You think you're handling things, but then somewhere along the way, you've lost your grip. You can't sleep, you can't calm yourself down, and it seems like everyday stress deeply impacts you. You've tried but you can't reason with your thoughts. You know they're dark, or dramatic, or too anxious, but you can't seem to stop the cycle. Maybe it's impacting you internally only. Maybe it's affecting your work. Maybe you're losing friendships or relationships because of the emotions that take over so easily. It's exhausting. Whatever the case, you know it's time for help. Surely somebody knows the way out of this mess.

I see both first responders as well as non first responders in my practice. I find that one of the most important elements to good therapy is a good match between the therapist and client. I encourage anyone looking into therapy to schedule a free consultation call to ensure that we are a good match! It may also help to listen to a few of my podcast episodes to get a feel for my personality and approaches to treatment. I work with young adults (16 and up) as well as adults to help process trauma, anxiety, depression, and social and relational issues.

You want to appear successful and like you have it "all together" but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or effectively cope with daily stressors. You may be fed up with feeling unimportant and overthinking everything. You might not even remember a time things didn't feel this way. One thing you do know is that you're ready for change. You're ready to live your life confidently without questioning every decision you make. You're ready to start putting yourself first without feeling guilty. Most of all, you're ready to love yourself and take control of your life again.

My practice is focused on helping individuals break free of unhealthy patterns, generational traumas, and toxic cycles. Clients in my practice are often looking for support around getting "unstuck" and feel the need for additional modalities because traditional talk therapy alone has not helped. I bring a compassionate, balanced, grounded, and evidence-based approach to sessions that allows clients to unpack what is going on in a safe and supportive environment. My goal is to help clients create trust and safety in themselves and build secure relationships with others and the world around them.

EVENING APPTS. I chose a PhD in Clinical Psychology in order to help individuals suffering with the emotional pain and upheaval that life's ups and downs can bring. I enjoy a close working relationship and collaborative trust based connection with my patients, which brings the reward of personal growth and stimulates the healing process. With more than 28 years in the mental health profession, and 25+ years in private practice, I continue working to expand my education and experience to include a wide variety of psychotherapeutical skill sets.

As humans, we are incredibly resilient; able to bear seemingly unbearable hurt, pain, and wounding experiences. However, our pain is not meant to be held alone- as we need a present and safe other to help us hold all that has been endured. I believe that therapy takes place within this precise context where your experiences and feelings have a dwelling place to be explored, processed, and held in the therapeutic relationship. It is with the intention of exploration, rather than expectation, that we work together- where experiences that may have not had a home before, can be tended to in newfound and meaningful ways.

Many of us don’t realize how negative events from our childhood affect the quality of our lives. You wake up most days feeling worthless, angry, fearful, anxious, insecure, and sad. These feelings negatively affect your behavior … you are unmotivated, impulsive, reactive, and take too many risks. These behaviors are negatively affecting every aspect of your life. Bills are piling up, you go from one job to the next, one relationship to the next, and may even be abusing drugs and alcohol. I treat symptoms of childhood developmental trauma/complex PTSD, (i.,e., anxiety, depression, and dissociative disorders).
