About My Clients
I work with individuals recovering from high-demand religions or organizations, controlling relationships and burn-out from high-stress jobs. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, but you’re ready to move forward and build a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are, I’m here to support you.
My Background and Approach
As a person-centered therapist, my approach is warm, flexible, and entirely focused on your goals. I use a range of proven methods, including Trauma-informed, Mindfulness-Based Interventions like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindful Hypnotherapy, along with Solution-Focused Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I have advanced training in VA Clinical Mindfulness (VA CALM) and clinical hypnosis, and I continually expand my expertise in religious abuse recovery, control dynamics, and burnout. Beyond direct client work, I’ve spent seven years training and coaching clinicians in Motivational Interviewing. With 25+ years in social work and over a decade as a licensed therapist, I understand life can get complicated. every person I have worked with has taught me more than any education ever could. I am continually humbled and honored to be part of their journey.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor E. Frankl I believe that even in the midst of whatever brings us to therapy—deep pain, uncertainty, self-defeating habits, trauma from systemic injustice, irritability, or anxiety—every person carries a well of light, goodness, beauty, and strength within them. I believe that humans heal through connection and creativity, and in the therapy relationship, we create something together in that space of light and freedom. Then, we watch it expand. It is the honor of my life.
