I have been in the health/wellness field for 20+ years using strength based/holistic recovery approaches. Integrated/experiential therapy helps you re-claim your authentic spontaneous self, creating the life you wish to live. Addressing emotional/relational wounding truly opens the door to a more empowered and fulfilling life. You can increase your self-esteem and confidence, free yourself from depression/anxiety, negative self-talk, substance or process addictions, trauma triggers, and emotional reactivity in relationships. Sometimes therapy addresses current challenges/difficulties, sometimes it's about family of origin issues using inner child work, and/or trauma reduction work.

It’s essential to seek support, as these feelings can interfere with bonding and overall family dynamics.
Are you pregnant and overwhelmed by anxiety? You may be worried about the health and safety of the baby to fears about childbirth and parenting. Hormonal changes, physical discomfort, and the pressure to prepare for a new child can exacerbate these feelings. Possibly, you have past trauma with sexual assault/abuse or a traumatic birth experience adding to your anxiety. Understanding that anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum is a common struggle is the first step toward healing.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a certified Gestalt Therapist with 30 years of experience.
For those struggling with anxiety, depression, grief or relationship issues, it is often difficult to find balance and peace. We may at times be unable to find that balance on our own and choose to reach out for support. I see that reaching out as both courageous and healthy. I believe successful therapy is based on a strong relationship between a therapist and a client. You will find that I provide support, safety and a nurturing environment as we explore issues and work together to facilitate growth and self-awareness.

My clients come to therapy motivated by the desire for change and because of one or more of the following issues: anger, anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, grief and loss, relationship issues and trauma. The therapeutic progress provides the opportunity to reflect on one's life, to understand one's feelings, thoughts, behaviors and motivations, to realize new perspectives and to be listened to with respect and attention. Psychotherapy allows for the healing of wounds, reclaiming of dreams and living a life that is more authentic and meaningful.

I am well versed in family of origin work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness training and self psychology.
Seeking help to deal with issues in your life takes lots of courage. I respect that greatly. Often the first step of committing to counseling is the biggest hurdle. Whether it's relationship problems, coping with loss or transitions, anxiety, depression, self esteem concerns, there are times when professional assistance can really help. Sometimes counseling goals are accomplished quickly and other times there is a need for longer term and deeper work. I have the training and expertise to do both.

My specialty is trauma healing (Advanced EMDR, TRE, Trauma-CBT) and includes healing those breaks in developmental attachments with our family that lead to intense emotional states, as well as incidents of trauma that eventually lead us to avoid special parts of our life.
Are you looking for the power to heal yourself and explore new ways of being? Often, we need some guidance to learn how to do that with a little help. If you are stalled in your hopes or frozen in fear, if your life feels drained of its essence, and if your state-of-being continues to spiral downward, your very being can become filled with anxiety, depression, leading to hopelessness and despair. My therapeutic foundation empowers you to recognize your blocks, provides you a safe place to regain your lost power, and offers a new perspective to change the course of your life.

Change is a process and not an event. Whether you interested in establishing a new relationship to substances, addressing relapse, or have been sober for a while and want to work on underlying issues, I welcome you.

I specialize in co-occurring disorders including Trauma, Depression, Bi-polar Disorder, and Anxiety. I have over twenty five years of personal and professional experience in addiction recovery.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
