You're there, in the dark, struggling to find a way out. You're trying to just get through today. At times, even breathing seems to be too much. Life is so exhausting. Some days it takes everything you can muster just to get through the next minute. The people around you, your friends, your family, if they are still there, don’t get you. If you hear “just get over it” or “think about happy things” one more time you’ll scream. Why don’t they get it? This isn’t something you “just get over”! Like you would pick this life if you had a choice? There’s only the darkness, full of loneliness, worry, hopelessness, and despair.

Confidentiality, trust, and therapeutic compatibility are essential for the successful resolution of a person's problems in counseling and psychotherapy. They form the foundation for an honest dialogue between client and therapist that enhances a person's ability to deal with what is true in their life. As a therapist, my job is to help clients identify and resolve those truths and move on, feeling better about themselves and more confident in their ability to handle the difficult problems and challenges that life presents.

As a psychologist, an acupuncturist, and a master addiction counselor, the center of my work is the calling of the psyche, the soul. I draw on the work of CG Jung, existential psychology, Buddhist and Daoist philosophy, and other spiritual, philosophical, and cultural traditions, along with my own intuitive awareness and background as a person in recovery. I incorporate acupuncture, qigong, meditation, and other elements of Chinese medicine where appropriate and if desired. I often work with those who are interested in ‘off the beaten path’ perspectives, those for whom more conventional approaches have been insufficient.

My focus is in providing clients an opportunity to create better connection with themselves and those around them. I work with both couples and individuals, taking part in their journey by providing a new perspective, asking the hard questions, and helping people understand the habitual patterns they get stuck in. My role is collaborative as we discuss sensitive topics that are hard to explore outside of therapy such as sex, gender, communication, addiction, intimacy and trauma. I welcome the opportunity to provide you with a safe and engaging environment to explore new ways of coping.

As a committed Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, I specialize in working with preschool and elementary age children and their families. Children do not always have the language they need to work through their struggles. If we listen and allow the toys to be their words and play to be their language, they tell us so much. Every child has a unique wonder and light inside of them, sometimes they just need help developing their tools to be their best self. Play is how children express themselves, practice and learn new tasks, and regulate emotions. Many children can benefit from play therapy.

Sometimes you can see the demons clearly; they might be anxiety, persistent and unmanageable anger, depression or feelings of worthlessness. But sometimes you don't see them because they've become such a part of your life; then those demons may take the form of frequent struggles with a boss at work, a pervasive sense of emptiness, or a series of failed relationships. My work is about helping individuals and couples with their demons.

Throughout our lives we develop belief systems about how and who we 'should' be. These systems create thought, emotion, and behavior patterns that lead to an experience of separation and isolation. I view therapy as an odyssey that moves us back into intimate relationship with self and other.

Do you carry old hurts and wonder if you’re good enough? Maybe you struggle with feeling hopeless and unmotivated. You get stuck in cycles you don’t know how to break and feel like you make the same mistakes over and over. You feel overwhelmed with guilt and shame. Maybe you wonder if you’ll ever have healthy relationships. It’s tearing you down from the inside out because you just want to feel content within and connected to others. Whether you're married with kids or single and kid-free; hurt is hurt and you deserve peace.
