I have extensive experience in working with people who have lived through less than ideal circumstances. Many of my clients have learned to overcome sexual abuse, have been able to move past the pains brought on by physical violence, many have worked through horrific memories of active duty, and others have learned to enjoy life even after making some poor decisions that will impact them forever.

I am dedicated to helping people overcome personal challenges, establish healthy balance and achieve lasting change through mindfulness-based approaches. These practices are very helpful for clients faced with issues such as anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress symptoms, depression, relationship/family issues, stress-related physical problems and life transitions. I have provided counseling services for over 35 years to children, teens, and adults and customize therapy to meet your specific needs and goals. To that end I have trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques, in the belief that no one size fits all.

You need to work on your trauma but the idea feels daunting. Trauma work can take months or even years, but it doesn't have to. I offer EMDR Intensives, an accelerated form of therapy, to help you feel better faster. EMDR Intensives are usually provided in day-long sessions (6 hours per day) over consecutive days. Instead of doing therapy once a week over a long period, intensives allow you to work through trauma over a few days. For some people, an EMDR Intensive can replace months of weekly therapy; for others, it can jump-start the healing process. You don’t have to wait - you can start feeling better right away!

You don't really like to talk about your childhood or maybe you don't even remember a lot of it. You know parts were bad, the fights, addictions, mental illness, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, maybe even the death of a loved one. You try to put it behind you but you struggle in your marriage and yell at the kids. Holidays are hard, and sometimes you wonder if it's even worth living. You overcompensate or try to be invisible, because that's how you learned to survive. You suffer from a sense of not being worthy or enough, but it doesn't have to be like that. Life can be good. You ARE worthy and you ARE enough.

When you have tried everything to help your child, and are still not seeing meaningful change, that is where I can help. I have worked in a variety of settings throughout my career, but my passion lies in working with preschool and elementary school children. Young children face unique challenges in learning to navigate the world around them, and benefit from having a supportive space outside of their daily lives where they can explore their inner worlds, while also learning how to interact appropriately in the outside world.

As a board certified licensed clinical psychologist, I exclusively utilize evidence-based treatments grounded in the science of behavioral health. I value collaboration and strive to ensure that treatment focuses on my clients' goals. Together we work towards a brighter future for your child and your family.

Going through the motions and feeling overwhelmed in day to day tasks and relationships can be exhausting. Your ability to be the person you once were can seem out of reach, or never even seems to have existed. The emotions you feel seem to be running the show and you desire change. Hopelessness, worry, and sadness do not have to be your story. You want to feel at peace, empowered, and confident. I can help you identify areas in your life that may be contributing to some of your current stressors, frustrations and relational challenges and how to move forward. I work with adolescents and adult women.

Life can be very difficult and stressful. Being well-adjusted is a worthwhile pursuit as we face the various challenging circumstances and relationships we find ourselves in. Counseling benefits from active listening, exploring and understanding the factors involved, and then collaboratively discovering helpful solutions to life’s problems.

We all have times where we need someone to listen. Sometimes, we don't even know why we feel unsettled. We are not broken or need to be fixed. We have the capacity to heal inside of ourselves. My job is to assist clients to find that voice inside, that "self" leadership that is our best guidance to our authentic self. I believe therapy is a parallel process where I walk next to you and I hold the space for your healing. Our work together is an opportunity for you to find your true north. Our work together will be what you want to accomplish and a deep discussion about your needs, issues and desires.
