Practice Manager & Therapist
Mission
As a counselor, my mission is to create a safe container for introspection and self-discovery. I am dedicated to providing a warm and compassionate environment where clients can explore opportunities for new insight and emotional growth. My focus is on promoting personal insight and facilitating a deeper understanding of the self, particularly for women and families.
Method
My approach is based on attachment, mindfulness, and communication skill-building principles, with a focus on strengthening the relationship with oneself and others. I specialize in helping clients establish clear boundaries, increase self-awareness, and build confidence in handling relationship challenges. I provide a warm and compassionate presence to help clients feel secure in their therapy journey. I use a trauma-informed approach that integrates cognitive-oriented theories, Internal Family Systems, and Motivational Interviewing. My natural ability to connect with others, combined with my dedication to creating a collaborative process, allows me to assist clients in exploring new paths to emotional growth and empowerment.
Experience
I have over two decades of experience working with individuals, families, and children in various therapeutic settings. My expertise particularly lies in supporting women and families to improve communication, increase emotional safety, and clarify boundaries. This diverse experience has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to address a wide range of mental health challenges to help individuals and families create deeper connections and more authentic ways of being in the world. I am committed to ongoing personal and professional growth, and I believe working on myself is an essential part of helping individuals navigate their own unique paths to healing and resilience.
Interests
In my personal life, I find joy in the beauty of mountain living. I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, and exploring nature with my husband, two sons, and our golden retriever, Oak. I also value spending time with friends, creating beautiful spaces, and listening to a variety of music.
