    About

    The journey forward is inward.

    Deciding to come to therapy can be scary. I offer a safe place to express what is. Every one of us needs the healing power of redeeming grace that begins with my acceptance of you, just as you are. And that relationship continues with a mutual understanding that we are meant to live more fully, more beautifully, and with more peace.

    To have that kind of life, we need each other. I am so grateful you have come to the point in your life where you have reached out for that kind of partnership.

    My hope is that I can walk with you this journey of healing, with patient understanding, and with acceptance.

    “We are meant to live more fully, more beautifully, and with more peace.”

    — Ron Olson

    Therapeutic Approaches & Modalities

    Understanding the connection between past experiences, relationships, mind, and body to support meaningful healing and growth.

    Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)Family Systems TheoryAttachment TheoryAcceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)Somatic Psychology
    My approach to counseling recognizes that our experiences, relationships, thoughts, and physical responses all play a role in shaping how we navigate the world. I draw from trauma-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Theory, Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Somatic Psychology to help clients better understand how past experiences and relationship patterns may influence their present challenges. Together, we work toward building self-awareness, developing healthier coping strategies, strengthening emotional connections, and creating meaningful change that supports healing and personal growth.
