The Support You Need.

The Life You Want.

“Finding yourself is not really how it works. You aren’t a ten-dollar bill in last winter’s coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people’s opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. “Finding yourself” is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering of who you were before the world got its hands on you.”

—Emily McDowell

Unsure about therapy but notice that certain patterns in your life keep recurring? Or maybe you're exploring aspects of your identity. Life may seem more stressful and more confusing than ever before. Reaching out to find a therapist and support takes courage.

Individual therapy or Marriage & Couples Counseling is an aspect of healthy living that can help restore balance and grounding. The process can be exhilarating, challenging, and profoundly rewarding as you gain clarity through increased awareness. I offer both Individual Therapy and Couples or Marriage Counseling in a safe, relaxing environment.

“My approach to your therapy is eclectic and holistic. My theater and performance arts training have provided a baseline for my viewpoint on how people change and grow. I believe that movement, body awareness, and meditation are essential aspects of the healing process. We can explore negative or intrusive thoughts, thought processes, and emotional reactions to these thoughts through the use of CBT, REBT, or DBT techniques. We will also explore and address our relationship during the session and focus on issues or moments of growth between us. This is a helpful tool to gain insight into behavior patterns, heighten awareness, and build trust (Gestalt and Existential Therapy).

My approach is playful but direct, and I believe that laughter is an essential element of the therapeutic process. But, most importantly, I am here to listen. I will act as your advocate and offer empathy and understanding, no matter where it is that you have landed in your life story. I value my client's unique life experience, narrative, and vision. Sessions honor needs and comfort level and help the individual understand, gain insight, and develop a greater capacity for growth and positive change.”
