About
Do you struggle with negative, ineffective thought patterns? Perhaps these thought patterns are brought on by anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma or poor quality of life? Perhaps they are brought on by ineffective stress management, unhealthy communication, poor relationships? It is my belief that our patterns of behavior are heavily influenced by our thoughts, feelings and emotions. These patterns often keep us stuck and unable to move forward. I can help you get unstuck, increase your quality of life and move into your highest and best self. I can throw in a little humor as well!
In my teens, I struggled with severe anxiety, depression and PTSD. I began working with a therapist to get my sh*t together. Now, for over a decade, I have had the honor of helping others thrive and excel in life. I would love to help you do the same.
I have worked with individuals, couples and families seeking therapy for over 13 years, both online and in my private practices. I have also worked in a variety of treatment settings including medical, mental health and addictions/recovery. I hold a bachelor degree in psychology, a master’s degree in social work and doctorate in philosophy. In addition, I am a Certified Master Life and Recovery Coach, a Relapse Prevention Specialist and a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist.
I take an integrated approach to my work with clients by combining my education and experience with their desired outcomes. My therapeutic toolbox is eclectic. I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which teaches core skills in mindfulness, crisis survival, emotional regulation and healthy relationships. I also utilize motivational enhancement therapy to help you uncover what it is you want out of life. Together, we develop a plan to make it happen!
When I am not counseling, I have a massage studio that brings me joy as I get to help clients destress and relax.
