Religion and faith is often held very dear, and when something happens in life to shake those beliefs and habits, it can be very disorienting. Therapy can provide a supportive space for individuals to grapple with their beliefs and spiritual identities, often following significant life changes, experiences or realizations. Therapy can facilitate the exploration of doubts, emotions, and values, and help clients navigate the complexities of shifting established beliefs. The path forward is different for everyone, but it is possible to bring harmony to our beliefs and experiences.

I often refer to anxiety as the ‘common cold’ of mental health. Everyone gets it, but can experience it in varying intensities. Therapy for anxiety integrates evidence-based techniques and mindfulness practices with an understanding of each client’s unique experience to help develop coping strategies, challenge thought patterns, and reclaim a sense of well-being.

Welcoming a new life into the world is a profound journey, yet the physical and emotional challenges that come with pregnancy and early parenthood can be overwhelming. Prenatal and Postpartum therapy recognizes the unique transitions, conflicting feelings, and difficult thought patterns that expectant and new parents experience. This specialized support provides a safe space to explore the wide variety of joys, struggles, grief, and anxieties during the perinatal and postpartum period. Through therapeutic practices centered around individual needs, we can help alleviate the feelings of isolation, anxiety and depression, and help caregivers be empowered to embrace their roles with confidence and resilience.

Grief is a long, overwhelming, and complicated journey. Therapy for grieving clients offers a space where clients can unpack their emotions, explore their sorrow, begin healing, and imagine what life might look like going forward. Grief must be felt and experienced at a unique pace. During therapy, we can find solace in sharing stories, learning ways to cope, and rediscovering hope and life amidst heartache. Therapy for grief offers not only a support system, but also the reminder that even in the darkest of moments, there is a path toward healing and embracing life once again.

For clients who know something needs to change, but don't know what that means for them yet. Mental Health intakes are offered to help clients gain an understanding of what they are experiencing, and what treatment options are available to them.

It’s difficult to watch children struggle, or to have unhappy relationships with them. It is never too late to change the relationship a parent has with their child.

Therapy in Nature Pop-Ups are your typical therapy session, but outside in nature. This could mean finding a place to sit and be still or finding a trail to walk during your session. Sessions conducted outdoors allow individuals to connect with the beauty and serenity of their surroundings while deepening therapeutic insights. The sensory experiences of fresh air, natural light, and the sounds of nature can reduce anxiety and stress, while physical activities like walking or hiking can release endorphins, boosting mood. These unique offerings allow clients to explore their emotions while experiencing the natural therapy that outdoors has to offer.

As conversations about mental health continue to grow, many companies and groups are finding those conversations seep into the workplace. Workplace presentations on mental health can provide education, validation and community. As a licensed counselor, I offer a unique perspective on fostering resilience and reducing stress through mental awareness. These sessions can help equip your team with practical strategies for navigating mental health challenges and create an open dialogue about support systems within the workplace, ultimately contributing to a healthier, more productive work environment. The needs of each workplace vary, and collaboration is a key component to selecting topics relevant to your needs to empower and uplift your organization.
