I have nine years of experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brainspotting, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to assist individuals in improving their daily life. I have worked in a variety of settings including individual, group, and intensive outpatient programming. I am passionate about empowering individuals to be the expert in their life. Outside of professional life, I enjoy crafting, hiking, and spending quality time with my dogs and horses. I believe in the healing power of animals and nature, which I also brings into my therapy practice. I am passionate about helping clients heal and grow in ways that feel authentic to them, using a holistic approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

As we dive into the session, we’ll explore how your past experiences have shaped your beliefs and behaviors, and how they play out in your interactions with others. Together, we’ll uncover unconscious patterns and limiting beliefs that may be influencing your emotional and relational challenges. We’ll examine the roles you’ve learned to play in life, and how the parts of yourself that remain hidden can be brought into greater alignment with your authentic expression. Using reflective listening, body awareness, and clear communication, I will support you in deepening your self-awareness, helping you better understand your emotions and needs. By the end of our session, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of how to align your internal experience with your outward expression, creating a more true and fulfilling connection with yourself and others. My ultimate goal is to help you align with your most authentic self—mentally, emotionally, and physically—while fostering healing and growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to create a deeply supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to explore their most authentic selves. I am skilled at integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet clients where they are. I have a strong ability to hold space for clients as they process deep emotional work. I approach each session with patience and empathy, recognizing that healing takes time and that every client’s journey is unique. My commitment to reflective listening ensures that clients feel truly heard and understood, which can be transformative for self-awareness and growth. Additionally, I am passionate about helping clients uncover and embrace their authentic selves. I use Jungian principles to explore the unconscious patterns, limiting beliefs, and hidden aspects of the self that influence behavior. This allows clients to align more closely with their true desires and values, leading to greater fulfillment in their relationships and lives.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with clients healing from anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and relationship trauma, using evidence-based approaches like Brainspotting, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Through Brainspotting, we target unresolved emotional trauma, helping release stored tension and facilitating healing. ACT helps clients build psychological flexibility, teaching them to accept difficult emotions while focusing on values-driven actions. CBT is used to challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. Together, we’ll work to rebuild self-worth, regulate emotions, and foster meaningful connections, empowering you to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and self-assurance.
