I have been working in the helping field related to counseling for almost 20 years. In that time I have learned that the best way to help others is to be an excellent listener, to be compassionate, empathetic, and to collaborate with individuals to assist them in gaining the tools that they need to make positive change in their lives. I work hard to encourage clients that the strength for change lies within them and my job is to help them find it. I utilize a great deal of mindfulness based techniques and believe that learning the process of becoming more mindful in life can be extremely beneficial to problem solving and learning to sit with discomfort. As a counselor I do not believe that I have all of the answers or can fix anyone, however, I do believe that if the client is willing to do the work to create change in their life that I can assist them in doing so successfully. Ultimately, my goal for the counseling relationship is to assist clients in managing stress more effectively and learning skills that can be used well after the counseling relationship has terminated, in a straightforward and honest approach.

My name is Jewels and my specialty is working with individuals who grew up within family conflict, a difficult relationship with a parent, or a childhood that did not feel safe. I have trained in attachment trauma (when we don't grow up with consistent, nurturing caregivers) and the impact it has on our brain, body, behavior, and relationships. Growing up this way can feel like climbing a mountain without a map. We become skilled at navigating rocky terrain, reading the weather, bracing for storms, learning the safest path to take, and how to survive on our own. Our nervous system can feel these effects long after childhood is over. I offer education on the impact of childhood trauma, strategies to reduce anxiety, skills to create new patterns, ways to set healthy boundaries, productive communication techniques, and more. For deeper work, I offer Internal Family Systems (IFS), and inner child work. We move at your own pace, focusing on what feels right for you. I am a nurturing therapist and offer a safe space where your inner child can begin to heal. You deserve to have a voice and your voice is important. Your feelings matter and you are not alone. “Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right” -Robert Hunter

Everyone encounters problems in their lives. Most of us, most of the time, feel able to overcome them or at least weather the storm and find a way forward. Yet most of us, at some point in our lives, face problems which feel overwhelming and for which we need outside help. Regardless of how severe or long-standing your problems are I am confident I can help. Learning new ways of being and adjusting how we take care of ourselves and our life can and should be empowering, positive, and uplifting. I have extensive experience with Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems, Motivational Enhancement and Mindfulness-based approaches to psychological health and symptom reduction. I invite you to journey with me into an empathic, clear and productive relationship where you will have the opportunity and support to discover your inherent wisdom and adaptive nature. I am here to help you sort through your unique situation using your own perceptions and strengths. Treatment is focused on changing thought patterns, behavioral habits, and emotional narratives that no longer serve you. I bring warmth and energy to every session with the wholehearted expectation that we will achieve our goals together.
