My clients are ready to dig deep and grow. Some folks have been in therapy before and wish to continue the process of deep self-reflection to deal with new and old places where they might feel "stuck." Here you can update, strengthen or start from scratch to build a strong sense of Self that works in this ever more complicated world. You will find your voice and learn to use it in a constructive manner. I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, (KAP) Integration sessions following KAP, EMDR, and more traditional talk therapy. All clients must be currently vaccinated and boosted against Covid and the flu.

I have worked with clients of all ages and have effectively helped clients find relief from issues such as depression, sexual issues, anxiety, PTSD and communication difficulties. As a relational therapist, I work with couples and relationships of all types, including those in the LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and kink communities. I also have a great deal of experience working with adolescents suffering from trauma and, oftentimes find it helpful to involve other family members to assist in providing support for one another.

If your child or teen is struggling with their emotions, relationships, or behaviors, I can help. I can help your child or teen gain confidence, build self-esteem, change faulty thinking patterns, improve impulse control, and expand their emotional capacity. Children and teens face an incredible amount of stressors in their daily lives - school and social pressures, loneliness, cyber-bullying, the world of social media, substance use pressure, navigating relationships, learning to identify red flags, and trying to figure out what they stand for and how to be themselves in their world.

Things happen to us everyday which impact and change who we are and how we though the world. My twenty-five plus years of working in this field with individual's of diverse ages, cultures and back grounds have proven this to be true. I believe my role as a therapist is to support others in identifying "their" purpose while growing their mental, emotional and physical health. The passion for supporting others in the process of gaining insight and identifying positive changes toward their future is "my" purpose.

Hello & welcome! Clients find me open-minded, supportive, and able to help them find the solutions needed to make positive change. Teens, young adults, women, and families who benefit from working with me are interested in improving communication skills, working past negative patterns, and trauma to identifying new life goals. My therapeutic approach is an interweaving of strengths-based, solution-focused, and family-systems modalities. I often tell my clients, “you are the expert on your own life,” which means that I will work with you to identify ways to create the life you want - where your actions support your aspirations.

Note: Potential clients only, no soliciting. I have been a clinician in residential treatment for over 10 years. During that time, I treated adults of all ages with a myriad of issues. Since everyone's needs are different, I have learned to adapt my approach to the individual and their particular goals. Self-motivation to find healing is paramount to beginning the healing process. I primarily work with professionals and those willing to pursue treatment on their own. Additionally, I am a clinical supervisor and also work with Somatic Experiencing students to assist them with obtaining their certification. My practice is Telehealth.

It is important to me to develop trusting relationships with clients to help them with any issues they are facing. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental, comfortable space to collaborate with individuals on how to deal with or find solutions to life’s challenges. I believe that often we may know the solutions or have available resources that can help, but we just need assistance to discover them.

I honor what makes us unique and appreciate each individual experience. I believe we want to be our best selves and find happiness and enjoyment in our lives. Sometimes discovering what is hindering this growth is found in a supportive, therapeutic relationship. I am a Clinical Therapist with over 20 years of experience working with individuals healing from trauma and couples navigating relationship issues. I believe in the significance of aligning the mind and body and find that awareness of our somatic experiencing and parts (IFS) to be incredibly helpful in increasing feelings of connection, self-compassion and trust in Self.

In these unprecedented times, many people find that depression and anxiety have become daily challenges. For others, historic or recent traumas create problems such as flashbacks, panic, or poor self-concept. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have spent the last 28 years providing compassionate and effective psychotherapy to those who struggle with mental health and addictive disorders. I use approaches that include narrative therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge long-held negative beliefs and maladaptive behaviors that can interfere with recovery.

My interest in counseling grew out of my experience as a high school teacher who spent increasing hours listening to students and steering them into counseling. After a 20-year teaching career I moved into professional counseling. I combine cognitive-behavioral therapy with psycho education, chain analysis and elements of mindfulness, meditation, and motivational interviewing to help her clients become the freest and fullest version of their uniquely gifted selves.
