In psychotherapy, I take a narrative approach that invites you to re-author the stories shaping your life. Together, we’ll explore the dominant narratives that may be limiting your sense of possibility and well-being. Rather than viewing challenges as fixed, we consider them in context, recognizing how your unique values, skills, and relationships can reshape your experiences. This process empowers you to identify and cultivate alternative narratives aligned with who you prefer to be, fostering a sense of agency, meaning, and renewed direction in your life.

In my work as a psychotherapist, I blend coaching and energy work (which includes: EFT or tapping, matrix reimprinting, energy psychology, PSYCH-K, and muscle testing) to help my clients achieve their unique dreams, goals, and desires. In order to for my clients to become the best version of themselves, they first need to get out of their own way and clear anything that is blocking them or preventing them from moving forward in their lives. Blocks can appear consciously and subconsciously as limiting thoughts and beliefs, disempowering feelings, procrastination and self-sabotage, or as a combination of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I have a Ph.D in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am a professor of psychology as well as a supervisor for those working toward licensure in the state. I have many years of experience working with individual, couples, and families. I work interactively, taking into account each unique personality, desires, needs and goals. I fully understand that most people who come to therapy don’t have a lot of time and money to invest in long-term therapy so my goal is to get as much processing done as we can as safely as possible as quickly as we can. Idealy, I’d like you to learn tools to help yourself, your partner, or other family members, so you won’t need me any longer than necessary.

Psychotherapy is the process of you being with yourself and getting to know yourself in the presence of someone who supports safety, compassion, empathy, and care. We live in a culture that supports looking outside ourselves; where we live, what we drive, who we're dating, what we wear, etc. Carl Jung said, "Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakes." I'm here to support you in looking within yourself, communicating effectively about what you find there (feelings, needs, requests, etc.) and integrating the unresolved wounds of your past so you can feel more relaxed, fulfilled and empowered.
