You deserve to feel empowered during your journey of self-discovery. My experience integrating a social justice lens into my practice allows me to recognize your identities and how they may impact your experiences. I strive to take the mystery out of therapy and encourage openness and honesty during our work together. My therapeutic style embodies the belief that our environment, society, and the people that we come into contact with can play a variety of roles in how we interact with the world. I primarily utilize systemic, person-centered modalities while integrating skills and strengths-based approaches that fit best for you and your individual goals. I believe that your interests and passions should be celebrated and emphasized in your therapeutic journey. I am personally and professionally familiar with geek and gaming culture and encourage you to bring these interests into your treatment if you also belong to these communities. I invite you to reach out to me to learn more and to see if we may be a good fit.

In working with you I focus on finding practical solutions and promoting insight and self awareness. I believe that in a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship all of us, children and adults alike, have the ability to find answers that will transform the relationship with our selves, our families and our communities. We become open to seeing with new eyes, learning new skills, and creating solutions where we were stuck before. Let me support you in moving forward in your life. After gaining a thorough understanding of your concerns I use many tools to support you in reaching your goals, for example asking questions, relating pertinent information, teaching skills as well as many different ways to process your feelings and thoughts. I also use play therapy, sand tray, cognitive behavioral therapy and teaching social skills and emotion regulation.

About My Clients: I love to work with clients who really want to be done with their suffering, but don’t know how to do that. I integrate EMDR with Alison Teal’s Super Resourcing, a close cousin to EMDR that combines powerful resourcing and Parts work to achieve deep healing of your wounds. Background and Approach: In working with clients with trauma in their backgrounds – and many people have several – I use a process that’s tailored to each client. We’ll pay close attention to the pace of work that’s right for you. We’ll work together to develop your ability to be mindfully present and peaceful in your daily life. We can look at the coping tools you’ve been using, and look for ways to make them more adaptive for your present life. We can use some powerful tools to strengthen your internal resources. All these methods work to help you be well-grounded more often, in more situations, even in stressful times. Trauma work doesn’t have to be as painful as you might imagine, and I’ll be with you helping find ways to make it as gentle as possible. EMDR, integrated with Super Resourcing and Parts work, can help you stay within your range of emotional tolerance. Overall the aim is to balance progress with gentleness. Personal Beliefs: I am a longtime ally of People of Color, women, LGBTQIA people, and I support social, economic, and environmental justice. I believe that deep down, we are meant to exist in community and connection. I strongly believe in everyone’s inherent right to discover who they are, and to live their fullest life.

At Wild Mind Counseling, we believe your mind isn't something to tame. It's something to understand and embrace. Our approach to healing is relational and trauma-informed, rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens through authentic connection. We hold both acceptance and change, honoring the complex, creative parts of who you are while building a life that genuinely fits you. Grounded in inclusive, liberation-oriented care, we work with individuals, couples, families, and people across all relationship structures, and we collaborate with each client to create change that feels sustainable, not forced.ed

At Belove Counseling we appreciate that we all have basic needs that we are trying to fulfill. At times, the methods we choose to get those needs met are no longer useful or can have detrimental outcomes to ourselves and our relationships. My approach to therapy begins with a mindful focus on self. The basic needs that provide the foundation for motivation include the ability to love and be loved, the connection with others, learning to recognize your competence and personal power, and to act with freedom and autonomy. Ultimately, we all strive to be emotionally fulfilled and joyous. Together, we will take a journey inward and curiously explore the obstacles and barriers which keep you stuck in unhealthy patterns.

While I fully maintain my license as a professional counselor in multiple US states, I now exclusively offer coaching services.

We are human. I believe we all encounter circumstances--internal, external and relational--in which we feel stuck, overwhelmed, helpless or unsure of how to move forward. As a therapist, I am committed to helping individual adults, children and youth, couples and families identify patterns of thoughts, behavior and interactions that inhibit fulfillment. I work together with people to identify goals and to evaluate our work in therapy. Ideally, therapy is a temporary commitment, a place to bolster internal resources and identify more effective tools and ways of interacting and coping. As a family therapist, I believe our families, friends, peer groups, colleagues influence our lives in powerful ways. Therefore, incorporating partners, family members and/or other relevant peers into therapy (when appropriate) can be valuable.
