The client is the center of any counseling. Being motivated and having feelings that someone cares is the first key to overcoming addiction. Family support is as equally important because substance addiction is about support. A client's needs, his or her goals are vital to my operation. Healing is about the whole of an individual.

I believe the most important relationship you have in your life is with yourself. We spend so much time and energy on other people, but it is just as important to put that same energy back into your own wellbeing. Often people find themselves at a point where they feel stuck or frustrated about their relationships, careers, families and even themselves. During those times, it can be immensely helpful to allow someone else to help us reflect and move forward. Today’s world can be very stressful, and I am honored to help people navigate the struggles of balancing all of life’s challenges.

Do you lack motivation? Or do you feel like you need help getting “unstuck”? Do you feel unsure of how to cope with your past trauma and current life stressors? If these questions resonate with you, I think that it may be time to consider therapy. I enjoy collaborating with my clients by trying to find solutions to their trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety in the same way you connect the pieces of a puzzle.

"Only in an open non judgmental space can we acknowledge what we are feeling. Only in an open space where we're not caught up in our own version of reality can we see and hear and feel who others really are, which allows us to be with them and communicate with them properly." This quote by Pema Chodron, an American Buddhist Nun expresses the atmosphere I hope to create for clients seeking counseling services from me. For more than 30 years I have attempted to provide, through a collaborative dialogue services that will improve each clients quality of life.

Life often does not turn out as hoped for or expected. It can be difficult to navigate amidst feelings of isolation, sadness, anxiety, and grief. Relationships often suffer as a result of life stressors and the baggage we all bring into them from our own experiences. People want to feel lighter, healthier, and happier which can be achieved through a variety of tools and interventions. Through a combination of both experiential and cognitive approaches, therapy can help to ease the weight of tough times and instill hope and change.

My focus as a clinician is to process certain events and facilitate healing and growth. I will focus primarily on affect management and stabilization skills, prioritizing attunement and positive belief systems. This fits well with/if you or your child struggles with something that is distressing, self-esteem, grief and loss, and/or high conflict environments. I use a combination of talk therapy, sand therapy, EMDR, and art therapy.

As humans, we sometimes find ourselves stuck. We might feel stuck in painful circumstances and relationships, in old and outdated patterns of behaviors, or with narratives that just don't feel true to us anymore. This is part of what it means to be human, and yet, being human also implies an innate potential for evolution and growth. Together, grounded and curious, I work with my clients to get in touch with the present moment, determine what really, truly matters to them, and identify how to move forward in life in a meaningful and intentional way.

My goal is to facilitate your natural capacity to heal, grow and change. I work with folks that have mental health diagnoses like PTSD, anxiety, or depression, more general life concerns like transitions, relationship issues and loss, or difficulties in recovery from addiction or active substance use or other compulsive behavior(s). I also work with people that experienced difficulty in early childhood in addition to trauma, which often presents as Complex PTSD. I believe that many of the issues that bring us to therapy are interpersonal and bring special attention to the unique power of relational process in therapy.
