Therapy Services

Person-Centered Therapy is the basis of all of my work. It is typically associated with Carl Rogers, a pioneer and staple in the Mental Health and Counseling fields. Through this lens I offer unconditional regard for each individual, void of judgment or bias. I firmly believe that our work together needs to be through unbiased compassion, in a safe place, with understanding that you the client know yourself best. What that means is whether we are counseling, consulting or coaching I believe that you have all of the answers inside you. Through our work we will untangle the lines, try new methods, discuss perspectives and help you identify your desires, truths and goals.

Research has shown us the multitude of benefits of taking time outside, movement in nature and taking forest baths. I'm currently working towards credentialing as a Forest Guide and use integrated techniques. Some of them include walks outside while we talk, finding a quiet spot by moving water for our session, or smelling various herbs and flowers to help cultivate mindfulness. I'll encourage time with animals, time spent outside, movement and may recommend books or parables about nature and wildlife.

Telehealth Services can be provided with any clients as long as you have a private space and phone or computer! We make the appointment like any other, please let me know if you prefer Telehealth, and I will send you a link to meet virtually via my HIPAA compliant platform. 

Coaching could be the right option for you. Please let me know if you are interested or would like to understand more fully the difference between Counseling and Coaching. One way to view the terms and difference in process is through their relationship in time. Coaching tends to sort through the present and how to improve to a future state and is typically more skill focused; whereas counseling includes exploring the past, where some of the concerns came from, addresses mental and emotional states more deeply and how to improve it for the future. Both include helping to untangle things, reading between the lines in our discussions and pulling out new perspectives.  

These are two areas where I have received a lot of questions over the years which helped me realize what a need there was. 

Student consulting and counseling includes finding focus on their studies, schedule planning, and college and career planning. 

Parent Consultation includes ways to help your child through their own process of counseling, identification of systems in place that could be beneficial for the whole family, identifying patterns in parenting and trying new methods.
