I listen to my clients, observe visual clues, and engage honestly. I also assign homework to ensure we’re not just talking; we’re getting better.

From my perspective life is about learning and growing. We have continual opportunities to learn and grow. Sometimes this means accepting ourselves and our situation with more realistic expectations- grieving or forgiving ourselves or others. Sometimes this means making a conscious choice about how we want to live differently and having the courage to make the first steps in that direction. As my mentor therapist used to say---- a therapist's role is to comfort the discomforted and discomfort the comfortable- we need both at different times. My role is to help guide you and walk with you in your journey. Thank you for the privilege and honor of walking with you and helping you navigate life in more balanced and authentic ways!

I assist clients that have endured trauma and stress. Are you looking to find relief through compassionate and effective treatment? If you are interested in finding relief from conditions that have affected your mood, your relationships, your work, andor your habits in a negative way, call or email me now. Together, we can walk the path of recovery together until you have reached your imagined destination. Let's work on overcoming intimate partner violence, anger, toxicity, infidelity, addiction, self-hatred, codependency, shame, isolation, fear, neediness, grief, etc... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to openly share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through active listening and collaborative dialogue, we will work together to help you gain new insights, develop coping skills, and create positive changes in your life.

I have been working in the helping field related to counseling for almost 20 years. In that time I have learned that the best way to help others is to be an excellent listener, to be compassionate, empathetic, and to collaborate with individuals to assist them in gaining the tools that they need to make positive change in their lives. I work hard to encourage clients that the strength for change lies within them and my job is to help them find it. I utilize a great deal of mindfulness based techniques and believe that learning the process of becoming more mindful in life can be extremely beneficial to problem solving and learning to sit with discomfort. As a counselor I do not believe that I have all of the answers or can fix anyone, however, I do believe that if the client is willing to do the work to create change in their life that I can assist them in doing so successfully. Ultimately, my goal for the counseling relationship is to assist clients in managing stress more effectively and learning skills that can be used well after the counseling relationship has terminated, in a straightforward and honest approach.

Human connection is at the center of my work. I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive relationship where you feel understood and respected. My role is not to provide quick fixes, but to partner with you as we explore your experiences, strengthen resilience, and create space for meaningful change. I draw on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). These methods can help reduce distress, shift unhelpful patterns, and support the mind and body in processing trauma. I also provide dedicated support for adolescents, offering a space where they can feel safe to express themselves and build the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges. In addition, I offer psychedelic integration therapy, helping clients process insights from psychedelic experiences and apply them in grounded, practical ways. Above all, I aim to create a compassionate, collaborative environment that honors your unique story and helps you move toward healing and growth.

In my practice I use a variety of cognitive-behavioral techniques; visual guided imagery, Imago intentional dialogue and exercises, Voice Dialogue, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), EMDR, and stress reduction techniques. I provide a safe, comfortable, compassionate, and fun environment.

I believe that therapy can help individuals overcome obstacles, gain insight, and create changes that result in a better quality of life. You may be facing serious challenges and experiencing significant emotional difficulties, or you may just need a safe space to open up about the various stressors in your life. My goal is to help you unravel and process the individual hurdles that stand in the way of achieving a happier and more fulfilling life. I run a group therapy practice focused on material mental health. We are located within a collaborative space, Be Hive Wellness, that houses several holistic providers focused on mind-body wellness. I am certified as a perinatal mental health practitioner, and I love helping individuals who are struggling with stress, mood, and anxiety issues during pregnancy and postpartum. I offer a variety of options for support, including therapy, coaching, groups, and workshops to help women develop tools and confidence as they navigate life with a new baby. I also enjoy helping people improve self-esteem and explore new ways to cope with symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma, and I am passionate about connecting people to resources that can help them grow and succeed. As an EMDR practitioner, I utilize this cutting-edge technique to help people overcome painful and traumatic experiences, including traumatic birth experiences. I offer individual and group therapy, teach educational workshops, and have written five books on self-improvement topics. I am committed to providing a comfortable, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for you to get the help you need. I view therapy as a collaborative process and welcome you to ask questions and share your thoughts on what works best for you. Everyone's journey is unique and the decision to seek help can be both scary as well as hopeful. I encourage you to view my practice and personal websites for additional information and resources and invite you to reach out via email with any questions regarding the best next steps for you.

I offer clients a compassionate, trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming approach that honors both your history and your resilience. My work blends psychological insight with nervous system healing, so we don’t just explore obstacles, we build your capacity to regulate, recover, and reconnect to joy and meaning. Whether you’re seeking clarity through assessment (e.g., attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) evaluation, diagnostic testing) or healing through therapy (anxiety, burnout, relational stress), I tailor sessions to your pace, strengths, and life goals. Healing isn’t about masking pain, it’s about learning to feel more ease, joy, and steadiness in your body while living in alignment with what matters most.
