Why Choose Us

Like those ripples, counseling can have a positive impact that reaches all areas of your life.

But - let's be honest – it’s unlikely you are here, exploring counseling, because everything in life feels “positive” right now. In fact, I’m guessing it feels quite the opposite.

That’s why I am so glad you are here.

When we sit alone with our uncertainty, fear, or sadness, we are like the motionless pebble on the shore.

Stuck, in a single spot, without hope of moving.

Counseling, on the other hand, is like the still water – full of untold energy and potential that builds and builds. It’s waiting, right in front of us, ready to be released.

You initiate a ripple effect of positive benefits when you reach out to begin your counseling journey.

• You are no longer alone with difficult emotions.

• You have an unbiased perspective to help you see things clearly.

• You gain support like none other you've experienced in your life.

• You and your uniqueness are honored for who and what they are.

• You establish a safe place to be heard, to heal, and to grow.

And when you choose to begin that journey with me, you get a trusted partner with over a decade of training, experience, and expertise.

As an integrative and intuitive therapist, I draw from a wide range of evidence-based models. As I work with clients, I blend in the modalities I believe will have the highest and most beneficial impact.

Throughout my time as a practicing psychotherapist, I have deepened my practice and expertise through meaningful professional development opportunities. Highlights of this continuous focus include:

• Training through the Gottman Institute and Relational Life Institute (RLI), both of which focus on supporting couples and relationships.

• Becoming a Certified Brainspotting Therapist. This therapy is designed to help resolve traumatic experiences by reaching to the root of where these experiences lie - in our subconscious mind. This modality can be adapted to support both individuals and couples.

• Attending live events with thought leaders in the therapy space, such as Esther Perel, Terry Real (founder of Relational Life Institute), Emily Nagoski, PhD (author of Come as You Are), and David Grand, PhD (founder of Brainspotting International).

• Becoming a Certified Discernment Counselor through the Doherty Relationship Institute.

• Studying Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

• Remaining a member in good standing with the American Counseling Association.
