You are likely reading this because you are looking for something in your life to be different. You (or your teen) may be struggling with emotions and moods, anxiety, grief, relationships (with self and others), parenting, communication, school or career. I work with people to identify what is working and what they would like to be different, and then work on the how. It is important to me that you feel seen and heard, and that our work together is of value to you and your life.
I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have a gentle, non-judgemental listening ear while attempting to problem solve some of life's most difficult moments. For me, the therapeutic relationship is a special connection that allows for creativity, exploration, discovery, and empowerment.
I am committed to you as a vibrant, connected, unified being. I recognize all of our potential to heal and to be whole! I invite you to partner with me to embark on your journey of creating lasting transformative growth and ultimate well-being. "The only journey is the journey within"
Has life become overwhelming due to an unexpected life change, illness or death of a loved one? Do you feel like you are stuck, wanting to change but don't know how? Are you suffering from anxiety and depression that just won't seem to go away? As a former oncology social worker, I have helped thousands of patients and families struggling with all of the above while trying to make the best health decisions for themselves. Using proven approaches and a warm, person-centered connection, I can help you feel and live better. I offer a free 30 minute consultation, so you don't have to pay to see if we are a good fit. Call or email me today and let's talk about how I can help you overcome your current challenges, live more fully, sleep better, have a greater sense of ease, and be better able to handle any other obstacles you may face.
If you have a history of trauma, relationship issues, mood instability, harmful habits, or low self-esteem, I'd love to meet you. I use my training and experience in IFS, ego state therapy, and other evidence-based modalities to support people in healing past wounds, working through current issues, and building the life they desire. We will come up with a plan that feels comfortable enough for where you are right now, but also ultimately moves you forward. My style is warm, honest, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. Please reach out to schedule a complimentary consult or your first appointment. I look forward to meeting you!
You can change your relationship with food and how you feel about your body. You can live a life where thoughts about food do not get in the way of living your life to the fullest.Together we will work as a team to improve your relationship with food and help you feel more confident. I help people struggling with an eating disorder, binge eating, emotional eating, body image, yo-yo dieting, bulimia, or other eating related concerns. I also have specific training and experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. I help people who are feeling stuck and wanting to make a change.
In this big world that we live in, we often find ourselves surrounded by people, but walking entirely alone. They don’t understand us and when we stop to think about it, we realize that we don’t really understand ourselves. The pain, fear, and other struggles become who you think you are, losing the true sense of the person you were meant to be. You’ve tried changing your personality or appearance to find the love and acceptance you crave, but it’s only left you feeling empty. Life keeps passing by, time keeps ticking and the pain becomes too much to handle and the feeling of being “stuck” has settled in.
Through our work together, you will find empowerment to face your struggles, strength to have ultimate freedom over your life and learn practical tools to apply to everyday life. My therapeutic approach is based on building a strong, healthy relationship with you and walking side by side through your journey of self-acceptance and healing.
You don’t have to do this alone. I can help you experience self-acceptance, worth beyond measure and ultimate freedom from self-judgment. I know seeking counseling can be hard, but help is within your reach. Together, we can walk through this journey to make meaningful and positive changes in your life. Call me for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
I am very passionate about helping other people as I believe that every person is inherently valuable and worthy of living a meaningful and balanced life.
As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients. Much of my clinical experience includes working with adults and adolescents who struggle with addiction, depression, and anxiety. I also enjoy working with those who are simply in the process of adjusting to challenging life circumstances and events (i.e., the loss of a loved one, starting a new job, coping with a global pandemic). In all of these cases, I believe that change and healing take place in the context of relationships with others, and I consider it a privilege to cultivate therapeutic relationships with people who are working towards making meaningful changes.
I draw from several theories of psychotherapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy. As a clinician who also has an educational background in theological studies, I integrate spirituality and spiritual formation into counseling when desired by clients, always with the intention of helping clients achieve their goals.
Enso Wellness, LLC was created to provide an option for counseling and psychotherapy that focuses on each client’s individual needs. Every person is unique and deserves to have a space where they can share their unique experiences, and have those experiences validated while they seek the help they need. I utilize an Integrative and Client-centered therapeutic approach while providing my clients a supportive and nonjudgmental space where we will collaborate on their care.
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe non-judgemental space for all clients, especially clients who may not click with other therapists such as LGBTQ+, gender diverse, polyamorous or non-monogamous, and kink practicing clients. During our sessions you can be your true self. You don't have to mask with me or hide things about you that you think are weird or unlikeable. Ideally I can help you learn to like those aspects of yourself. You never have to hide important parts of your identity with me because I will never judge you for any reason.
