What's My Approach to Therapy?

I believe many of us weren't modeled, taught, or given the “rules and playbook” for a balanced life, a successful career, a happy marriage, fulfilling relationships, self-regulation, and emotional resilience—I certainly wasn’t. I also believe that many of our core beliefs and mental frameworks were shaped in ways that are often dysfunctional. As humans, we naturally do what we know, and rewriting our narratives, developing healthier belief systems, and implementing more adaptive behaviors and actions can be extremely challenging. I kept trying to change, but I didn’t have the proper tools to draw from. Once I was given guidance by individuals who were actually living the life I desired—actually living the relationships I craved, self-regulation, and genuine happiness—I began experimenting with their suggestions to see if they could work for me as well. I truly had nothing to lose. Slowly but surely, I began transforming: my relationships became richer and more effortless, and I was able to transcend my anxieties and negative perceptions.My goal in working with you is to help you rise above any challenges you may be facing, reshape beliefs that no longer serve you, and adjust behaviors that feel stuck—so you can create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and authentic.

My Practice & Services

In my practice the evidence based modalities I typically implement in my sessions.

Narrative Therapy: Identifying and exploring the negative or limiting stories & beliefs you are telling yourself, about who you are and how you perceive the world. Then creating new belief systems, new neural pathways that truly benefit you. AKA Neuroplasticity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: You have a negative thought, which creates an uncomfortable feeling, leading you to behave in ways that don't serve you. Together, we notice these patterns and work to create and try out new ways of thinking and behaving that better support you.

Reality Therapy: Guiding you to gently explore how certain choices may be affecting your life.
It supports you in realizing that you are in control, that you can shape your own reality, and that you have the power to create meaningful, positive change.

Groups I Work With

    I am passionate about working with and making a difference for high school and college age students. These age groups carry a special place in my heart.
    During my high school years, finding a therapist that I believed could "actually" help me was such a challenge. Therapist's I would meet seemed so out of touch, limited life experience, that was relatable to me, and feedback that was not helpful. I promised myself when I became a therapist I would actually be able to help kids "like me" because I would have personal life experience and perseverance on overcoming my challenge, along with education.
    I have equal passion for working with individuals facing addiction challenges. While most therapist shy away from this group, I welcome it with open arms. Addiction is sneaky, corrosive, and ruins your life and others. Alcoholism, drug addiction, love addiction, or sex addiction.
    Addiction = ball & chain without even realizing it's bound to you. Addiction, finding yourself doing the same thing over and over expecting different results " this time it will be different! I promise". Yet, it never is. Addiction, believing it's everyone else's fault or problem, not yours! "If they would just leave me alone, I would be FINE!" FINE = Fractured, Insecure, Neurotic, Exhausted. Addiction, finding yourself experiencing the same patterns or outcomes, regardless of how much time spent away.
    And of course, I deeply enjoy working with individuals suffering from anxiety, life transitions, depression, or PTSD.
