About

Making a connection is part of the process.

Connection is the key and foundation of our working therapeutic relationship. I want you to feel supported, encouraged, and empowered to face the pain that brought us together.

We will explore approaches and techniques to help you understand your past and create a new future through counseling and coaching. This exploration may be an emotional roller coaster, but you are not alone.

It is quite natural to experience bouts of anger, depression, or hopelessness during the therapy process. These feelings typically mean that change is happening, and change can feel uncomfortable. I encourage you to keep moving forward during these times, despite the painful feelings.

These feelings often subside in time and can lead to increased resilience and new behavioral and emotional reactions. Together, we will work to ensure that you have the practical, evidence-based tools to manage anxiety, depression, and all kinds of conflicts during emotional storms and life challenges.

Establishing therapy goals depends on you.

You may have personal and professional goals. Therefore, we will break each goal into bite-sized chunks.

A typical goal can take anywhere from 1-9 sessions, but each person is different. You will determine how long it takes for you; if you need more time to complete the goal, we can always change it.

Remember, you are always in charge and directing what we work on together.

My approach is holistic and centered on growth.

You are more than a body and brain. I will consider all aspects of you as a person, not just the symptoms and diagnosis.

We will explore physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects to support your mental well-being. I have various tools that we will use to work through any baggage you may carry that prevents you from being your best self.

After each session, you will have lifework to integrate into your daily life. Lifework is activities performed between sessions to reach your goals. It provides the opportunity to practice using new skills, helps clarify the work needed to achieve your goal, and enhances your ability to cope with the complexities of life.

While lifework can be challenging, it will be my pleasure to help you explore ways to enjoy the journey and find your path to a better life.

Take the first step and gain a new perspective.

I’m here to help you discover a new way of living by providing tools to support the courage you will build through our work together.

By trying something new, there is an opportunity to get out of the muck in which you are living – whether it is relationship challenges, recovery from trauma, or daily stress.

The first step is the most challenging, making the call to schedule the appointment. In this initial call, I will ask a few questions, and you will have an opportunity to ask questions and explore if we are a good fit. You will also have the option to schedule the appointment online after our discussion.
