Kalm Counseling

I believe that the counseling relationship helps improve mental health by allowing a safe space to process painful emotions, to gain insight into current stressors, and to practice alternative ways of acting in response to the stressors. I use a non-judgmental approach and strive to work together with my clients and their families to help achieve their goals.      In my opinion, some of the most difficult times to navigate can be adolescence and young adulthood. This is a period of time when we are learning to balance responsibilities (i.e. school, work) with social desires (i.e. hanging out with friends, social media). Successfully managing all of life’s expectations can be difficult and I can provide support and education to help you, or your loved one, through these periods and learn how to cope more effectively. I also have experience working with adults as they navigate relationships, work stressors, stage of life transitions, and family of origin concerns.      Some of the issues I work with include anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, adjustment issues, family conflict, relationship issues, and concerns related to the LGBTQIA community. I use CBT, DBT, and provide trauma informed care.      In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my husband and kids, exploring nature, reading, traveling, and going to concerts.
