I offer an open minded non-judgemental approach and a great sense of humor, working together to become empowered within your life. I truly feel that with the right nurturing we are all capable of growing the life we want to live and blooming into the best versions of ourselves, no one is beyond help-if you’re ready to do the work i’m ready to stand by your side on the journey!
If you're looking for a therapist who can help with rebuilding trust, intimacy, and connection, I can help. I have specialized training in working with sexual addiction, sexual dysfunction, trauma, and substance abuse. Contact me today to rebuild your relationship and your life.
I work with a broad range of clients, which may not seem connected, but inevitably it is. I enjoy working with kids, teens, young adults, moms, and couples. What I incorporate into my sessions is authenticity, humor, and a pragmatic approach. I often say "let's throw spaghetti at the wall and see what works". I love working with those are actively involved in the therapy process. It's a collaboration between myself and the client. I draw from several modalities, so the approach is tailored to each client. I enjoy couples, divorce/separation, neurodivergent people, PDA (in children) and failure to launch.
First hand, I know the power that negative beliefs can have on one's life. I also know what freedom and healing from those beliefs feels like. Wow, it's amazing!
I am weak. I am not enough. I am invisible.
Have you had similar thoughts to these or know that somewhere in yourself you do not fully love and accept yourself?
Together, we can identify those beliefs and work toward healing and freedom. You do not have to be in-chained to those beliefs and doubt forever.
Throughout my journey, I have spent time stateside and abroad, which gave me an even greater passion for people and helping people understand themselves more and truly find their voice. During my career in education, I became equipped in understanding young people and how to assist them in navigating life along with their parents. In addition, this lead to me specializing in trauma, the use of EMDR, and mindfulness methods as a source of healing. I enjoy working with individuals from young adolescents to mature adults, couples and families including blended families.
With support and healing, you will find your VOICE again.
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Personal Coach
"Relatable", "warm", and "easy to talk to" might be used to describe my approach. Understanding your story, who you are and where you want to go is the foundation of the therapist/client relationship we have. Honesty and compassion mixed with a dose of intention and self awareness can be life-changing.
Therapists can be stuffy and uptight. I know I’ve been to some of them. When you’re in the office with one of them, you can feel yourself squirming and thinking, “When can I get out of here?” When you see me, you get a real human being instead of a therapy robot that strokes its beard and asks, “How did that make you feel?” at semi-regular intervals.
I have a sense of humor, and I know that you sometimes need a laugh during talking about heavy things going on in your life. I might use a metaphor from your favorite TV show to help you get some insight into what’s going on in your life. And I’m happy to share my story to help you on your journey.
I am also deeply committed to therapy that works. I once worked at a clinic where a client was referred to us after spending four years and $40,000 on psychoanalysis – with little to no results. That’s a story that breaks my heart to this day.
My goal from day one is to get you to fire me. In the very first encounter you have with me, I ask one of the most important questions in therapy, “What would have to be different in your life for you to say, ‘I don’t think I need therapy anymore.’” Once we answer that question, we plan our way backward and continually move you toward your goal.
I am an INFJ (Myers-Briggs) who also enjoys being extraverted at times and I am an Enneagram Type 6 (counter-fearful) Wing 5. I intentionally limit the number of clients I have a week so I can invest in preparing for sessions and being fully present. I love to learn about the brain and body connection and how it ties into our everyday life personally and professionally with clients. I have been known to laugh and cry with clients. Anything I encourage my clients to do, I would also be willing to do.
As relationship therapists, we aim to help individuals and couples overcome the challenges in their relationships. We believe that every person deserves to experience fulfilling relationships and that, with the right support, this is possible. Our approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to helping individuals and couples build stronger connections with one another. Through personalized sessions, we strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and work towards their goals. Whether it's navigating communication issues, managing conflicts, or dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, I am dedicated to providing the support and guidance necessary to help clients overcome their obstacles and create a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
Seeking a therapist can be a little scary. I'd love to speak with you on the phone to answer any questions you may have and to encourage you. My goal is to help you find direction and peace of mind, using your unique traits and talents.
We love our job and our clients. Our staff offers a true compassion for the people they see. If you are interested in counseling we want to help you find the best fit, even if it's not one of the amazing counseling in our offices. We support your desire to seek to fulfill your needs.
