We would all enjoy an opportunity to make a wish that would quickly solve our problems and improve our lives. Making a wish and having a dream renews hope for living. I believe that therapy is about renewing hope for your life. At Wishing Tree Counseling, I use a client-centered therapeutic approach that incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and canine therapy when working with my clients.

I currently offer both in-person therapy sessions and online distance counseling sessions. Distance counseling can be beneficial for those who have barriers that prevent them from attending in-person office appointments.
It is often difficult to ask for help, but looking for a therapist is a positive first step. If you are ready to begin your journey toward healing, I will provide a nurturing, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment to help you reduce stress, work through painful feelings, manage self-defeating behaviors, and live a happier and more meaningful life.
