We aim to help people understand and accept themselves, and move towards the life they deserve”. View 6 Photos Journey to Wellness has a variety of therapists to offer a personalized experience for all clients. In addition to LGBTQ+ affirming therapists, we also have therapists with extensive training in anxiety, depression, and a variety of other areas. Our therapists work with all ages, ranging from elementary school through older adulthood. Life can get difficult for all of us. The same way we go to a dentist for a toothache or our doctor for a cold, I want to normalize talking to a therapist when our lives, thoughts, or actions don't align with who we are. Our therapists will create a safe space to talk about any and everything. We look forward to going on this journey with you.

By providing a calm, confidential and trusting environment, you will feel heard and understood which is the basis for building a trusting counselor/client relationship. Your goals/needs are the foundation to moving forward from being "stuck" to where you want to be and with help you can get there. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10+ years’ experience working with adolescents/teens, adults and couples utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Reality Therapy, Survivor Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, I can help you reach your desired goals/needs. My experience is working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, life transitions, parenting skills, domestic violence, chronic illness/grief/loss and career counseling. I believe all individuals have the potential to live their best lives. Life is a gift - live well.
In addition to psychology, I have an educational/work background in engineering, including disaster management, and bring a balance of empathy and evidence-based approaches to help you resolve issues. With hands on training in community mental health, I am comfortable working with with a diverse client base, including all genders, nationalities, races, disabilities, and ages, with a wide range of emotional challenges and issues. I have experience working with trauma, depression, and anxiety. I have a personal passion for equality and I am a strong LGBTQ+ supporter. I have an extensive toolkit and I like to work with individuals open to seeing what works. Rather than applying a "one size fits all" approach (e.g., CBT), I work with clients to determine a treatment approach that gets at the core of the problem and works best to get you on your feet as quickly as possible and feeling better. I don't see clients as "mentally ill." We all bring our life experiences to therapy and our history plays a large role in who we are. I look to bring out the best in every client and love seeing people thrive. I enjoy learning each person's story and using their strengths to help them overcome obstacles that limit their well-being.

Our early family of origin experiences lay the foundation for internal and relational patterns that continue to play out in later life. Many of our patterns include our best and most creative efforts to adapt to the tough stuff of life such as trauma, misattunement, and loss. Though these patterns are not set in stone, they are often automatic and hard to recognize, change, or understand. Together we can explore the ways in which our adaptations may have served you well in earlier times but are no longer proving to be helpful, effective, or authentic. I work with clients to create connection, healing, safety, and satisfaction. In my work with teens and families, we identify effective ways to process and cope with distress, supporting your teen to feel more confident and connected and less burdened by anxiety or low self-worth. I work with caregivers to effectively meet their child's needs, feel confident in their role, and find ways to be on the same parenting page. With individuals, I often work with parts that may be overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, loneliness, confusion, or shame. Honoring our wounded parts allows us to explore unmet needs, nurture self-compassion, and engage differently in relationships. I work with major life transitions so that you can be true to yourself during moments of need or change.

I support individuals and couples by using the science of attachment to make sense of important relationships. My role is to help you to organize your life experiences and emotions so you can better understand your patterns/needs for connection and then find more satisfying ways to share and relate to loved ones. I work to help you make sense of your emotions, especially the vulnerabilities, misunderstandings, protections, and hurts that underpin your experience and often drive your behavior or responses. From there, I can support you to create more satisfying relationships, abundant self-work, clear boundaries, and emotional calm. in couples work we go underneath any cycles of conflict and distance, learning more about the missed needs, unseen emotions, and protections that are showing up for each partner during relationship distress. My goal is to help clients understand what is happening within them and between them so clients can find more effective ways to communicate and connect. With individuals, I can help you understand how your experiences shaped you and how they might be serving or limiting you in the present. Many times, this involves reconnecting with aspects of ourselves left behind, healing old wounds, and finding new strategies for connection. I offer EMDR and trauma/attachment-informed models to help you create change.

It is a fundamental human need to live as your authentic self and be connected to important others. These two needs can sometimes compete, particularly if you have had negative messages about what is loveable about you. Being yourself can be risky and leave you vulnerable to shame, pretending, withdrawing, or people-pleasing. While these protective strategies might reduce the hurt, they can also limit your self-worth and full potential. I work with individuals, couples, and groups, to live authentically, fully, and openly. To build bravery, confidence, and trust to share yourself with others, knowing you are deserving of being seen. If you cope by over-functioning, people-pleasing, caretaking, or saying yes, I can help you clarify your boundaries. Where you have unresolved pain, unmet needs, relationship wounds, or feel overwhelmed, I can help you know that there is nothing innately wrong with you, you may just be carrying around inaccurate beliefs about yourself and relationships. With couples, I work with transitions such as sexual identity, gender exploration, opening your relationship, next levels of commitment, exploring sexual needs, starting a family, or early parenthood. Change can bring joy as well as new dynamics and needs. I can help you reconnect, renegotiate, repair, and rebuild, whatever that means for both of you.

I believe that psychotherapy can help anyone answer all of those questions and truly discover who they are and how they can help themselves. Imagine what your life would look like if you could identify how you are feeling in the moment, where it's coming from, and how to work through it effectively. My goal is to help you better understand who you are, help you identify your strengths, and provide you with the tools you need to help you achieve your goals and live the life you want. My therapeutic approach has a psychodynamic foundation that utilizes behavioral, cognitive, and dialectical techniques.

As a systemic and attachment-based therapist, I believe we are all looking for connection, belonging, and acceptance. However old we are – infant, child, teen, or adult – we need to make sense of what happens to us, inside of us, and in our relationships. Our life experiences shape us in profound ways; our sense of self, and how we manage emotions, respond to stress and connect with others. When life experiences are adverse, our body and brain can make meaning in ways that can cause distress. I help clients connect with their innate ability to change and heal difficult experiences so they can find peace and self-worth at any age. I am experienced in infant and childhood mental health/attachment and specialize in working with infants, toddlers, children and teens. Sessions focus on making sense of behaviors and improving connection, self-esteem, and emotion regulation. I aim to help families create the skills they need to navigate the stressors of life, long after therapy has ended. In my work with adult individuals, I help clients regain a sense of their identity, worth, needs, and resilience. Whatever the issue you struggle with, knowing who you are, how you got here, and what you need is the foundation of building a life worth living. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-worth, military life, trauma, and loss.
