About
I seek to provide a safe therapeutic space that honors your experiences and assists you in achieving your goals. I resonate with Carl Rogers, who wrote, “When I accept myself as I am, then I can change.” I see counseling as a process of healing that invites you to tell your story without shame, build on your strengths, and discover untapped internal resources in collaboration with a professional guide. As you author the next chapter of your life, a transformation is possible where you move from surviving to living the life you want to live. My experience is working with people with a history of family addictions, emotional neglect, causing anxieties, depression, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships, and a sense of "stuckness" in life. I encounter many clients in this space who struggle with shame and self-worth issues that respond well to my compassion-focused approach. I believe it's not my job to fix you but to find you. Please contact me to begin your heroic journey of self-discovery and transformation. Specialties: I work with individuals and couples who struggle with a nagging personal or relationship problem. For couples, I utilize the Gottman method, and with individuals, an integrative, attachment-based approach., I focus on providing compassionate antidotes to shame, disconnection, and grief. The work is reconnecting to the self; to know that wherever you are, that is where home is. Credentials & Experience: I have nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare, emergency medicine, physical therapy, and mental health services. During my graduate training, I received additional training in addictions, DBT, and cultural competencies. I also work part-time with small groups at the Meadows Outpatient Center.
"Research shows a critical element of successful psychotherapy is the development of a collaborative and trusting rapport between therapist and client. I focus on building trust through active listening, validation, and compassion. Alongside a strong therapeutic alliance, I utilize evidence-based practices in multiple modalities that are effective and work for you!"
