Life can be difficult with the many challenges we face. Each person is unique and a trial for one may be easy, yet for another, difficult. We all have different perceptions, understandings, communication patterns, and disappointments in life. It can be helpful to seek assistance in navigating the rough storms of life. Whether you are an adult, child, or teen experiences symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, parenting problems or couple or family difficulties. I look forward to working with you by assisting and supporting you through the challenges you are facing in life past or present.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental place for all of us to be real. In a world filled with perfect images and expectations, it's easy to lose sight of who we actually are and where we want to be. Life is filled with ups and downs. It's a privilege helping people navigate through the journey in a compassionate way. I enjoy working with clients aged 14-100 who need help with self-esteem, boundaries, anxiety or couple dysfunction. Now offering Friday appointments.

Do you have concerns you feel powerless to overcome, feel overwhelmed by how much you need to accomplished daily, or get bored with the monotony of the day to day grind? Do you lack confidence in your performance or just unsatisfied with your current situation? I am here to help!

Holistically-minded, future-focused, out-of-the-box solutions for every concern and situation. I enjoy working with clients who seek change and a future full of possibilities, despite past situations. Clients I work with often need help improving their self-esteem, navigating the intricacies of interpersonal communication, and working through blueprints of the past that are negatively impacting them in the present, working together to build a new future. I often function as a sounding board with the ability to see situations from a different perspective, while offering problem solving, guidance and unconditional regard.

Therapy is a healing journey. My role in that process is to work collaboratively with you to identify struggles and issues, and agree upon a therapeutic approach to help create hope and achieve goals that will bring about positive life changes, such as emotional healing, resiliency, improved mood, increased self-esteem, personal insight and growth, increased self-determination, effective coping skills, improved interpersonal relationships, and an increased sense of empowerment. The Certificate in Human Rights I have from BSU adds to my ability to connect with people from a multicultural perspective and with cultural competence.

(Wait-list for new clients as of 11/1/2023) People seek therapy for many reasons, but most people have one common goal: change. They want a change in how they feel, think, behave or in how they are treated. They want to be truly heard, understood and validated by someone who won't judge or criticize them. They want to heal from their past and feel hopeful about their future. This is exactly what I strive to provide to every client. I’ve helped clients with various presenting concerns including: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, relationship and family issues, panic attacks, grief, self-harm, stress and more.

Accepting new clients. ‘How did I get here’. ‘How do I get out,’ are common thoughts we all have. We learn to survive and do the best in the worlds we have grown up in; and sometimes we find ourselves going round and round in a strange sort of ‘uncomfortable comfort’ or ‘functional dysfunction’ of our lives. I strive to see the world through your lens and understand your unique family, cultural, and identity experiences. In every individual exists a craving to embody a life unburdened by excessive guilt and shame, while having the freedom to enjoy a more meaningful and joyful human experience.

***I am currently only accepting telehealth clients*** I am passionate about helping people see their true potential. Many times, life changes, family issues, mental illness, and negative thinking get in the way of seeing who we truly are. I am committed to working with individuals, couples, and families through their journey; getting back to a healthy place through Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I believe that compassion, understanding, and trust are important in the therapeutic process. Therapy is provided in a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental and supportive therapeutic environment.

My approach to therapy is a strong belief in the resiliency of the human spirit. I feel my client is the expert on who he/she is and my role is to facilitate greater learning and growth in a collaborative way through the therapeutic relationship. I have almost 20 years in the field and utilize various modalities to assist my client in his/her journey toward growth and healing. I work with individuals--children, teens, and adults--struggling with life adjustments, family issues, past trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. I have experience working with First Responders.

Therapy can help anyone. We all have seasons where we feel stuck, and a safe professional can offer you paths of growth and healing that may not seem obvious given the circumstances. I believe everyone has the capacity to make changes in their life for the better. Some common needs that are addressed in counseling include: improving emotional regulation, alleviating symptoms of anger, depression, trauma, and anxiety. Importantly, counseling can offer a space for improving relationships, developing healthy family boundaries, and rebuilding the ability to trust. If you feel like you are on a hamster wheel, you are in the right place!

In my 40 plus years as a mental health care provider, I have found that regardless of how skilled a clinician I may be, I am only effective when I have successfully developed a working relationship with my clients. This relationship is key to addressing issues, providing encouragement, and enhancing the client's personal motivation. To make the necessary changes in thinking, beliefs and behavior, I work together with my clients to bring about about their desired goals. My areas of focus are anxiety and depressive disorders, treatment of trauma, and marital and family issues.

Perhaps you've been struggling for a while, or just recently found yourself in need of extra support; you've come to a place where you want to live differently. I commend the courage and vulnerability it takes to seek help. Individuals from all walks of life and a broad range of clinical, behavioral, and relational concerns are welcome to Sojourn Counseling. I believe everyone has the capacity for change and a strong therapeutic relationship can provide the right context for transformational healing and growth.
