I never wanted to develop my resiliency muscle, but when life challenges caused me to question my worth and sanity, I begrudgingly dragged myself into a therapist's office. I soon realized the value in processing my experiences with an unbiased professional who helped me discover inner strengths and progress toward my goals. Transforming my own life with the help of a therapist encouraged me to return to college as a single mom and become a therapist myself. View 8 Photos I am passionate about creating a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach to therapy is client-centered. I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and change. Once a person feels truly seen and valued, they can begin to heal. When I'm not meeting with clients, I seek out adventures. I despise black/white thinking and prefer to live in the gray, where perfectionism doesn't exist and everyone's experiences are valid. My adult "kids" and teenagers keep me humble, laughing, and swearing under my breath.

Do you find yourself struggling to communicate your feelings in an authentic way to those around you? Is setting boundaries in relationships (and sticking to them) a challenge for you? Relationships are an integral part of our lives—whether they be with colleagues at work, a partner or spouse, close friends, or our children—and maintaining these relationships takes work! Taking some time to focus on yourself and your relationships can have a tremendous impact on your mental health and overall wellbeing. The belief that every person can foster meaningful changes in their lives is central to my personal philosophy of change. I approach therapy as a strengths-based, collaborative process geared towards the facilitation of change, true emotional expression, and resilience. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I strive to understand each person’s unique life story and to build trust in exploring and meeting the needs of whomever is sitting with me. My philosophy of change recognizes the systems of oppression and trauma that exist around us and acknowledges the harm that has been enacted and perpetrated against LGBTQIA and BIPOC individuals and their families in the psychotherapy space. My priority in session is to create an open and safe space, which I believe is necessary in the process of healing.

Typical clients include those who have an abuse history. This history can range from physical, sexual or emotional abuse.

“The most important confidence to have is confidence in your ability to persevere in the face of opposition.” Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, PhD. The pressure of our ever changing world and relationships often pushes us into unhelpful ways of coping and relating to those we love most. Sometimes, we need someone to see things with a fresh perspective, to help us see our strengths, and to open our eyes to the blind spots preventing the healing and progress we’re longing for. I offer individual and couples counseling, always looking to help clients move through the places they feel stuck and frustrated. As a trained marriage therapist, I am deeply aware of the complicated and nuanced ways our relationships change through time. I work with couples to navigate infidelity, faith transitions, address communication problems, deepen emotional and physical intimacy, maneuver depression or anxiety, and find the joy they are looking for in their marriages. My goal in working with clients is to connect them with their best selves - the wise person within each of us that knows our values, tolerates the truth about who we are, and courageously uses that knowledge as a catalyst to personal and relational growth. As we do so, we begin to move through the ups and downs of life with more integrity and patience.

There's never a convenient time to go to therapy. However, a valuable time to try is during adolescence. Young adults face many difficult challenges. This time is not only challenging for youth, but for their parents as well! Stress develops in areas of sports, religion, school, and relationships. Transitioning into adulthood can be difficult, but I've seen it be a time of great progress for clients and their loved ones. I help clients learn to cope with their current stresses and find their own unique identity and strength. Don't wait too long to start living the life you want to be living.
