About
Everyone experiences emotional disturbances at some point in life. Often times we search outwardly for the solutions to our distress. We turn to relationships, substances, and other unhealthy behaviors and ultimately find that these things can’t fix our disturbance, they only mask for the short term and create new problems over time. Our history can give us a lot of data, but we must be constructive with that information once we have it. How can we move forward in a different way that feels better, more authentic, and richer? I utilize techniques that assist in identifying these unhelpful “shortcuts” in order to have better emotional outcomes and healthier behaviors. Many people seek counseling due to loss, divorce, illness, or family conflict. Even welcomed changes, like pregnancy or new parenthood, engagement and marriage, and promotions at work can be stressful and difficult to adjust to. Maybe you have no idea what you need, you just know that something needs to give. I would love to help you through that journey. Research demonstrates that your relationship with your counselor is the primary vehicle for positive change and I take this principle with me as my guide in my work. It is my goal to help provide perspective, validation, challenge you when needed, and make the process as enjoyable as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and help get you started on your authentic way!
