Do You Relate to This Therapy?

Life can be difficult to navigate and there's no user manual. Let’s get to the bottom of why you suffer, although you keep trying. I specialize in working with the grit in academia, compassion fatigue for health care professionals and teachers, and the emergencies within law enforcement, crisis, and military professionals. Yes, you too, as I work with many people.

There is hope to replace critical thoughts, self-doubt, worry, apathy, detachment, isolation, and anxiety, increasing confidence and connectivity. We will build your capacity to feel your difficult emotions that are meant to guide you through life. Would you like to free yourself, and get to know yourself better?

Let's unearth your true-self, reveal the bedrock you’re made from that's already there, hidden behind the wall, or false smile. Who, what, and why…guides you? You may not know, so let's find out together. 

As you connect your heart, mind, and body, your true self will learn to be you-remembering who you are, who you’ve always been. Ready to walk this journey?

We will walk together helping you to intuitively know the answers, less doubting yourself. Less doodling at meetings and blanking out at family events. Less taking anger out on yourself. The AirPods at the grocery store...those too, out. Restructure, Repair, Transform...holistically. Advance trained using Intensive Short-term Dynamic psychotherapy(ISTDP) if you request this type of therapy.

I have been in a counseling/case worker role for over 20 years. I started out working with people who were homeless and addicted to some type of substance/alcohol, anything to numb or escape their pain. 

I ran groups for a while and thoroughly enjoyed it, mostly centered in CBT/REBT models. I loved what I did and I worked with fascinating people. Yet, I didn’t always want to be a counselor or psychotherapist. Entering college, I questioned how I would spend the rest of my life – what I wanted to be when I “grew up.” 

After graduating with a degree in business administration, there I stood, grown up, but still questioning. Soon after, I applied to the Americorps Vista program where I became a Counselor Aid working in the world of substance use problems in residential care. 

That invaluable experience led me to pursue my degree in Clinical Social Work, and spend my passion on working with individuals, families, groups, and military members in our community, to better understand mental health, and help those suffering from symptoms of depression, anxiety, psychophysiological concerns, and other co-occurring conditions.

I am a Yogini and a Christian! I align my practice in many spiritual philosophies including nature, music, movement, including eastern and western philosophies. Our journey together will be whatever you choose to believe and practice. Let’s navigate it together!
