In session, I'll incorporate a blend of Trauma Informed Care, Trust Based Relational Interventions, Adlerian, Attachment, Choice and Mindfulness theory, practice, and treatment modalities tailored to best suit your needs.
Sometimes it feels like there are mountains in front of us preventing us from moving forward. These experiences may steal our energy and discourage even the most resilient person. Counseling can help. The majority of my clinical experience is in working with survivors who've experienced multilayered trauma, individuals struggling with complicated and unresolved grief and loss concerns, disenfranchised grief, and individuals dealing with relational and attachment issues. Many of my client's struggle with anxiety and are working through vulnerability difficulties with themselves and others.

NOTE: Currently full, but spots do open up over time. Feel free to inquire. Although my approach to counseling draws from a variety of models and approaches (including EMDR, interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal and attachment theories), all are rooted in the fundamental principles of non-judgmental acceptance, authenticity, and experience. Beyond the exploration of old patterns of beliefs and behaviors, my focus is on helping clients find solutions. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help my clients develop knowledge and tools that will facilitate sustained growth long after therapy has ended.

My experience in working with clients has taught me that I am not the perfect therapist for everyone. I use metaphors and my writing background to help clients view their worlds in a different way. I have trained with EMDR and utilize it with clients to assist in managing trauma. I have worked with clients struggling with addictions of many kinds, and I utilize ACT and narrative therapy on a regular basis.

Life can be overwhelming and we all need a little support sometimes. Work, family, relationships….it can be a lot to handle alone. Having a safe and supportive person to talk to can help ease the burden and assist in gaining a new perspective when there seems to be no way out. It takes a lot of courage to take that first step to seek help, so you can take pride in the fact that you are here now.

In addition to parenting, I also provide marriage and family counseling.

Many women feel overwhelmed and stretched beyond their breaking point, they tell me about yelling at their kids, a bit of over indulging in food or too much wine... to just feel ok. Their lives are packed so full that there is no space left to do anything about anything. They often wonder if anything they do is “good enough”, self doubt and the angry inner critic seems to be in control of them. Worry. Pleasing others. Self doubt. Deep down they are horrified someone might find out, that someone will learn they don’t have all their shit together yet honestly they are dying to have someone know them. Maybe you can relate.

I believe that we thrive when we have balance and harmony in life, however, life is not always easy and we may struggle at times to achieve balance. When we get "stuck" or face difficult challenges, we will identify which areas of life need adjusting or strengthening. Whether it is physical, emotional, spiritual or mental unbalance, we can positively impact our lives by starting to work in one area, and, since they are all connected, the rest will follow. The mind-body connection is undeniable, research and science favor an integrated approach to behavioral health and that's my choice of intervention, a holistic approach.

There are times in life when, for reasons potentially unknown initially, we experience negative events. I believe we have the choice to let these experiences define who we are as a person, or learn what we can and use them to continue our journey. These experiences can leave a person with more questions than answers and a mix of feelings and thoughts. I want to help you move toward a clearer understanding, learning how to handle difficult emotions and challenging times. I believe that you have an amazing capacity to change, grow, and move toward the purpose for which you were created. I view this process as a journey of discovery.

I believe that everyone needs someone who will give them a safe, non-judgmental place to work through problems or stresses. I see the role of a therapist as someone who dives into the deep end of your emotions/problems and helps guide you on how to swim your way out. I will be there if you start to drown to help keep your head above water, but I will also help you develop the skills to get out of the deep end and know how to navigate it should you end up there again.

Adlerian Therapists
How does Adlerian psychology work?
In the framework of Adlerian therapy, people are motivated by a sense of belonging and community, which drives them to surmount feelings of inferiority so as to contribute to their society; fulfilling these desires can help people flourish. Adlerian therapy proceeds in four stages—engagement, assessment, insight, and reorientation—in an overall effort to understand the client’s past and to achieve their present-day humanistic goals.
Is Adlerian therapy humanistic?
Yes, Adlerian psychology is humanistic; it focuses on the whole person, emphasizes their strengths rather than just their symptoms, and centers them in determining how they can grow and flourish. This school of thought informed the work of Abraham Maslow, who went on to develop humanistic psychology.
How long does Adlerian therapy take?
Adlerian therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented form of therapy that takes around 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Of course, some people may be in therapy for a shorter or longer time frame; length depends on the individual and the problem or condition they wish to treat. Clients can ask their therapist about the timeline for treatment before they begin and check in periodically to ensure that they’re on the same page in terms of progress.
Is Adlerian therapy evidence based?
There is not as much evidence to support the effectiveness of Adlerian therapy as there is for other types of therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. But Adlerian therapy may be the right therapy for some people—whether they’re seeking to treat mental disorders or achieve self-growth—especially those looking for a holistic approach that emphasizes relationships, community, self-worth, and purpose.
