Experiences from our past or present have a way of affecting us in more manners than we can imagine. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or no longer yourself. Maybe you're drinking too much just to cope. You know you need real solutions to your problems, but you've been unsure of where to begin. When life feels too hard to manage alone, the decision to ask for help requires strength, courage, and a teammate. Therapy can help.

I'm a retired Navy Drug/Alcohol Counselor with 24 years' experience in varied clinical settings. Now I have my own private practice in a quiet, peaceful setting. This is not fast food nor a high-volume dealership. I offer counseling/psychotherapy in a friendly, supportive, non-hurried, non-judgmental environment. I'm an optimist. I listen, assist, guide, teach and help others to the best of my abilities. Depression, anxiety, substance misuse, Diabetes and other health issues plus general life issues do not define a person. Change is possible. My hope is to help each client in my practice attain their personal goals.

Thank you for reading my bio. I am passionate about helping clients discover their truest selves, beneath the layers of life’s experiences, traumas, and negative beliefs. Through talking, we discover the problem… then we need to do something about it. Utilizing specific trauma release techniques such as somatic experiencing, EMDR, and mindfulness and therapeutic yoga, I have seen amazing shifts in a fairly short amount of time. Whatever your goal, we can work together to achieve balance and lasting change.

I am still accepting new individuals, couples, & families. I am a member of PsyPact, which allows me to do telehealth in most states (great for college students, people who travel for work, etc). I have an interest in helping young adults and adults through difficult life transitions and working through the constantly changing ways that we identify and see ourselves as it relates to parenthood, relationships, health, and work, among other things. I also specialize in working with college students and athletes. I help people figure out who they want to be, which might be different from who others think they "should" be.

Finding a new therapist can be hard. I believe that the most important part of therapy is having the right fit with the right therapist. In order to be open to the process you have to feel comfortable with your provider. Therapy should be a tool to find personal strengths and develop new resources. Therapy is a good place to start looking at where you might be stuck and searching for new strategies to add to your life. I hope that I can be a part of your journey.

Are you struggling through a difficult life transition? Are you in need of a safe space to process and explore your feelings? During those times it can be helpful to talk to someone who is encouraging, but also accepting of life's challenges. Most of us find ourselves overwhelmed or struggling at some point in our lives. Therapy can be the start, or a continuation of your journey. I believe in creating a therapy experience tailored to your individual needs, and that choosing a therapist that is the right fit for you is crucial to getting the most out of your experience.

Offering both individual and family therapy, I’ve spent 25 years in the field passionately guiding adults, teens, and children (as young as 5) along their journey to wellness. I particularly love incorporating creative modalities including the use of sand trays, puppet play, games, and other crafts. These are all powerful tools to help teach kids essential skills in concrete ways. When working with youth, parents most often become a critical part of treatment planning, actively participating in skills building activities with the child in treatment. My work with adults often involves parent support and/or individual counseling.
