Bonnie is a seasoned therapist who brings warmth, wisdom, and a deep commitment to healing to every client she works with. With more than two decades of experience supporting adults, Bonnie offers compassionate, client-centered care rooted in proven therapeutic approaches.

Bonnie’s Approach to Therapy

Bonnie uses a multifaceted, eclectic approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. Her work is grounded in client-centered therapy and enriched by techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Communication Theory as developed by Virginia Satir. She also integrates the humanistic principles of Carl Rogers, especially the core belief in unconditional positive regard and the importance of deeply attuning to each client’s experience.

Her therapeutic philosophy centers on meeting clients where they are, helping them reconnect with their inner strengths, and guiding them toward greater self-awareness, self-love, and empowerment. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for growth, Bonnie works alongside you as a supportive partner on your journey.

Bonnie is especially skilled at helping clients:

• Navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions

• Improve communication and connection in relationships

• Heal from trauma with trauma-informed care

• Strengthen family dynamics and parenting skills

• Build self-esteem and emotional regulation skills

• Develop mindfulness and body awareness

• Reconnect with hope and purpose

In Bonnie’s Words

“If your life has presented you with a situation that has caused you to feel ‘stuck,’ I can help. I work with adults who are facing challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions. I also enjoy working with clients to help restore connection, communication, and healing.

I believe therapy is most effective when it’s collaborative and rooted in compassion. We’ll work together in a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen and supported. My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, clarify your goals, and find practical ways to move forward with confidence. If you have questions or want to know more, I invite you to reach out—I’m here to help.”
