Have you ever felt particularly stuck in your life or overwhelmed by your circumstances? I excel in assisting individuals in overcoming various obstacles that may hinder their personal growth and overall well-being. Together, we can facilitate a meaningful journey of self-discovery and mindfulness, empowering you to live with intention and authenticity. This process promotes a deeper self-awareness, allowing you to truly embrace the present moment rather than being consumed by past experiences or future worries.
I bring a pragmatic and logical approach to therapy, emphasizing balance in personal development. My style focuses on guiding individuals who are committed to healing themselves from the ground up. Together, we can work towards fostering qualities such as confidence without arrogance and resilience without inflexibility. My approach is grounded in humility, recognizing the importance of being “salt of the earth” in my practice. In addition to offering solid advice, I utilize a unique therapeutic style that incorporates the principles of alchemy, which I describe as "alchemistry." This involves holding the energy necessary for your healing process, focusing on integrity, truth, compassion, and forgiveness. By drawing upon the divine feminine and ancient wisdom, I assist in weaving together the fragmented aspects of your being. I work with individuals aged 12 and up who demonstrate a commitment to their healing journey. Respect and cooperation are fundamental; I value a collaborative relationship where energy is mutually invested in the therapeutic process. I am fully trained in a variety of evidence-based therapies, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic therapies, attachment theory, psychodynamic approaches, and motivational interviewing, ensuring a comprehensive toolbox to support your journey.
I am a straightforward therapist who speaks the truth. Growing up on a farm taught me to be honest from a young age. My humble beginnings in rural Nebraska have shaped my down-to-earth approach. If you want to learn the truth about yourself, you're in the right place, and you might discover it's better than you think. At 18, I experienced the benefits of psychotherapy and believed, “If I can help someone like my therapist helped me, my life would have meaning.”
