Welcome! Do you wonder why suffering exists and how you can overcome it? Providing support, guidance, education, and tools to trauma survivors and individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and ADHD is my main focus. I help people come to terms with painful events, make sense of them, develop adaptive coping strategies, enhance communication skills, process trauma, and empower them to identify choices and creative solutions based on their unique needs and circumstances. I help others to move out of feeling stuck or hopeless. I have spent the past 6 years specifically focused on therapy/counseling, while incorporating over 20 years of experience providing wellness support through teaching yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and volunteering in equine therapy. Rather than provide a one-size-fits-all approach, I recognize that healing can occur through different pathways, and I can help you explore options and find tools that work for you.

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

Our first session will be spent getting to know each other, understanding your strengths and challenges, what you hope to gain from therapy, and mutually deciding whether I am the right clinician to assist you. It is important that you find someone you feel you can talk to and has the right set of skills and training. If the combination works, great! And if there is someone who could better assist you, we can talk about that too, as honesty is key in any working relationship. Ultimately, I'm here to help you connect to the best support for you, and if you appreciate my directness, that could be me!

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

My greatest strengths are providing a safe, non-judgmental space where clients have the opportunity to explore their unique views and gifts, develop insight, and integrate different aspects of themselves. Some of the words friends and fellow clinicians have used to described me are, "kind, empowering, very patient; willing to engage in and learn from conversations, no matter how difficult they may be; direct communication; strong; trustworthy; unique perspectives; accepting; willing to get in the trenches."

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

I enjoy working with individuals and couples ages 18 and up, especially those who are ready to actively engage and collaborate in their healing process. There are no shortcuts or quick fixes, but a trusted confidant who has confronted many obstacles can help you navigate through rocky terrain, avoid pitfalls, and keep forging ahead through the ups and downs. Healing can be a difficult and painful process, but it can also be greatly rewarding. If you could benefit from a combination of strength, compassion, encouragement, and straightforward communication, I might be the counselor you are looking for.
