I truly believe therapy can be a life changing and rewarding experience that anyone can benefit from. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to encourage honest communication and trust. While working with clients I focus on their strengths and incorporate a sense of humor that helps individuals feel comfortable and open to self exploration. I support clients along their journey of healing their pasts to a place of self acceptance and love in the present.

Feeling out of control and overwhelmed? Like your brain is stuck on repeat: “Why me? Why am I like this? Why can’t I change?” Experiencing emotional responses that leave you feeling ashamed, misunderstood or that something is wrong with you? You find yourself in chaotic relationships, overcompensating to fill a void. Lost and alone in your journey and mentally and emotionally isolated from others. At the end of the day you feel hopeless about finding relief. I recognize that traumatic experiences are a spectrum that we each experience uniquely. I treat trauma from a relational approach and focus on nervous system (co)regulation.

Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” I agree! Our stories are a part of who we are, and they shape our experiences. When we share our stories, we can heal from trauma, connect with others, and grow as individuals. I help individuals and couples explore the themes of attachment and connection in their stories, or lack thereof, which are essential to healing and growth. I use an attachment-focused lens to help you understand how your life experiences have shaped your current relationships and sense of self, so you can feel confident in your next chapter because you know the author.

Many of us feel like we are fighting several losing battles at once, often causing feelings of hollowness, sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety. This can make us feel like there’s no way to find our purpose or direction in life, impacting our relationships to others and ourselves. Navigating these struggles means more than addressing symptoms: we have to rediscover a sense of meaning. To do this, I blend together modalities that address trauma, identity, problem solving, and understanding our belief systems to best support the person from a place that is grounded and informed by their personal goals and priorities.

Attending California Institute of Integral Studies shaped my holistic approach to therapy: body, heart, mind and spirit. I use a systems approach when working with clients to see and understand how all areas of one’s life might be impacting them today. I have worked with hundreds of men and women over the last 20 years as a successful corporate leader in Human Resources and Organizational Development. In this “first career” I worked to create powerful change for teams in both their personal and professional lives.

One of the bravest things that you can do, is to advocate for yourself. This can also be one of the most challenging things.

As a client, you are the expert in your life, and with some guidance and support, you are able to achieve the goals that you set out for yourself.

I believe there is no greater journey than that of self-discovery.

My goal as a counselor is to create a safe space for you to explore your experiences and learn skills to support your continued growth and well-being.

I work with people who are ready to heal from their unresolved trauma. My clients might be experiencing other co-occurring mental health symptoms and/or substance use related to the trauma as well. This type of therapy can be emotionally intense, so it is important that the person is willing to face some discomfort in order to find the relief of healing. My clients insist on overcoming all of the things they have working against them in their lives. My clients are survivors and warriors who refuse to be held back by their trauma.
