Step one, figure out what is fueling the grimy pond. A mentor once told me, “If you don’t know where you are going, how do you know when you get there?” Step two is identifying what you want your clear pond to look like.

I like analogies... you are currently sitting in a pond full of grime and slime, no wildlife in sight, and the water is muddy brown. This is what life looks like following hard seasons, bad childhoods, or rough relationships.

From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Trauma-Sensitive mindfulness practices, to the creative arts, and attachment-based systems work, I love to make my methods as individualized/special as those who seek my services.
Work together to establish a healthy identity, change or manage symptoms, and learn to cope with emotions in a healthy way. We will also work towards processing trauma and freeing areas of "feeling stuck" that may hold you back in your life.

I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for my clients. I tailor therapy to each individual based on symptoms, needs, conditions, and identity. My main goal is to ensure that my clients have a safe space to heal and grow.

Something to know about my approach is that I will ensure that your treatment plan is specific to you. Everyone is different and deserves an individualized treatment plan.
Together we will work to determine what you are seeking from therapy and set goals that are individualized to you and how you hope to grow. This is your time and I am here to be the passenger and allow you to gain the skills you are seeking.

I feel that there is no one size fits all approach to therapy therefore I aim to incorporate skills from DBT, CBT, MI, ACT, etc. and bring in a very person-centered, strengths-based approach.
