I work with a myriad of trauma-informed approaches such as LENS neurofeedback, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing to recover your true resilience. LENS neurofeedback assists in restoring optimal brain health, while EMDR can aid in processing distressing memories. Somatic psychotherapy can help you become aware of how your body holds trauma, and assist you in releasing it. You can feel clear, free, and deeply connected to the world and others around you again. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, CPTSD or other traumas, I can help free you from old blockages and help to restore your original, true nature.

Most therapists will say they specialize in what you’re dealing with. Given my decades of experience, I have become fairly scrupulous about the clients I choose to work with. I see therapy as collaborative. If you’re ready to put in the work necessary for change, you’ve come to the right place. If the following sounds like you, feel free to reach out to me now: You know what you want to change in your life; you realize that a commitment to change means that most of the work is going to be on your end; and you're ready to trust in someone to partner with you.

I enjoy working with both adults and adolescents. Of the adults, many struggle with dissatisfaction in the midst of success. They see their life as good “on paper”, but still, they feel emptiness, or a lack of clear direction or purpose. For some, this looks like chronic anxiety, or symptoms of depression. Others struggle with compulsive shopping, eating, or substance use. Relationships are important to my clients. Many struggle with disconnection from their loved ones, their lives, or themselves. I help them to overcome barriers to connection, so that they can find more fulfillment.

Major transitions can simultaneously be the most destabilizing and the most dynamic times in our lives. Whether you are navigating a break up, a change in your career, the loss of a physical capacity that you previously took for granted, are becoming a parent, or are experiencing an emotional break down, you are given the rare opportunity to reckon with your past and reformulate both your understanding of yourself and the world around you. As your therapist I am here to assist you as you make sense of the past and discover who you are in the present.

What do you want to accomplish in therapy? A lot of people want to have less of something: anxiety, depression, anger, relationship conflict, and so forth. This is understandable. When things hurt us and get in our way, even if those things come from inside us, it’s very reasonable to want them to go away. But what if making thing go away has been the problem all along? Can you remember a time in your life when you felt strong, resilient, and resourceful? During this time, was your life free from problems? I’m guessing not. But you were probably were moving your feet in the direction of things that mattered to you at the time.

When we hold layers of unprocessed experience and emotions, life can feel very constricted. Often we're not even aware that's what's going on. We just feel stuck, and things have a way of feeling like an uphill struggle. That's because the accumulation of stress and overwhelming experiences in our life and relationships can create a new normal that is far removed from who we really are. It becomes harder to connect with our strengths, dreams, aliveness and power.
