Most people muddle their way through life doing the best they can with the limited information and tools they grew up with. How might life be different if a person took the initiative to understand what they want out of life and relationships, and then develop the healthy habits and tools they need to cultivate that life? It is never too late to change your trajectory by deliberately curating healthy life habits and genuine, well-connected relationships. Imagine growing something healthy and productive out of the ashes of trauma, or cultivating genuine relational connection out of conflict and loneliness.
Counseling prompts you to identify your needs and unpack what a purposeful life might look like for you. Then, it helps you develop effective tools that can make allies out of your anxious, traumatized, and angry parts or help you discover which habits and behaviors contribute to disconnection with other people to nurture healthy relational attachments.
You don’t have to collect yourself to begin counseling. Just come as you are and we can navigate the next steps toward meaningful living and building genuine relationships together. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. It takes work and time, but by pruning and tending the orchard of your life, a nourishing harvest is much more likely to follow.

It takes courage to take the first steps toward change. Perhaps you want to improve your relationships, get a grip on your anxiety, depression, or anger, or maybe you don't know where to start. Therapy helps you identify your needs, develop language to describe them, and tools that can make your next step from here significantly more productive than determination alone.

I use an eclectic mix of evidence-based interventions. I appreciate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to address core behaviors. I find that existential, Gestalt, narrative, and internal family systems (IFS) interventions gently reveal and address core hurts. I am also trained in EMDR, an effective tool for treating trauma.
