My goal as a therapist is to help you discover true connection within yourself and to others through deep exploration of your past experiences, and future hopes and desires. Together we can find the healing and change you may be looking for, and develop a strong sense of self through strength-based approaches, mindfulness techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapeutic practices. Trained in a psychodynamic approach, we will explore the unconscious mind and help bring awareness to your thoughts and patterned behaviors. It is through a deeper understanding of the self and our experiences that we can obtain the true connection, freedom, peace, and resilience we desire. We will develop ways to live intentionally, creating more meaningful experiences and a purpose-driven life. I have also been trained in EMDR and Neurofeedback, which I often integrate into my work with clients to help further growth and progression. My experience in working with youth and in outdoor recreational therapy has led me to see the importance of nature in our everyday life. As Lao Tzu once said, “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” I will work in this same mindset allowing you to set the pace and lead the way in our journey of self-exploration and healing together. There is so much to learn from the world and people around us, and I look forward to learning from you as we work to identify your own personal values and goals. It is these values and skill sets that will serve as a compass to help you navigate life’s many challenges, twists, and turns. I am a fully licensed clinician and have been working at Healing Pathways Therapy Center for about four years. I love working with my clients and look forward to building more relationships through my work.
