My modality influences include: Relational, Narrative, Psychodynamic, DBT, Multicultural, Person-Centered.
Have you diligently worked to create a life that thrives, but still feel stuck by childhood or continuing harm? Is your past contributing to anxiety or depression in your current life? Often the coping strategies we form in childhood survive past their "effectiveness date," creating an invisible force that holds us back from thriving. In session, we will create a space for you to explore past, present, and hopes for the future. We will hold both harm and healing, as we create a framework for developing skills and a making adjustments that bring a freedom to thrive. Together we will forge a path that accounts for the beauty and harm.

My training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), Internal Family Systems and DBT may be helpful.

Using evidenced-based treatments, I strive to be a light in the lives of my clients and provide them with insights and tools that will help them to accomplish their goals. While the specific therapeutic approaches are important, the unique relationship between client and counselor is a major factor in the healing process. It is important to counsel the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.

For example, CBT and DBT techniques help people work through areas where they feel stuck, while learning new skills to cope with almost any situation.
Sometimes life becomes overwhelming, and that can lead to feeling lost and alone. It can be difficult to know where to turn, and how to find the right help. I often work with people who are facing depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You might be experiencing sadness, discouragement, or anxiety that interferes with your everyday life. While each person has their own journey to go through, you are certainly not alone, and you don’t have to feel this way forever. With therapy you can begin to climb out of isolation and start feeling like yourself again.
