Do you find yourself thinking "I need to see a therapist." Then realize that you have been thinking this for months but haven't been able to make an appointment because you're just too busy and overwhelmed. Do you look at your spouse and think where did the spark go? Can you remember the last time that you were happy and enjoyed any aspect of your day? Or are you done with watching your child struggle with social skills, feelings of anxiety or accepting "no" as an answer. Then its time to give us a call and start making the improvements and changes you want in your life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy and EMDR are the primary modalities I use to help clients meet their goals.
We often encounter obstacles we are not prepared for or travel down roads that do not lead where we hoped. Whether emotional pain comes from childhood, trauma, current stressors, loss, depression, phobias, anxiety, anger, life changes or relationships; I believe that everyone possesses the ability to recover and improve their quality of life. Working collaboratively, each client's personal values and goals are used to guide the course of therapy. Together, we will create a treatment plan that focuses on overcoming emotional and environmental barriers interfering with feeling present in life.

I specialize in using evidence-based therapies, including Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness-based approaches for individuals coping with trauma, stress, and or insomnia from high intensity jobs , illness/injury, or life/caregiving stressors.
I enjoy working with individuals who are eager to find new ways to meet challenges more effectively, particularly life transitions, healing from trauma, and recovery from anxiety, insomnia, and stress. Treatment is often short-term, focused on a few central goals, and aimed at increasing both individual well-being and interpersonal effectiveness. Often the work involves cultivation of mindful awareness, compassion, non-judgment, and kindness. In a collaborative, respective process, we learn when change-oriented skill-building is needed and when acceptance-oriented skill-building is called for to enhance the client's well-being.

Relying on more than 15 years of clinical experience, I treat depression, anxiety, and addictions, among other issues. While I utilize evidence-based treatments, I practice from a client-centered perspective. My approach rests on compassion, as I fundamentally practice from a humanistic slant. I go to great lengths to avoid the type of stigmatizing language that especially plagues the addiction industry. There are no "addicts."

Working through difficult experiences and emotions can be challenging. It can be even harder to make desired changes in ones life when certain patterns have been established for so long. I work hard to ensure that my clients feel safe and supported throughout this process. By creating a comfortable and lighthearted environment, individuals, families, and couples are able to gain some reprieve from the difficulties they are experiencing. This allows change to begin to occur in the lives of my clients.

Tired of feeling burned out? I am an expert in treating anxiety, trauma, addictions, sleep problems, but also qualified to evaluate a range of commonly co-occurring mental health conditions like depression. I do more than just talk therapy! At every visit, I teach evidenced-based skills that have been rigorously tested. I have developed a consultation style to therapy based on my experiences as a psychologist integrated in medical teams. This style allows me to consider treatment from multiple perspectives and this generally leads to earlier improvement, fewer overall visits, faster feedback and treatment ideas.

You wake up exhausted, and defeated. High anxiety, racing thoughts and loneliness overshadow every hint of joy in your life. As your energy plummets, small tasks become huge. Just talking seems like a chore. Irritability and exhaustion are a constant battle. Loved ones complain that you are removed and shutdown. You want to let them in, but it’s hard to trust anyone. It’s become impossible to turn off that negative voice in your head that keeps saying you aren’t doing enough. No one understands. Everything triggers you. The past is tied up with the present, your thoughts are dark, and you’re afraid of losing everything.
