You DESERVE to Re-SET, To Re-FUEL, To Re-CHARGE. And then TAKE FLIGHT! Since entering the field of therapy I have learned to ascribe to the adage “all behavior has meaning.” Yes, ALL behavior. A deep curiosity for why we all act and think the way we do coupled with my own life’s challenges and experiences has led me to a place of compassion for not only my own life choices but compassion for others. Our thoughts lead to feelings, which leads to action. We are not always proud of our actions. As a woman, mother, wife, and veteran I know all too well the shame that comes with our personal choices and behaviors. I also know there is also a fear of JUDGEMENT when it comes to considering therapy. This is a no-judgement zone and if you are seeking a different feeling and action in your life then you have landed at the right place!

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

In your initial visit, I want to know what you hope to gain from working with me. If this is hard to identify, that is OK, we will start there! We will then identify what you recognize is and isn’t working well for you in your life. Therapy is not advice. It is an investment in ourselves toward desired changes in life we desire to live with intention. Yes! INTENTIONAL living! Together we will focus on what hasn't been working for you and create a game plan to help you TAKE FLIGHT on the goals and dreams you have for your life!

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

I believe I have the gift of connecting in a way that allows my clients to be their authentic selves. I strongly believe active listening is very important in the therapeutic alliance. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness-based strategies in sessions, to calm the mind. It is so important to learn the art of being PRESENT as so many life issues are due to being past or future-focused.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Thoughts leads to feelings, which leads to behaviors. CBT helps a client to shift their thinking in order to have behaviors that are in alignment with their personal goals and dreams for their lives!

Couples Counseling

Many come to me for couples and realize they need individual sessions (or more). I will consider counseling for those who are serious about addressing the concerns causing them distress in their relationships. Sometimes I will consider taking on the client as an individual client FIRST. An initial assessment will determine the most appropriate approach!

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Many people struggle to stay present and often times are past or future focused. Using mindful practices will help. I teach people how to incorporate this into their daily routine. In the beginning it is hard for some, but with gentle coaching I'm able to assist clients with finding what works best for them!

Psychoeducation

In my experience, I have found that it is important for clients to better understand their diagnosis as well as some of the interventions they learn to apply in between their sessions. Providing psychoeducation helps with this endeavor.
