I became a therapist because I have learned to thrive, in spite of life's obstacles. Through my journey I discovered my passion for helping others and chose to become a therapist. In my practice I work with both men and women.

Counseling is a process where you and I as a therapist co-operate to discover the things that have kept you from living, and being the person you want. In order to help, I need to know about your situation and life in general. It is important that you be willing to talk about your thoughts and feelings etc. This takes tremendous courage. As we discuss your needs, my job is to help you find the patterns, themes, contradictions, or things that are undiscovered within you and discover ways to increase your growth and happiness.

I evaluate children, teens, & adults with questions of ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and related emotional dysregulation and problems in functioning. Families can experience major frustration in finding interventions that are individualized to people’s unique needs: going through years of therapy and not feeling any better; getting conflicting feedback from other clinicians; having several diagnoses that don’t seem to align with what you’re going through; treatments that don’t seem to get you to your goals. Having a clear diagnosis is key in establishing a treatment plan and supporting interventions that are a good fit.

Connection isn't the antidote to everything, but it can do wonders. Having a felt sense of connection with others and ourselves is often missing or underrated in our lives. As human beings, we need to feel seen, heard, and understood. Without these essential nutrients we are bound to seek fulfillment or satiation from things outside ourselves, that feel good in the moment but don’t actually meet our needs. I want to help my clients figure out what is getting in the way of having their needs met and how to approach their lives with authenticity and a broader sense of self.

I love working with all ages, ethnicities, cultures, and diversity. I have focused primarily work with teens and youth, but enjoy everyone. Therapy is a space for individuals to find their own story, the hidden pieces of themselves, and develop understanding. As long as clients come with the intention of healing, growth, and understanding, I'd love to be one to help.

I love helping a person become their best version of themselves. Most people seeking counseling feel defeated. My strategies help them find hope and to develop new approaches to help them become powerful people with tangible skills to overcome the challenges in their lives so they can have joy and fulfillment. Ideally a client is ready to try new approaches to their life, to accept responsiblity for the consequences of their current behaviors, and is willing to risk failing, as each success is usually preceded by a few failed attempts.

I am currently only accepting new clients for equine-assisted therapy. I specialize in helping clients who struggle with codependency, anxiety and trauma. I also love helping people learn to set boundaries and communicate more effectively. The clients who fit best with me are people who have struggled with feelings of guilt for taking care of themselves and who don't know where to start when it comes to setting boundaries. I also work well with clients who are ready to start processing, healing and resolving trauma both large and small, and treating themselves with more compassion.

Thanks for checking me out. I applaud your efforts to find help whether it's for you or someone you love. Finding someone to work with can be a challenge and I urge you to be picky. Ask questions. There are a lot of us to choose from. If you're not experiencing a therapeutic alliance, keep looking. Your person(s) is out there, Should we meet, evaluating 'helpfulness' is an open and ongoing conversation. My hope is that we would figure out your goals, ways to know if they are being achieved and the best, and most effective, ways to do that. I'm not one to ask, "and how does that make you feel?" Not often, anyway. Ha!
