Our Counselors

Life can be difficult and at times the challenges we face feel impossible. No one should walk through life’s challenges and hardships alone. Everyone deserves a chance to break free from the emotional weight. The decision to attend therapy takes courage and is the first step toward change. Therapy is a place to explore thoughts, behaviors, and emotions with acceptance and support. My passion and approach are with great empathy to help those in need. I provide a safe and nurturing environment for healing and transformation. I believe happiness within ourself can strengthen relationships throughout our lives. I understand individuals may struggle or feel uncomfortable through the healing process. Building trust and a strong rapport is at the core of my practice. I work collaboratively and uniquely to help process emotions and experiences to reach established goals. My therapeutic style is centered around compassion, trust, and respect. My goal is to provide a space for clients to be heard, experience healing, and feel empowered. 

I believe each person has a unique story and experiences which impact our daily lives. I integrate mindfulness and self-care into my practice. My education and training have exposed me to multiple theoretical approaches. However, I look to apply an approach tailored and customized to meet the needs of the client(s). I gravitate toward experiential, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, and humanistic/existential; however, my experience has provided exposure and knowledge with cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT) approaches. I enjoy working with individuals, adolescents, and couples. My specialties include working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, decreasing shame and guilt, trust, emotional processing, trauma, and effective confidence building; as well as, other issues.

I am committed to the journey and will walk alongside you as a support, life coach, and mentor. I look forward to working with you.

To summarize comedian Taylor Tomlinson, therapy is like arm floaties: it provides you the tools and skills to help navigate the pool of life. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental, healing environment where you will be met with empathy and we will collaborate to identify, set, and meet your goals. I am passionate about working with individuals that are struggling with anxiety, phobias, negative thoughts, or have experienced trauma in their life. That being said, I am excited to help anyone that is ready to start their therapeutic experience! I take an integrative approach using Cognitive Behavioral, Brainspotting, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, TEAM therapy (Level 1), psychoeducation, Family Systems, Gottman therapy, person-centered techniques, and more. I have an eclectic background and practice with the belief that everyone is unique and that you are the expert in your own life. I believe in leveraging your strengths, empowering you, and eventually helping you take off the arm floaties and lead a life of well-being.

I believe in the power of communication and how with the right tools anything is possible. Within my role as a counselor, I want everyone coming to see me to feel comfortable and heard in a trusted and safe environment. I enjoy learning about people and their backgrounds, it helps me understand who they are now. I value individuals and culture and hope to help people work through any feelings they are experiencing, whether good or bad. I enjoy working with couples, individuals, families, teens, and children. I hope to be a bridge for families that need a better way to communicate. I particularly enjoy focusing on working with couples and help them bridge the gaps that might be occurring in their relationship. After teaching a DBT (Dialetical Behavior Therapy) skills group I have truly enjoyed this modality and incorporating it into my sessions as it can help people with regulating emotions as well as finding ways to accept and move forward from trauma or other issues in life. I use a number of different modalities and customize them for each person therapy. I have a wide range of interests in this field, but I truly enjoy using music in my practice and feel that music can offer great comfort in uncertain times.
