Relationships are the foundation of our lives. Through the quality of our connections with those we care about, we can feel as though we are thriving or they can leave us feeling isolated and alone. Working to strengthen or rebuild connections with others and with ourselves is extremely important to creating a sense of support and acceptance. If our foundation feels secure and safe, we can then allow ourselves to thrive in other areas of our lives. I have special training in relational therapy and how to strengthen these "systems" and the influence they have on our lives.

Rapid Eye Technology (RET) is a powerful ocular-assisted stress relief technique and a leading modality in treating PTSD symptoms. This powerful quick release happens without reliving the trauma. RET simulates REM sleep—your body’s own natural release system where problems are solved. Accessing the whole mind/body system while in an awake state allows you to be in control of your own journey; you now have your conscious mind to make a new choice concerning presenting issues. It's all part of your natural discharge mechanism and helps in repairing neural pathways that have been distorted by traumatic memories.

I am passionate about mental health, wellness and quality of life. I have been a licensed therapist since 2001 and have 26 plus years of experience working in the mental health field.

Distressing symptoms in the present often are from situations in the past which when addressed people report feeling free in the present to become their authentic selves and accomplish their goals. I wanted to become better prepared and so studied beyond basic EMDR training to become a Certified EMDR Therapist with the International Association (EMDRIA). Primarily I work with veterans, adults, young adults and seniors that struggle with past unresolved trauma or distress, PTSD, over reactions, anger, depression, anxiety and fear, impulsivity, low self esteem and confidence, emotional mood swings, as well as aging issues.

The weight of emotional pain can be unbearable and lonely. It is difficult, impossible even, to envision feeling better, feeling fulfilled, feeling connected or just feeling like yourself again. These emotions may result from substance use/abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, or life/work stressors. I understand how daunting this first step can be and I provide a safe, warm space to help you make your way through this and find your healthy path.

The loneliness and disconnection from ourselves that we experience can be overwhelming. Sometimes it is hard to know where to begin when we feel stuck, fragmented, or far away. As a counselor, it is my goal to be safe company for you while you reawaken to your inner wisdom.

I help individuals who want to live their best life, free from the burdens of physical and emotional pain. Whether this is your first time entertaining the idea of therapy, or you’ve been on a journey for a while seeking growth and healing with professional guidance. Regardless of your circumstances, among other emotions, you’re likely feeling a level of frustration in this moment. I’m here to tell you that frustration is good. Yes, you read that right! Frustration is where learning begins and can be a strong motivator and catalyst for change.

I have always had a genuine interest in the uniqueness and well-being of others. I believe that we can all grow from the situations we have experienced. Whether that experience be divorce, abuse, addiction, or trauma of some sort. Our brains & bodies have a way of healing themselves through processing. Certain experiences can cause us to feel alone, anxious, sad, depressed, unmotivated, angry, violated, exposed, and at times emotionally unstable. Here in therapy I walk the journey with you as we work through emotions, gain insight, and create more beneficial perspectives. I provide a space of safety, understanding, and compassion.

Do you find yourself repeating the same cycles and behaviors, feeling out of control or victim to your circumstances? Feeling seemingly unable to think, behave, or choose differently? Are you ready to commit and invest in yourself and regain control? These powerful cycles that consume us indicate something important - we as human beings are driven to repeat what we have not resolved. Pervasive and unaddressed emotions are often the culprit of these vicious cycles, demanding to be tended to and released so the system can function more in health.
