I'm glad we found each other!
Having been a Therapist for many years, I have a LOT of training and experience under my belt. Whether you are recovering from childhood trauma, looking to learn about emotional management skills or ready to eliminate cycles of depression or anxiety, I can help.
Every session is designed to help my clients take solid action towards a more peaceful and compelling way of living. My goal is to help you thrive!
But, be forewarned...I provide well rounded mental health solutions, not just coping skills or a place to talk.
A modern approach to the same old problems
After working in the therapy field for many years, I found the clinical, medical approach lacking. Long assessment forms, unnecessary diagnoses and ugly offices were not my style. That's why I am doing things differently. Here are a few things about me and my work.
- I don't work in the medical model of mental health anymore. The majority of people being diagnosed need education and new skills, not just pills. I can teach you what you need to know to get healthier.
- I have spent 1000's of hours in the therapy chair, read a ton of books on mental health and wellness and have attended more than 20 specialized trainings and retreats to be able to help you feel your best.
- I help people change the way their brains work through neuroscience and skills based living. I use evidence based methods of helping people change their lives.

No! You can design your own personal growth project. You will set the schedule for how often you want to do sessions. Some of my clients see me every week, some, just once a month- it's totally up to you!
Payments can be made with an HSA, FSA or credit card securely online. I don't accept insurance for payment or do any other medical related billing.
The way I work with people is unique because I don't work in the medical sector of mental health. This gives you the freedom from your mental health being discussed, documented or considered as part of your medical records.
As a practitioner who works outside of the typical model, I tend to see a lot of therapists and business owners.
Not everyone who needs help has a condition.
