Is your teen struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, disordered eating, self-acceptance, or peer issues? Do they seem to be losing self-confidence & self-esteem? Is this taking a toll on their well being, but you're at a loss? Being a teen is so hard and parenting teens can feel even harder! I am raising my own teens and I also remember what it was like to be a struggling teen, so I'm here to help. I guide teens to self-empowerment in a safe and inclusive space through Teens Rising Empowerment Programs(TM) and individual psychotherapy. I also support parents who are struggling with their own issues or parenting their children.

The individuals and couples I work with have the sense they are feeling disconnected, this may be disconnection from self or others. Disconnection from our emotions, experiences, physical responses, and relationships can be incredibly troubling. Many people I work with identify feeling self-doubt, anxiety, overwhelm, loss of identity, conflict in relationships, loss of intimacy, and loneliness. In an individual or relational setting we can collaborate to create a therapeutic space that allows you to explore these experiences and develop a better understanding of the tools you already possess to overcome this sense of disconnection.

I derive deep satisfaction from helping individuals in their journey toward healing, particularly following life's trials. Life is an unpredictable journey, blending joyous moments and painful experiences. There are instances when the accumulation of these difficulties can lead to feelings of uncertainty, insecurity, and unfulfillment. It's a universal experience sometimes to lose our sense of stability. I am well-acquainted with themes such as death, trauma, bereavement, terminal illness, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and combat. I love working with people who intuitively know something is misaligned and are willing to entrust.

I love working with individuals who are seeking to make big changes in their life. Changing ourselves is no easy task and it is my honor to support you as you move towards the person you want to be. This change takes tremendous courage and leaning into the dark and difficult parts of ourselves in order to heal and transform. Looking at the pain can free you from the patterns that helped you survive but are now holding you back from living the life you want. With tender compassion we can integrate the painful parts and find ways to move forward and heal. I specialize in complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

It's hard being a human, and sometimes we experience a great deal of suffering. The pleasant news is the body/mind and human spirit have the innate capacity to heal. Yes, even when it feels like you're totally stuck, when your nervous system is overwhelmed, and things seem to be falling apart around you. Perhaps it's been years or decades feeling like you're fighting against the current of life. Maybe its more recent events and circumstances have activated an energetic buzz of fear/anxiety/grief/longing... Whatever the case may be, you're here NOW.

I help people who have tried lots of things to feel better, but are still having trouble making changes. If you struggle with any of the following, I can help: feeling like your emotions overwhelm you, frequent ups and downs in your relationships, problems with anger, addictive or compulsive behavior, self-harm, feelings of hopelessness or depression, and the after-effects of trauma. These struggles do not have to be a part of your life forever. I provide compassionate and effective therapy that will help you learn new skills and launch you in the direction you want to be moving.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I have a heart for working with adults seeking recovery from sex and porn addiction. Notably, porn addiction has accelerated over the last 20 years because of the Internet. Typically, sex and porn addicts also experience compulsivity regarding drug and alcohol use. Fundamentally, people use sex or drugs to medicate against anxiety and depression resulting from traumas.

Relationships are complex but thankfully, a source of so much information. They can promote a sense of safety and joy but can also devolve into toxicity and self-abandonment; the way we perceive others and navigate the world today has its roots in our early relationships and experiences. There is value in exploring our family of origin as a vehicle for understanding ourselves and the obstacles we face while in relationship. A universal goal for my clients is increased insight into themselves that fosters healing, personal growth, fulfilling relationships and intentional living.

Thank you for your interest in working with me. Whether it is an acute issue, or a longstanding difficulty, you will feel my well honed skills as we navigate forward.

If this is a time of transition, psychotherapy can often help with clarification of values and goals. Let yourself have some support, and give me a call.

In order to heal, I believe we need a nonjudgmental space to look at the hard stuff that's not working, recognize how it has worked in the past, and identify changes. My role is to encourage and empower you to make these meaningful changes in your life so you can move from surviving to thriving.

I genuinely believe that no matter what you’ve gone through, you have immense potential to thrive. Through our sessions, I help clients identify the parts of themselves that have mastered the art of distraction, denial and destruction. However insight into an issue is only one part of the process. I partner with my clients to empower them with the tools they need to challenge unwanted patterns, to overcome dips in confidence and to show up as their most authentic selves in every space and relationship they occupy.

I have been working with parents and children for 20 years and I specialize in finding the underlying causes of behavior in order to help children develop an identity as competent and confident young people. When working with and supporting parents, we will develop plans together to help build the skills necessary to modify behavioral outcomes in home and school settings. I work from a solutions-focused perspective that can hopefully generate some quick action steps in addition to the underlying work on causes, building self-esteem, and developing identity.
