Individual Counseling

I love the psychotherapy work that I do.  For the last 27 years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and creativity of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families.

 I take a wholistic and client centered approach to counseling, walking with clients through  the  process of tuning in to their heart, soul, mind and body. ​

I will incorporate expressive arts,  movement, functional nutrition and spiritual components into sessions at the client’s  request.  I enjoy working with children and teens as they gain tools for emotional resilience and navigate key developmental stages. Before becoming a therapist I was an educator for 20 years. The combination of my skills as a teacher, mom of 3 adult kids and therapist give me the ability to build rapport with kids and support them well as they gain resilience skills and grow towards their goals. I integrate work with the parents and bring a wholistic approach to treatment.

In my counseling practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families.  ​​

My theoretical orientation is rooted in reality theory, which basically takes an account of where you are now and where you plan to go in the future. My theoretical model is a strong foundation in cognitive behavioral therapy and working to get to the source of the problem. 

I believe in a brief solution-focused style that will enable us as a team to work systematically to get at the problem at hand or the symptoms that have brought you to counseling. 

Reaching out for help when you are struggling takes amazing strength and courage! I applaud your bravery and I am so excited to walk with you on your journey toward a healthier you! I would describe myself as compassionate, encouraging, non-judgmental, and genuine. I would also venture to say that I am delightful! I look forward to getting to know you as we recapture your strengths and move through your journey together.

When we experience trauma, life stressors, or times of crisis it is common to find ourselves struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. Often, we hold deep beliefs about ourselves or others that do not serve us. These beliefs may hold us back from our best life. I work to facilitate healing in those who are struggling to find peace with themselves and in their relationships.

It is not uncommon for individuals and couples to experience significant trauma or difficult life circumstances. My passion is helping those in these situations to find healing and strength. I seek to help my clients, who range from teenagers to adults, individuals, couples, and families, to find strength, balance, and healing.​​

Are there times when you feel disconnected, alone, unimportant, and rejected - even in your closest relationships? You seek closeness but it ends in conflict? It seems the harder you try, the more disconnected you feel. Walls go up - you feel hurt and alone. You lose hope for a closer, more secure relationship. Tyler is committed to helping you end this negative cycle. By getting below the surface of behavior, he helps couples bring awareness to the deep, underlying emotional needs within themselves. A new bond is formed, where each partner is able to feel safe, supported, desired, and loved.

My counseling focus is meeting individuals where they are and facilitating healing, connection, strength, and balance. I am committed to assisting clients with self-connection and nurturing healthy relationships with themselves and others.

Life has a way of bringing us to places we never expected. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to carry it alone. Reaching out for help can feel vulnerable, but it can also be the first step toward creating a life that feels more peaceful, meaningful, and authentic.

 My counseling approach is founded on the belief that we hold immense capacity and wisdom to heal.  We all experience challenges that can feel overwhelming, painful, and even hopeless. I believe that growth and  healing are possible. Whatever    you are struggling with, I will  meet you where you are with  acceptance, compassion,  openness, humility, and authenticity.

I work holistically and recognize each integral role of the mind,  body, and intuition; every  part of you is welcomed and valued.

You don’t have to navigate life's difficulties alone.  Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or struggling, I offer a supportive  space where we can work together to overcome obstacles. Wherever you are on your journey, I'll join you to facilitate healing and help you  recognize your strengths. I see each person as unique,  providing personalized attention to address your specific needs and  empowering  you with the tools to find happiness.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, or the pain of past experiences begin to interfere with the life you want to live. You may find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you and feel disconnected from what matters most. Therapy provides a space where you can gain perspective and develop new ways of responding to life's challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I also enjoy helping parents strengthen connection, communication, and confidence in their parenting.

I provide experienced support to adults, teens, and couples struggling with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and other challenges. I draw on evidence-based approaches to help us explore the patterns and beliefs keeping you stuck, uncover the strengths you already have, and build a life that reflects your greatest hopes and values.
