I have been working with children, teens and adults with a variety of issues for over 25 years.
Making changes can be very difficult. I believe that therapy is about finding the inner strengths inside of yourself that can allow you to become the person you want to be. Whether you are healing from wounds from your past or looking to write a new future, change is possible. No two people go through this process in the same way, everyone's journey is very unique.

As your child learns to better understand and regulate their physical urges, their emotional messages and their mental narrative and how those patterns negatively impact their daily life, they can become empowered to make necessary changes.
Are your children displaying challenges with emotions, relating to others or adjusting to a school environment? Difficulty regulating emotions and impulsive behaviors can negatively affect the way we interact with others, causing difficulties in building those relationships we need to thrive. I primarily work with children and teens with an emphasis on Autism, development delays, ADHD and anxiety and the impact on daily functioning and fully enjoying life. I have seen how trauma negatively affects normal childhood development and have been trained in EMDR for children to help free them from a burden and pain they don’t understand.

I LOVE working with children as young as 4 years old and adults alike.
I connect to foster deep transformative experiences by understanding brains adapt for both functional and dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. Adaptive survival processes are explored and resolved via EMDR to reduce the impact of past onto the present. Treatment explores brain/body stress response systems to learn to trigger steady not stress. My background in biology and psychology allows valid comprehensive research to guide treatment, using technology such as HRV biofeedback and EEG neurofeedback in addition to psychotherapy. Specialized treatment is offered for neurodivergent folk as I am also a certified Autism ASD clinician.

Do you feel "stuck" in your relationship? Often, people come in, wanting to strengthen their relationship, but feel stuck because their efforts to save the relationship aren't working, and often make things worse. I work with couples to help them get "unstuck" and to help them learn how they got there, and more importantly, how to begin enjoying one another, connecting, and becoming strong supports as they once were for one another. I also work with individuals who feel stuck, personally, in their own lives and in relationships, helping them identify their own patterns and get "unstuck."

People come to me from all walks of life, all seeking something different for themselves. I specialize in helping people working through life transitions. This includes people experiencing faith transitions or healing from religious/spiritual trauma or transitioning away from a high-control group, those transitioning to a new family structure, people entering a new season of life, those coping with a diagnosis or illness, and those navigating new relationships or exploring existing relationships in new ways. As life changes, we change with it. I help my clients explore and navigate this messy, confusing, exhilarating process.
