Suffering is a universal, human experience, and we try to ameliorate our suffering in the best ways we know how. Despite our best efforts, suffering can remain, and in response, we may fight it harder. We fight because we want to heal and be happy, but it can seem like the more we fight, the more pain we feel. We reach for happiness and healing and it feels like it is always out of reach. I believe that the path to healing, though seemingly counterintuitive, often includes a process of letting go, allowing discomfort, and pouring our energy, time, attention, and resources into meaningful directions.

I base my approach to therapy on exploring your unique life story and how it is impacting your current thoughts, feelings and behavior. My goal as a therapist is to walk beside you on the path to recovery from both the large and small traumas inherent in the human experience. I have found that the greatest success in therapy comes as clients build healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships by identifying and reframing the unhealthy and inaccurate beliefs that lead to behavior.

We all have hard times and getting help when that happens can bring you back to feeling good and functioning well in all the areas of your life. Your feelings are valid! After going through some things, I find I’m more aware of the needs and pitfalls associated with difficult life transitions, effects of trauma, marriage and family relationship difficulties and coping with unexpected things.

For the past 11 years, I have worked with adolescents and their families in residential treatment and outpatient therapy. This time has only deepened my empathy and understanding for individuals that endure very difficult life circumstances. I admire those seek help and healing. A strong relationship is the foundation of therapy. I am especially skilled at building the trust necessary to address complex behavioral and emotional issues. I especially enjoy helping children, adolescents, and their parents create safety in their homes, improve communication, change negative patterns, and believe that they can heal.

I believe that humans are wired for meaning, connection, and belonging. Most of our struggles in life are intimately tied to how we experience our relationships—including with ourselves—and how we find purpose. Through a unique integration of Western and Eastern principles of human thriving, I support individuals and couples seeking emotional, sexual, and spiritual wholeness, as well as deeper healing and intimacy in their relationships with themselves and others. As awareness precedes power, my goal is to help clients increase in self-understanding so they feel empowered to then address personal difficulties on their own terms.

I have seen many clients come in with a huge weight on their shoulders. They need someone to talk to, someone who can validate their experience and someone who can help them see that there is hope. It is such a privilege to sit with clients, hear their stories, strive to understand their pain and show them that relief and healing are possible.

At one time or another we all tend to lose our way. Finding our way back can be difficult. Courage is the ability to do the things we don't enjoy so we can then feel better and accomplish more. Talking about our issues and seeking help is not easy. There is hope and a safe place to share your worries, concerns, and to work on any issues. Finding a compassionate, supportive, therapist who believes in your abilities to overcome your issues with minor adjustments is why I became licensed. Give me a call and lets go to work.

Life is difficult. All of us are faced with stress, pain, loss, and feeling out of control in our lives. Sometimes, even the strongest people you know need a little bit of help to work through life’s more difficult problems. You may be experiencing some of your own life’s challenges and feel you have done all you can to cope, yet find things are not changing or improving. You may not know exactly where to go for help, who the best person would be to talk to, or what to expect from therapy. These are normal questions and concerns. All of us here at New Beginnings Counseling Group want to reassure you…You are in the right place!

I understand that when we meet for the first time you won’t be on your A game. That’s ok. I’m ready to give you and your family the benefit of the doubt and meet you right where you are at. I believe those things you may label as weakness or failure make sense in light of what you have been through. Don’t give up! Growth, change and healing are possible. I’ve experienced them in my own life, and I am privileged to watch them unfold in the lives of others every day.

Every person has value and experiences challenges as part of living. I enjoy working with individuals helping with change and growth in their lives. I am excited to work with people in understanding challenges they face, helping them to work through these challenges in a more productive manner, and using the knowledge and tools I have to benefit their needs. I enjoy using the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Art & Sandtray; as well as Mindfulness techniques. Creating a safe place of trust is priority, a place where the client can open up and address their most sensitive and difficult challenges.
