We all struggle from time to time with areas of our lives that can seem overwhelming or out of control. A collaborative relationship between a caring therapist and client can ease and minimize the stresses that arise from these times. I work with clients to discover and understand the inner parts of ourselves that need attention and healing during these times.Helping clients connect with their own sense of self and build on that strength is both rewarding and enlightening as we travel the journey of healing and rebuilding together.My client centered therapy is geared towards the respect, comfort and safety of the individual.

Taking that first step towards change can often feel very daunting and requires a great deal of strength and courage. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you have sought therapy before, my primary goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable talking about difficult experiences and to begin creating the changes you want to make for yourself.

Currently accepting new clients. Choosing a therapist is very personal decision. It can be about basics such as location and insurances accepted. But it also is about having a supportive therapist that is committed to help you through whatever challenges you face. It can be difficult to make the decision to enter into therapy. I do my best to make it a supportive and comfortable place that is nonjudgmental. I also offer canine assisted therapy upon request.

Are you just so tired of it all that you want to give up? Are you feeling trapped and alone and as though not a single person gets it?

You really are worth the effort. Do something kind for yourself , for you this time. Join me in a safe, non-judgmental, warm, and empathic atmosphere conducive to growth and change from within.

Currently on a waitlist for new clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you find it challenging to communicate your thoughts and feelings to your significant other, friends, family or co-workers? Perhaps you feel like you have the baseline skills to cope but are finding it challenging to find any relief from symptoms of anxiety, trauma or running thoughts that impede in your daily functioning. Maybe you suspect you may be experiencing symptoms of trauma but are unsure where to even start to begin feeling better, or feel triggered often.

I believe that everyone's journey in life is a personal one and that we all have unique strengths. There are also times in our lives that present us with challenges when we may feel overwhelmed, sad and/or anxious. It is often difficult to identify one specific reason for these feelings. During these more challenging times we may struggle to access our strengths. Psychotherapy can be a helpful way to understand the challenges you are experiencing.

I want to be part of your healing story. I believe that two people working together are stronger than one. I believe that most of our suffering comes from the pain around separation and disconnection and that healing and empowerment is best experienced and guided within a relational framework. I believe that the traditional or Western medical model for healing is outdated and limited and so I embrace a holistic or integrative approach to mental health. I believe that healing takes place beyond intellectual processing and that we need to integrate healing into somatic or body based processes and rewriting personal narrative.

I have had the privilege to work with many wonderful people since I came into this field in 2008, and what I have learned is that the most important thing in counseling is the relationship. To me you are a whole person and I will always treat you that way. I will go out of my way to let you know that I do care about you, about the way you feel and what your own personal goals are. I will do my best to make sure you feel comfortable and look forward to coming to your appointments.
