Are you feeling stuck and yet are ready to move forward in life? Stagnation can cause feelings of depression, low self-esteem, and loss of fulfillment. As your therapist, I’ll provide collaboration and encouragement as you identify your preferred future, set personal goals, and take action toward your own version of meaning and purpose.

Life is filled with transitions and adjustments in our careers, families, and environments. These changes can bring on feelings of anxiety, fear, and stress.

Transpersonal therapy is a humanistic approach to holistic healing that emphasizes the limitless potential of the individual and the interconnection between the personal, social, physical, and transformational (spiritual) aspects of our being. It engages a variety of techniques, including mindfulness, body awareness, dreamwork, positivity, breathwork, guided visualization, gratitude, journaling, goal setting, and more to provide tools for living a life of value and fulfillment.

I was first introduced to practicing therapy through solution-building, a counterpart to narrative therapy in the postmodern movement. I have since spent many years practicing, teaching, and mentoring around postmodern and constructivist therapies, and increasingly value the power of storytelling as an important vehicle for awareness, connection, and healing. This process is collaborative and full of possibility, acknowledging that we are each the expert on our own subjective life experience.

Anxiety is one of many natural emotions that presents itself as part of the human experience. Occasionally, our struggles with anxiety interfere with our ability to engage in meaningful activities and experiences. We'll explore the internal and external manifestations of anxiety to reduce avoidance and help you take the driver's seat on the road to a life well lived.

Life is filled with both expected and unexpected transitions in our careers, families, environments, and selves. These changes can bring on fear, confusion, and overwhelm. I’ll support you in working through these natural yet difficult adjustments as we creativity expand on your inner strengths, resources, and capacities.

Depth psychotherapy refers to a style of therapeutic interaction that stems from psychodynamic and analytical psychology. It is focused on reaching for the underlying root of a present situation or struggle rather than on simply coping with symptoms. In a depth-oriented approach, a series of deep, creative, and collaborative conversations helps to explore the symbolic themes and patterns that are woven throughout our past and present experience with life.

Experiences with periods of depression vary greatly and often involve a heavy combination of thoughts, emotions, circumstances, and behavioral patterns. They may have situational origins or seemingly occur without warning. We'll explore your unique situation and lifestyle as we enhance openness to emotion and reassemble a life of value.

Gestalt therapy is an integrative, experiential, perceptual, and self-reflective psychotherapy focused on the present, or “here and now”. Literally meaning “wholeness”, gestalt philosophy emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things internal and external, which can be realized through experimenting with contact, openness, and curiosity. In gestalt therapy, examination and exaggeration of verbal and nonverbal communication, body awareness, parts work, and dream work help to promote awareness

With roots in the human potential movement of the 1960s, transpersonal psychology is a holistic and continually-evolving branch of psychology that explores transcendent and/or spiritual experiences and beliefs that contribute to personal well-being. Transpersonal therapy is a creative, depth-oriented, exploratory approach to psychotherapy that can vary widely by practitioner, geographic location, and personal needs.

Carl Rogers began developing person-centered therapy in the 1940s as an alternative to pathological approaches of the time. Based on the notion that humans experience more meaningful growth through free self-reflection than through direction or advice of an expert, person-centered therapists employ positive regard, empathy, and genuineness to create open space for free expression of thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

I have been trained in, taught, and practiced therapy using a person-centered (client-centered; Rogerian) approach for over a decade and in a variety of settings. I employ empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard as the core conditions of a person-centered approach to create an open space for free expression and reflection of thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

I have training in and have extensively studied humanistic approaches to therapy, including person-centered therapy, existential-humanistic integrative therapy, and existential psychotherapy. I value an integrative model for support that incorporates the common and unique factors of these approaches based on each individual's lived experience and needs. Importantly, I also value an attentiveness to the inherent strength in each of us as we attempt to live life fully and authentically.

I have had the honor of teaching clinical social work theory and practice to aspiring psychotherapists for nearly a decade. In continuous exploration of the various therapeutic movements and philosophies, I have routinely been made aware that it is not the differences, but similarities between models that make for an effective helping relationship. I believe in a well-informed synthesis of complimentary modalities, curated and refined based on each individual's needs and preferences.

I have extensive training in strength-based and solution-focused therapies and have applied these approaches across diverse environments throughout my career. While exploration of a problem is often necessary to enhance insight, orienting toward strengths, resources, opportunities, and solutions is what supports change, momentum, and growth. I supplement a humanistic framework with strength-based, solution-focused, and positive psychology interventions to foster self-determination and agency.

Relationships are colorful and come in all shapes and sizes. We'll share an inclusive and affirming space as we explore family, friendship, community, and love with openness and curiosity, balancing opportunities for individuation and togetherness in life's most important relationships.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is an extensively researched therapeutic approach blending mindfulness, self-observation, values clarification, and committed action. It emphasizes non-judgmental awareness of and openness to a full range of human emotion and thought, while orienting toward engagement in personally meaningful actions across life domains. Research shows ACT can be effective in addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, insomnia, ADHD, and more.

I offer a series of extensively-researched, time-tested, and evidence-based practices, many of which are related to and/or derivative forms of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including assertiveness training (AT), behavioral activation (BA), behavior modification, problem-solving therapy (PST), and supportive psychotherapy with cognitive and behavioral components.
