In our work together my clients heal from within. Why? Because with deep core work, you will change old familiar brain paths into newly chosen authentic brain paths. You will experience breakthrough counseling with tools for life, attaining deep self love, developing new ways of thinking and feeling, being in charge of your brain, fearlessly listening within, learning helpful communication, and understanding choices from a new perspective. Over 20 years in private practice I designed about 250 exercises to help my clients heal. For couples, we do the same core work. All but one couple found renewed love.

Does this sound like you? You’re tired of feeling stuck and are not sure of your next steps. You may not be in in crisis, but you want to manage stress, anxiety or depression, or you may be in a time of transition. Change can be hard and may even be a little scary, but you know you are ready for something different. You’re just not sure how to get there. Whether you know what the change is — or you are simply open to finding out. You don’t have to do it all alone. I’m here to help.

I am trained in EMDR for relief of trauma and both behavioral and psychodynamic/talking therapies which emphasize positive habits, good health and personal insight. Any change starts from within and sometimes we all need another perspective to grasp the whole picture so that problems or obstacles can be sensibly, sensitively and effectively handled. I work from a strengths-based orientation whereby the talents, skills, and interests can be identified. So we go from there, to where the individual learns to utilize those strengths in resolving problems, conflicts, stressors as well as finding sources of comfort, competence and confidence.

Many of my clients might consider themselves psychologically minded, insightful, and eager to work on self-exploration. My therapeutic approach is influenced by my background in life coaching, which brings a practical, solution-focused quality to the work we would do together. Paired with a process that slowly unwires conditioned patterns and facilitates courage, clarity, and self-understanding, the navigation of your internal and external worlds can become more peaceful and fulfilling. I frequently work with current or aspiring therapists, coaches, artists, creatives, wellness practitioners, and high achievers of all kinds.

Life’s difficult turns can motivate us to take action for change. You may have daily challenges with low moods, anxiety, problems with memory or concentration, trauma, chronic pain, or grief. Or maybe you have past experiences that continue to hurt you. Psychotherapy can become a valuable tool to address these challenges starting with where you are now. It can be an opportunity to assess your current situation, clarify your goals, and build skills that empower you toward increased well-being, better directions, and desired outcomes.

As a former collegiate athlete, I faced various challenges during my athletic career. As I navigated my recovery from injuries, I became aware of the various mental and physical obstacles that accompany recovering from an injury.

Effective psychotherapy is a collaborative process and begins with a motivated client and a well-trained clinician. Whether you're dealing with a challenging relationship, a frustrating career, or symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy can be a highly effective resource. In the first couple of sessions, I conduct an evaluation to familiarize myself with your presenting issues and history. We then take steps to hone skills you already have and to develop new strategies to help you navigate your life more successfully. Depending on your needs and preferences, we can work in a short-term model or on an open-ended basis.
