At times we all find ourselves in situations that we think no one else will understand. It’s easy to self-sabotage and self-criticize when you have no one to talk to. We often find ourselves putting up barriers instead of boundaries and unintentionally blocking those that want to help us. Therapy allows us to self-reflect, feel empowered, and increase our happiness.

So many of us struggle with feeling like we are "Not Enough". It's a constant battle to face each day with a smile, pretending everything is okay when deep down we are falling apart. Sometimes all we need is someone to truly listen, someone to guide us, someone to understand and support us through the darkest of times. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to feel successful, loved, and capable. By harnessing your personal strengths and breaking down negative thought patterns, I aim to equip you with the tools and skills necessary to thrive.

Although I have a wait list for new clients, I have some great clinicians that I am providing direct clinical supervision to at Mountain Valley Counseling that are accepting new clients. Contact me and I can tell you about our staff and help get you scheduled with one of my supervisees. At MVC, we are person-centered in our approach, and fundamentally believe in depth psychology methods. We want to help people beyond basic symptom reduction, which research shows, provides more lasting change. Oftentimes the issue someone presents to therapy with is a symptom of deeper difficulties or traumas. We also offer Ketamine therapy.

I believe we all experience events throughout our lives that not only aid us in creating a unique perspective through which we see the world, but that can also impact our quality of life. We’ll take the experiences that you have had, lay them out, see where you are feeling hindered or where you want to expand. Then we build new structures that allow you to process what holds you back. My methodology is influenced by my belief that identifying our limitations, recognizing our patterns allows us to practice authentic self-care which moves you forward towards your goals.

Hello and welcome! I am deeply committed to creating a gentle, compassionate space for individuals who have endured complex trauma, C-PTSD, childhood/adolescent trauma, abuse, and neglect and are struggling with self-worth, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Your “negative” or painful emotions are valid and may be a response to unprocessed traumatic experiences. You’ve been in survival mode for years and realized at some point you’d like to feel differently about yourself and your life. Together, we can find enough relief, insight, awareness, and empowerment to untangle yourself from trauma and begin living your life on purpose.

Life is puzzling in both its perplexity and in that it resembles one. Where we attempt to find the edge pieces for some kind of outline/guide, discover which pieces fit together, constantly looking at the bigger picture, realizing it’s going to take some time to complete, and having someone join in can be helpful and/or fun. I do so in order to simplify a section of their life puzzle piece as they are attempting to find where it goes and how it fits in the bigger picture. That might include trauma focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, solution focused therapy, and learned self-compassion.

I believe that each client is an expert in their own life thus therapeutic work should be collaborative. I take a motivational, strengths-based approach with the belief that eventually the pain will subside and we get to decide what will take its place. Therapy can be uncomfortable but it should be embraced as we make changes for growth, find value through the difficult experiences, and peace in collaboration. I understand therapy can be difficult to step into my goal is to just help you feel it was worth it!

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are -Carl Yung. Becoming the version of ourselves that is truly free, a version that is unconditionally self-accepting and self-loving, is what I see as the purpose of therapy. Through my own personal healing journey I've realized that the pain that we carry around is our responsibility and we alone hold the keys to free ourselves from our self-imposed prisons. It can be a terrifying process to face the aspects of ourselves that we've avoided but there is nothing more rewarding or worthwhile. I will meet you where you're at to help you free yourself and become who you truly are.
