Losses, social isolation, family tensions, work fatigue, health, and uncertainty have created an imbalance in our lives, consequently decreasing our overall wellness. We all are striving to grow the life we desire. I've been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) since 2008 and have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, AD(H)D, substance use, trauma, and relationship conflicts. I enjoy empowering individuals to grow. Together, we can develop a toolbox of resources to help you become more resilient.
Whether you have previously done therapy or this is a new experience, feeling apprehensive is expected, and relationships are essential. I strive to make our appointments feel more like a conversation, and while there is a structure to the session, you have complete flexibility to guide your goals.
I have worked in trauma-informed care with nonprofits since 2004 and started private practice in 2022. In addition to working as an independent professional counselor, I have freelanced in art and design and worked in environmental and social advocacy. I participate in my own counseling and growth work and have deep respect for anyone on this journey.
Integrative therapy is a holistic approach to treatment that combines various therapeutic techniques to address a client's unique needs.
ACT focuses on acceptance, mindfulness, and values-based action. Rather than dwelling on the past or fearing the future, clients are guided to develop a non-judgmental awareness of their thoughts and emotions, laying the foundation for acceptance.
Existential therapy focuses on the anxiety and uncertainties that are part of life, such as death, the fear of the unknown, and the meaning of life.
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach that helps people change their behavior by exploring their own reasons for wanting to change.
