In Pursuit Counseling helps people navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity questions. Our therapists offer warm, story-centered care — practical tools and meaningful conversation to help you move forward. We believe that every person’s story holds both beauty and struggle, and that real change happens when those stories are heard, understood, and honored. Here, therapy isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level solutions. It’s about slowing down, telling the truth about where you’ve been, and imagining where you want to go next. Whether you’re untangling old patterns, rebuilding after loss, or learning to trust yourself again, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome.

I absolutely love working with young folks who feel stuck, anxious, or alone in dealing with the stressors that life brings. I am a relational therapist that holds space for young adults to build connection, develop mindfulness, and explore what values will be motivating for their life choices. This work is rooted in prioritizing self-acceptance: one of the best gifts we can give ourselves in individual talk therapy. In a group therapy setting, I aim to create freedom for individuals to get better at feeling emotions and communicating them to others, as a way to navigate symptoms of anxiety, depression, or trauma. Let’s talk more about how I can help you explore self-doubt, dysregulated emotions, academic anxiety, peer conflict, grief, apathy, anger, addiction, shame, or sadness. The experience of emerging adults today is not hopeless; there is ample opportunity to build resources for connection. This connection creates confidence in your ability to cope, grow, and heal on the journey towards a meaningful life!

Many of us feel like we are always fighting ourselves. We feel anger, impatience, or sadness when the rational and insightful parts of us don't make us feel better. This discontent often manifests physically; we're exhausted, feel a pit in our stomach, tightness in our chest. We want to be present in our relationships, have energy to do the things we love, and feel at peace with ourselves. In therapy, I'll help you explore the early relationships that have shaped the way you relate to your loved ones. I'll guide you through sitting with discomfort instead of pushing it down and away. I'll work with you to cultivate curiosity about the parts of yourself you don't like very much. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, or conflict with your partner. I will take a warm, direct, and affirming approach to our work together. I draw from different therapeutic approaches, including relational psychotherapy, mindfulness practice, trauma-informed care, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I see primarily adults and couples in person at our Lakeview office.

I am committed to coaching you towards a more fulfilling life. Counseling can help you embrace happiness, manage stress, boost joy in relationships, increase motivation, and unleash creativity. I tailor my approach to your unique goals, using cognitive, behavioral, and other motivational strategies. We will focus on your strengths and amplify them. I will coach you to implement the tools from positive psychology to help you thrive. Through the use of imagination and the discovery of new skills, we will identify solutions and reclaim a sense of control. I will demonstrate my personal values of kindness, courtesy, and mutual respect throughout counseling. I provide individual counseling in a nurturing environment. My areas of expertise include Personal Challenges (anxiety, depression, eating disorders), Relationships (communication, conflict resolution, dating, social skills), and Life Skills (stress management, mindfulness, assertiveness, life transition, goal-setting, time management). I bring a sense of humor and a practical approach to counseling. Recommendations are geared towards acceptance of what you cannot control and commitment to action. They may include awareness of your strengths, attention to cognition, and creation of an outcome picture. Sessions are available in person, by phone, and by telehealth for your convenience.
