We all face difficult times in life and sometimes cannot even pinpoint the source of the pain. Therapy is an incredible way to face what hurts but also an amazing opportunity to grow into our best selves. I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety/depression, past-trauma, divorce/separation, toxic relationships and negative seIf-talk/faulty thinking. You may not feel like yourself lately, or are struggling to even know who you are or what you want out of life. Allow me to listen, walk beside you, and help you set and achieve your personal goals. Note: I am a telehealth only therapist.

I utilize Motivational Interviewing with a Humanistic/Existential approach as a foundation to my therapy. Which means understanding that a "whole" person is more than the sum of his or her parts. I understand people by examining their interpersonal relationships. That people have many levels of self-awareness, that can be neither ignored nor put into an abstract context. I also believe individuals have free will and are participants rather than observers in their own lives; and that people's lives have purpose, value and meaning. I choose to submerge myself into the world of the person; I am working with.

In the journey of life, challenges and obstacles will arise which can leave one feeling unbalanced and emotionally depleted. These feelings can make you feel like your self-esteem has taken a hit and leave you feeling unworthy of love and belonging. I feel everyone has the potential to find balance and healing in rewriting their own future story. My goal in working with you would be to provide a safe place to explore and effectively express emotions, set goals to increase quality of life and improve communication skills while rebuilding your self-worth and self-esteem.

Hi! I'm Tabatha. I'm going to be real with you, I am an odd duck. I don't say that in a self-deprecating way. I feel like sometimes what others need from therapy is not only someone who can be serious, but can be silly when you need a good laugh in-between all the trauma talk and hard times. I choose my practice name of Mountains and Molehills not only to have a little fun with it, but to also share that no matter the problem, big or small, it matters. I currently tend to work with clients ages from 18 years and older who suffer from Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorders, PTSD, and life transitions.

My approach is based in relational connection and authenticity. I believe that each client is unique, so I am creative and individualized in my work to prioritize your safety, insight, and overall growth. I firmly believe that pursuing therapy does not mean something is “broken”; instead, therapy is an opportunity to seek clarity, support, and a space to put the things that you no longer wish to hold on your own. If you are seeking empowerment, investing in your ability to self-advocate, and motivated to explore the origin of unhealthy patterns and experiences, I may be a good fit for you.

Talk therapy is great, but what many of the people I work with have missed in past therapy experiences is how to implement what they have learned about themselves into their real life. Self-regulation is key and after establishing a solid foundation using skills training for increasing distress tolerance and emotion regulation, I work with people to get at the root of the problems they are experiencing by using EMDR therapy and other interventions that address the core stuff, which is often the stuff that has kept us stuck in patterns that hurt. From there, we can work on improving your relationships and personal development.
