About

To know what is True and to know what is Good for the Courage to Heal

You can do this! You can face this! You have the tools! I am here to help to carry this burden for a time while assisting you to identify and grow your tools and skills to become stronger, wiser, and more capable to pursue that which is good and true in life. Depression, anxiety, trauma, and numerous other internal and external barriers can seem overwhelming when trying to navigate daily life alone- so let's do this together. As a positive, motivational, and solution focused therapist, I work to first meet your immediate needs by clarifying critical issues and sorting out the troublesome life perceptions. I will teach you about healthy coping skills that are so often already within you, enhancing them through dynamic holistic approaches. After, we can get to the roots of issues! At times, disruptive or traumatic story lines arise that I will help you navigate with narrative therapy styles that integrate trauma-informed mindfulness skills. I will cater my approach to each person, often integrating expressive modalities through writing, art, or body movement to work on issues you may not be able to talk through yet.
