As a certified RRT Practitioner and a CSAT offering psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR, and Rapid Resolution Therapy, I specialize in healing trauma as well as in sex, love, and relationship addiction. Counseling is, for me, about witnessing someone else's personal story and providing a safe place to experience the whole range of emotions. I provide a nurturing, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment in which to explore your issues. Together we will develop new strategies to help you deal with life's challenges so that you are better able to experience life's joys.

Trying to figure out how the puzzle pieces of life fit together is not easy. Relationships can be a beast. I will work with you to identify what’s most important to you while crystallizing your relationship goals in a manner that empowers you to incorporate actual skills into your everyday life and relationship. For example, improving communication, exploring intimacy, and the art of letting go of past traumas can allow you to discover what works for your unique relationship. Embrace the healing process, learn to set healthy boundaries, and communicate from a place of love.

Are you feeling frustrated & lost with everything that is going on in the world? Do you want to move forward and feel stuck? I believe every person should be able to live life to the fullest! However, negative life events, trauma, relationships and we, ourselves often get in the way of our happiness, peace and reaching our goals. I have been able to help people "get their lives back." I assist teens and adults with trauma, anxiety, addiction, relational issues, problems with family communication, and more. I want to offer hope, assistance, and empowerment as a result of working together to achieve these goals (EMDR therapist).

Have you been waiting and longing for a deeper connection with your love? Studies show the average couple waits 6 years before seeking professional help for marital problems. Also, couples have the same arguments over and over again, they just sound different. Whether it's conflict about chores, or a loud disagreement about disciplining the kids, each partner tends to grab onto their perspective, dig their heels in the sand, and proceed to try to get their partner to see their side, unsuccessfully. Unresolved conflicts usually get brushed under the rug, until they resurface at the next disagreement. Are you ready to break the cycle?

Do you struggle with overthinking, self doubt, or lacking trust in yourself? Do you often feel like an "imposter" and feel like everyone else knows exactly what they are doing but you feel lost? Are you a perfectionist who never feels good enough or like you are never accomplishing enough? Do feelings of low self confidence hinder you from believing in yourself and trusting your abilities? These are often signs of anxiety arising and keeping us stuck and unhappy.

Relationships are hard. Sometimes we experience anxiety around navigating a new relationship, or we’re trying to take our current relationship to the next level and we’re not sure what that next level is. For some of us, we’re experiencing so much frustration around being misunderstood or betrayed by our partner. For others, we just have so much tension in our relationship that it feels like we’re stuck in a never ending cycle of issues. It’s exhausting. So, how do we navigate the parts of us that want to connect and the parts of us that want to protect? I say, let's explore that together.

Accepting new clients! If you're looking for a therapist that is going to listen to understand while also helping you figure out causes and solutions to your struggles, then you have found the right therapist. If you're married or in a relationship that once was good and now is filled with hurt, fighting, misunderstanding, or loneliness, I know how to help. There is hope for your relationship, and I will give you the tools you need to build and maintain a happy and healthy relationship. If you are a person that is looking for individual therapy for yourself, I have experience and tools to help you in your journey, as well.

Maybe you want to stop using substances and aren't sure what that looks like. Whatever the difficulty, as your therapist, its my pleasure to come alongside and help navigate difficult times that life brings. The decision to attend therapy takes tremendous courage and I strive to create an open place for you to share your vulnerabilities, work towards lasting change, and feel understood and validated.

Navigating through life's challenges can feel daunting, but you don't have to go through it alone.

I am currently fully booked so not taking new clients. I will post an update here when I am able to accept new clients. I work with couples, families, individuals, children, teens, and groups who are struggling with communication, family relationships, couple's relationships, infidelity, grief and loss, divorce, family violence, sexual abuse, and sexual assault. Most people struggle in relationships with others at some point in their lives; this is part of being human. We can benefit from talking things through.

The clients I work with are striving to cultivate better relationships with the people around them or with themselves. Whether you are in a relationship (dating, engaged, or married) or you are attempting to engage in a more meaningful way with yourself, friends, family, or coworkers, my passion is helping you achieve these relational goals. I give couples the tools you need to get you out of negative communication and conflict resolution cycles and into deeper knowledge of yourself and each other. I also work with individuals who are struggling with perfectionistic tendencies, setting boundaries, and complicated family dynamics.

You can do this. I have faith in you and I offer a safe, non-judgmental place to heal. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction and loss. I enjoy helping teens, adults and families navigate life's stressors. A positive environment that promotes insight and empowerment is the foundation of my practice. The nature of therapy requires a strong alliance which I strive to create with my clients. I also offer Domestic Violence group counseling and Alcohol and Drug evaluations and referrals for recovery sites.

Making the decision to reach out for counseling can be a scary step to take, but it is often times the first step towards a healthy and happy life. You could be struggeling with a broken relationship, life stressors, loss/grief, depression, anxiety, or perhaps you can't describe how you feel, but you know it's just not "right". As a counselor, my goal is to provide a safe and warm environment for you to share your story with me, to work together to set goals, and to set off on a path towards healing and wholeness.
