In addition, I also like to assist with parenting concerns, and I am LGTBQ+ friendly.
Years ago I grew increasingly aware of how anxiety affects our behaviors that are not representative of who we are. I studied mindfulness interventions that came from Positive Psychology and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. After personal practice and assistance to my clients in group and individual settings we experienced and witnessed decreased stress, improved self-regulation, and a quicker way to access joy, acceptance, and peace with ourselves and others.

I can provide specific evidence-based treatment regarding occurrences of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety, Mood related disorders, Specific Phobias, Psychosis-related disorders, Parenting issues, Identity issues, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (ADHD), and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

How many times have you wondered if it’s really "just anxiety"? Symptoms can look similar at any age. You might feel exhausted for no reason, have a racing mind that keeps you from sleeping, or feel frozen by too many choices. Stress can drain your mental energy, making even simple tasks like doing the dishes feel overwhelming. You might also want to heal from past traumatic experiences that affect your current relationships and parenting style. Financial worries or health problems can add even more challenges to your situation.

Whether it be an angry teen showing resentment toward a parent, or a young couple struggling to find their way together- all people enter wanting a greater sense of peace and connection in their lives.
I have over ten years of experience working with teens and adults under 50. Most of my clients, both male and female, are in some form of transition in their lives. These transitions present themselves as maturation struggles, changing relationships, questioning perspectives, contemplating choices, and finding difficulty with what currently faces them in their lives. These are the times when a trusted assistant is helpful. My clients need to know that they have a safe place, without judgement, to work through their struggles. I provide trust, support, education, and new skills training with each client.

I am not your conventional psychotherapist. My journey into the world of mental health is uniquely shaped by my background as an outdoor journalist and lived experiences of grief, loss, tragedy, and trauma.

As the Sufi poet Rumi once wrote, “The cure for pain is in the pain.”

It's all about you! When it comes to therapy, I focus on your needs in that moment. Client centered AF! My practice emphasizes the whole person, considering the eight dimensions of wellness: emotional (how you feel), environmental (toxic friends), financial (can you afford that Starbucks daily), intellectual, occupational (why are you still in that job you hate), physical (are you eating right, get enough sleep lately), social (hybernate much), and spiritual (who or what you praise is your business). I specialize in supporting women through significant life changes such as breakups, career shift, or parenting. Together we elevate!
