“Change Your Thoughts and You’ll Change Your World”. My goal is to offer and provide support within the therapeutic relationship that allows for you to gain insight on discovering your needs. I believe everyone needs support but struggles with how to ask for help. In my practices I provide the time and space for you to feel heard, supported, and most importantly I provide empathy. Empathy is a powerful word as it defines the ability to sense other people’s emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone might be thinking or feeling. I always try to create a warm, heartening, and empathetic environment with every client.

As a first responder, you encounter trauma and loss during your time on the job. You find yourself plagued by anger, disbelief, sadness, guilt and flashbacks and start becoming emotionally numb. It's hard to shut your mind off or sleep so you try to cope with alcohol, dark humor, passive-aggressive behavior, or avoidance. Your relationships suffer and it begins to feel hopeless. You can't show weakness and you feel reluctant to get help because of the stigma of it all. But, it is time to live differently and you are ready to seek help in a private and confidential setting.

Substance use is causing problems in your relationships. You find yourself continuing to use substance's even when you feel the chaotic loss of control, a sense of being worthless, hopeless, isolated, and lost, all while having an intense craving, and only feeling fleeting pleasure?

You are not sure how to change this cycle, your relationship may be at risk. but you have no idea how to do it differently. But, you're ready to make a change. You're no longer going to let substances get in the way of your relationship.

I provide psychological services to individuals experiencing difficulties with: anxiety, depression, AD/HD, high functioning Autism, trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, grief, and relationship difficulties. Additionally, I provide supportive integrative health coaching (as a part of psychological services), for those who experience chronic physical conditions that can interrupt or impact quality of life (ie: pain, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, etc).

When it comes to our mental health and our relationships, often we believe that it is better to say nothing and go with the flow. That enduring through difficult times and biting the bullet is better than using our voices to disrupt the cycle of dysfunction around us. Using our voice can be incredibly difficult and at times feel so awkward because we have become used to suffocating our emotions. It is okay to have feelings. It is okay to want change. The true measure of strength is not our ability to endure dysfunction but having the courage to stand up and say, “It stops here.” I can help.

I help those who wish to overcome the myriad cognitive and physiological influences of interpersonal trauma. My practice concentrates on victims / survivors of domestic violence, as well as abusive partners who wish to grow and enhance the quality of their lives and relationships.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, past trauma, parenting, couple or family conflict, contact me, I may be able to help you. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, gay and lesbian.
