Change is challenging, but it is also inevitable. Therapy is all about navigating change: it's happening and we need help coping OR we're stuck and need help changing. Let's learn about how to successfully navigate change.

In counseling, I work to meet the needs of the individual which includes biological, psychological, social and spiritual. I use therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy, Play Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I believe meaningful connection is important in the therapeutic process and healing.

We inevitably go through many life changes and events which can affect us in many different ways. You may experience happiness, sadness, anger, or hopelessness. You may be able to navigate through some of your emotions on your own, but there may be times when you feel as if you need more assistance. It is okay to not be okay. It is also okay to seek help. I truly enjoy working with individuals and helping them cultivate peace within themselves.

At the core of my practice are empathy and gentleness, while reminding you of your inherent strengths. I use a solution-focused and emotionally-focused framework with my clients and incorporate mindfulness techniques. I am also an LGTBQ+ affirming therapist and love working with this community.

I believe that mental health matters. I enjoy working with people and helping in the local community. Although life can be challenging to manage, we are constantly presented with opportunities to grow. We can develop tools to become self-aware, empowered, and resilient. I help individuals on their journey to a more fulfilling and happier life.

I offer therapy for individuals in an one-on-one, and group formats who are seeking help with their substance use.  I believe in meeting people where they are and creating a safe environment for recovery. I utilize SMART goal planning, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), and motivational interviewing strategies to help you reach your recovery goals.  Most importantly, I believe in a person-centered approach- making us a collaborative team in your recovery journey.
