I use experiential and integrative approaches such as Brainspotting, and EMDR to resolve the effects of distressing past experiences (trauma) & internal blocks.
You deserve a welcoming space that allows you to feel encouraged, understood, valued, and capable of positive change. As a therapist, and fellow human, I know how stressful and confusing life can be. Painful past events can leave us defeated and disconnected. Major life transitions can be overwhelming. Depression & anxiety can rob us of vitality and mental peace. Great healing can happen through safe & genuine connection to another. Sessions with me are peppered with moments of humor, gentle directness, and deep realness.

I use EMDR to treat trauma as a stand-alone issue or in conjunction with eating disorder treatment.
Are you often feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Are you struggling with relationship issues, low self-esteem, trauma, PTSD, grief, or stress? Have you realized you are relying on food to change how you're feeling? If so, food has become your crutch and it's no different than using alcohol or drugs to numb, distract, and avoid dealing with the real underlying issue. And just like any other crutch, addiction or distraction, food will not solve the underlying problem. I am here to help you uncover the underlying issue, heal the hurt, restore balanced eating and create a sense of well-being.

I utilize various treatment options, including: CBT, DBT skills, SFBT, and EMDR.
I am a therapist because I want to help people who are wanting change. The goal of therapy should be about identifying real problems and working on effective solutions. This can be a scary process for clients, so I operate from a constant place of non-judgment and unconditional positive regard. My goal is to help you find your own solutions to your problems, with me serving as guide along the way. Therapy doesn’t need to be long term, scary, or overwhelming. I can offer a safe place to explore your problems, gain insight into your thoughts and emotions, and work together on finding effective solutions that are realistic and doable.

While I have specialized training in EMDR & Critical Incident Stress Management, my work is also informed by art, dreams, and symbols.
My 40 year professional career has spanned a range of human problems from couple's conflict to trauma recovery. I have come to understand that whether a person is grappling with depression or chronic illness there is an opportunity for greater understanding of themselves, and by extension, of what it means to be a whole & complete human being in the world.

We do not believe that one solution, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or EMDR, works for everyone.
We are the therapy office for people who don't like therapy. Our belief is that therapy doesn't have to be the uncomfortable, somewhat formal experience that most people expect. We have 2 therapy dogs, Jackson and Larry to greet you when you come in the door. Larry is Jackson's understudy and is still quite ..well ... enthusiastic in greeting clients (as long as you're not the mailman). For privacy, we have no on Mendocino Ave, but once you get inside you'll know that you're in the right place. We talk to you like one human to another to help you sort out what's going on in your world and how we can help.
