In my practice, I provide the necessary emotional environment that is conducive to healing and use the most advanced proven therapeutic tools for my clients. I believe that any adverse life event can overwhelm the normal adaptive capacity of any person at any age. Untreated, it can lead to the development of dysfunctional behaviors, feelings, and thoughts, such as depression, anxiety, obsession, negative self-talk, low self esteem, procrastination, PTSD, anger & relationship issues, among others. I also believe that everyone has the innate healing capacity to overcome these issues with the help of an experienced professional.

I really enjoy working with marriage/family/parent-child relationships in a safe, non-judgmental way that opens up communication and eases tension/conflict. In therapy, I'm active, direct, integrative/creative, encouraging, and compassionate. I engage with you as a partner in identifying what works for you, acting on it, and following through. I enjoy coordinating treatment with other providers/helpers/support people. I'm skilled in working with gifted/talented individuals, soul-searching, and addiction/recovery. I have a passion for what I do, and I live it as a vocation/calling not just a job.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. My goal at Epiphany Counseling is to make that choice easier by creating the empathy, nurturance and safety that allows you to freely explore the life situation that brings you to therapy. In that environment, I aim to help you experience a healing process that will restore hope, health and vitality to your life. I believe that almost all of us have the organic capacity to heal and fulfill our potential, but that past experiences have taught us dysfunctional ways to cope. The goal of therapy is to learn new ways of being so that we attain greater health, peace of mind and joy.

KAP is a powerful healing tool that combines the healing and transformative properties of ketamine with the use of deeper psychotherapy to get to core feelings and rewire emotional memories, resulting in long-term improvement of a number of mental health conditions. For many who feel like they have tried everything, KAP offers their first experience of real relief.

We hold the innate ability to discover and realize our true potential and live an authentic life in line with our deepest values. I view therapy as a shared, supportive, compassionate journey that can help you tune into your authentic self, develop attainable goals and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. By holistically addressing and integrating mind, body and spirit, all kinds of challenges-depression, anxiety, divorce, stress, relationship issues, grief, life transitions, and trauma-can be better understood and overcome.

As a psychotherapist I am passionate about supporting clients in a safe and non-judgmental space. I am a whole person-focused, trauma informed clinician who believes everyone has the power within themselves to heal. As a strength-based clinician I choose not to focus on what isn’t working while reducing a person to a diagnosis. I honor and respect that everyone I work with has a personal story and unique life experiences that have resulted in both struggle and strength. Therapy may provide the space for each individual to cultivate true life satisfaction.

Learn in a nurturing therapeutic environment, discover tools for self-development and gain pragmatic skills to enhance the fullness of your life. While the old age adage asks "glass half full or half empty?" my personal mantra is "why not change the size of the container so your glass is always full!" Perhaps you are experiencing a time when you are unable to move beyond your current level of awareness and/or seeing limited growth? It is with your full potential in mind that I choose to incorporate not only "talk therapy", but also integrative depth psychological practices such as dream work into the clinical setting.
