With me, you will learn to cope with your uncomfortable private experiences, you will learn the purpose of your behavior and you will learn to self-manage as well as relationship manage. Together, if you want, we can make you thrive in all areas of your life, including your relationships. If the problem in your relationship is about power and control (abuse of the mental, emotional, or physical types), couple therapy may not be adequate, appropriate or even safe for you. Relationships are complex and can be said to have multiple components that would need to be addressed.

I utilize EMDR, mind-body techniques, and personalized therapy virtually or in person.
The nature of your work as a first responder, 911 dispatcher, doctor, nurse or therapist involves frequent exposure to traumatic events either personally experienced or experienced vicariously through the person going through the trauma. This can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being and lead to burnout and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You may fear and actually face stigma and judgment when seeking help for mental health issues. You would give anything to feel "normal" again.

Are you fearful, overwhelmed, overthinking or having trouble sleeping? The emotional pain from trauma or anxiety prevents you from living your best life. Your brain has an adaptive ability to heal so that you feel better. I'll show you evidence-based interventions to manage your upsetting emotions, challenge negative beliefs and stop self-defeating behaviors. I've been a therapist for 25+ years, certified in EMDR and was trained in 1999 by Dr. Francine Shapiro who developed this technique. I also use skills from Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior “talk therapies” for clients who want to make positive changes without EMDR.

Everyday all of us struggle with multiple demands and expectations placed upon us, both externally and from within. Sometimes the demands become overwhelming, and we find ourselves experiencing a sense of sadness we cannot name, questioning our needs and wants, or wondering what our role is. Complexities in relationships create many challenges. Couples can find themselves struggling with a multitude of emotions that vacillate from love, joy and pleasure to disappointment, fear, anger and resentment. Learning how to develop and sustain a connected, fulfilling, intimate relationship can be difficult but well worth the investment.

I believe all people truly have the answers within themselves, but sometimes, we just need a little space to be able to find those answers.

Life is to short to settle for bad relationships, suffer from low self esteem, anxiety, addictions or depression. But often, finding the "right" therapist" to help you resolve these issues, can leave you feeling like you are looking for a needle in a haystack.

By helping you clarify your goals, and then by keeping each session focused on steps toward that goal, you can achieve the change you are looking for.
