Welcome to my psychotherapy practice. With over 20 years of experience, I offer children, families, and adults a safe and accepting environment to explore and gain a better understanding of the issues most affecting their lives. Rather than solely focusing on behaviors or symptoms, I work with individuals and families on gaining insight and understanding into the various underlying causes of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is only then that meaningful and long-lasting change is possible. For adults, feelings of worry, sadness, anger, guilt, stress, and self-doubt are often caused by a combination of present life circumstances and troubling past experiences. Together, we will work on helping you make inner changes and choices that will ultimately lead to a more meaningful, satisfying, and enjoyable life. Children often have difficulty putting their feelings into words. Instead, they "act out" these feelings within their relationships with parents, siblings, and others. The goal of child therapy is to promote healthy and progressive emotional development. This is achieved through play and talk therapy along with parent guidance sessions.

My first mentor in the field of counseling told me, “You can't take anyone to where you've never been.” This sage advice has stayed with me for the 30-plus years that I have had the privilege of operating in this profession. These words have encouraged me to continue my own journey of self-exploration and healing and then, in turn, helped me to be more equipped to offer and support in the healing relationships that I have been privileged to play a role in over the years. Children, adolescents, and families have been a particular area of focus and expertise for me. From working in traditional outpatient settings to inpatient settings View 5 Photos Healthy, working, therapeutic relationships start with the building blocks of a healthy relationship. For my clients, this includes providing a safe place to share information, thoughts, and feelings and setting mutually agreed upon goals for the progression of therapy. Sessions then become the process of working towards achieving these goals together. No matter what life has thrown your way, know that you are capable of growing in all the places people thought you never would. (Just as the captivating, resilient wildflowers do). Pull up a chair, take a deep breath, and know that you’re here for a reason. You’ve made it home!

I specialize in care for adults & adolescents, stress management, marriage/couples counseling, and pre-marital counseling. If you are depressed, anxious, feeling lost, or unmotivated, there's hope.

Accepting New Clients: Concerns about relationships, emotional health, general wellbeing? I'd love to help! I work with individuals, couples, and families to create a therapeutic relationship that fosters healing and growth. From an attachment-based theory, I believe that although much pain can enter our lives through our relationships, relationships are also the conduit of healing, including the therapeutic relationship. I believe that in our pursuit of mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational health, it is necessary to combine evidence-based clinical care with empathetic support to help clients achieve their therapeutic goals. It is my aim to help my clients discover the root of their distress and to apply therapeutic care to help my clients achieve health and wellbeing. I work with my clients to address relationships struggles with self and others, emotional disturbances, and faith/spirituality issues. I work with depression and anxiety that present in and/or from relationships. To care for our souls is to allow the essence of ourselves, all that is good and beautiful and broken and hurting, to be discovered in order to be met with with genuine love and empathetic care. At Soul Care Counseling, we care for our minds, bodies, spirit, and souls. We care for ourselves, our partners, our families. We care together!

I believe life unfolds perfectly for each of us, even when we feel blocked or overwhelmed. When we learn how to work with our emotions - instead of against them - they release naturally and help us learn and grow. My aim is to help you experience that directly, rather than simply talking about what that's like (an intellectual understanding). I believe healing happens when we learn to operate wisely from the top-down (in the form of working with our thoughts and awareness differently), as well as from the bottom-up (opening to the genuine feelings, physical elements, pain and desires without shutting down or becoming flooded). I use mindfulness approaches to help with the mind/top-down elements, as well as IFS and somatic therapies for the emotional/energetic/bottom-up elements. I also offer ketamine assisted therapy as an option to help facilitate flexibility for clients who feel quite stuck in areas of personal growth, existential issues, anxiety, depression, trauma and shame. My aim is to provide a comfortable space for you to talk through everything that's on your heart, along with guidance to connect with your natural capacity for clarity and healing. If you are interested in working together, please reach out to set up a phone consultation. I will respond within 24 hours on weekdays, and I look forward to connecting with you.

The exquisitely personal work we do in psychotherapy is one of the most challenging, and most richly rewarding efforts we can undertake. Seeking a deeper understanding of ourselves, healing pain from past relationships and pursuing a more energetic life are essential journeys to take. It is a privilege for me to accompany clients on this journey, holding the lantern that lights the way ahead and sharing in their struggle to find an invigorated life. This relationship is the foundation of healing and healthy change; a relationship with a therapist who is genuine, respectful, resourceful, compassionate, humorous and nonjudgmental. I am trained to help people achieve the life they want. Usually, this involves changing the way they think, the way they feel about themselves, and bringing more energy into their lives. My training is helping people who are physically healthy as well as those with disabilities. I assess people who have had an event that changed the way their brain performs I encourage you to heed the words of Henry David Thoreau, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

I believe that symptoms are like guideposts, signaling opportunities for growth. Expressed as anxiety, depression or even chronic pain, these unwelcome experiences actually show us where to begin the work of bringing life back into balance. My clients are typically outwardly successful people who seem to be traversing their busy lives with ease, while secretly they struggle with issues like chronic pain, anxiety, depression and disconnection from self and others. I work within a mind-body framework to uncover and heal the root causes of a client's symptoms so that they can experience lasting relief. Whether working with trauma, anxiety or chronic pain, my therapeutic model of choice is IFS (Internal Family Systems) because it creates change quickly, but gently and the positive effects of treatment persist over time. I am also trained in EMDR and PRT and use these modalities alongside IFS, where indicated. I'm happy to schedule a brief consultation so we can decide if your treatment goals and my therapeutic approaches are a fit.
