For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

There are feelings and emotions that are worth exploring and working through. Allow yourself to create a healthy way of processing.

Being uncomfortably is not always a bad thing. We are taught to create a life that is comfortable, but uncomfortable feelings are also a sign of growth. It’s rare we grow without being uncomfortable.  The feeling that follows uncomfortable is often life changing.

I know it can feel uncomfortable talking to someone you don’t know about your worries. Our space will be safe and free of judgement

I am a licensed social worker with 25+ years of experience listening and helping people reach their goals. 

Therapy is an investment in yourself and looks different for everyone. A good therapist will allow you space to be you and to connect with yourself, and that will be different depending on you. It is a place to say what you need say, how you need to say it, free from agenda or judgement. It isn't head shrinking, therapy will not change you anymore than you want to change, and it isn't to fix you (primarily because I believe you are not broken).

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 17 years of clinical experience across a variety of settings including community mental health, crisis intervention, inpatient psychiatric, and addictions. I have practiced with many diverse individuals, and understand that a person's life is a blend of experience, personality, and culture. This understanding leads to a whole person view of treatment, and a belief that everyone has the ability to overcome circumstance and live the best life possible.

Yes, therapy can, at times, be uncomfortable. I mean, you are pouring your heart out to a stranger, right? Telling him your deepest, darkest secrets. You wonder if he will understand, if he will judge you, or even use those things against you in some way. Also, sometimes there are difficult feelings to get through. Memories that we just wish would go away. Thoughts that interrupt even the most pleasant times. Never fear! Those 'bad' thoughts are feelings are but temporary, and the telling of your story usually leads to a sense of relief. Heck, just knowing that someone cared enough to listen can make all the difference in the world. After awhile, you will find yourself putting your past in the past, able to live fully in the present.

Give it a try - therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" type of thing. You and your therapist have to get along. If you don't like them, it's okay to try a different therapist. It can be scary to open up to someone but you'll never know if you don't try.

Growing up in New York state, I had always wanted to change the world and help people. From a very young age, I remember getting a “doctor” gift for my birthday with the plastic stethoscope, and the “doctor Katie” printed on the jacket. After “listening” to my mother’s heart, I sat her down and said “mommy, how are you today?”. As I got older and the topic of psychology and neuroscience were explained to me, I began becoming fascinated with the brain and specifically the mind. I am also a dancer and dance teacher, and dance and physical movement have always been such a big part of my life. It made complete sense to me to use dance as an emotional outlet. This was my savior throughout any and all hardships I’ve faced. I love spreading my passion for the art of dance and the emotional release it has, so it made perfect sense to start to marry the two worlds together: psychology and dance. This led me to gain an Associates degree in Humanities with emphasis in performing arts, specifically dance. Then onto my Bachelor’s where I studied psychology with an emphasis on neuroscience. From there, I took a bold risk and moved across the country to San Diego and attended University of San Diego for my Masters degree in Counseling, specialization Clinical Mental Health. While at USD, I received my Practicum placement at an organization that works with Tribally enrolled and Tribally affiliated Native Americans/Alaska Natives where I have been able to further explore my passion for holistic counseling and alternative forms of counseling such as incorporating dance and movement into sessions. I take a very Person-Centered approach where I allow you, the client to be the guide, as you are the expert in your life and I am here to help you walk on that path and decide what works best for you. I draw from various therapeutic interventions including Gestalt theory, neurobiology, EFT, Attachment theory, Mindfulness based practices, CBT and DBT. I utilize play therapy with younger clients and with those who are interested in physical movement. I hope through our work together, you gain a sense of grounded self, peace within your world, and new perspectives that will support and advance your growth and healing.
