You've sought me out for counseling because you experience a significant discrepancy in your life between how you feel and how you'd like to feel. You're seeking to have positive mental health, that is, to know yourself, to be yourself, to expand your capacity to care for yourself and others and your world, to maintain humility, and to maintain hope. You're aware of the fluctuating nature of your functionality: at times you function well, and at other times you don't function as well as you'd like to. You're aware that, at times, you have experienced distress, that is, difficult life moments. You're ready to create a better life.

As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I appreciate how core wounds, and the emotional distress surrounding them, can show up in adulthood and prevent us from living our happiest lives. My focus is on helping individuals to realize their power to feel safe in regulating emotions. In my work, I utilize approaches such as CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and SE (Somatic Experiencing), and enjoy the practice of destigmatizing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, thereby assisting my clients in developing self-compassion, a key ingredient for growth and change.

Is purity culture or religious messaging preventing you from dating, sex, and healthy relationships? Have you rejected old religious beliefs but feel "stuck" making your new beliefs a reality? I help millennials like you by using a holistic approach to therapy. I combine CBT, IFS therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices like nervous system regulation to heal at the root of your issues; cultivate self compassion; create new, healthy relationships; and step into your sexual liberation era. I also offer CPT Intensives for those who want to heal NOW and don't want to spend months or even years in the traditional therapy model.

I specialize in meeting the needs of creative individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues. Because I am the author of ten critically acclaimed books, I also work with aspiring writers, helping them to gain publication. My work is intensely relational and always focused on real results. I believe that clients are paying for a service and that they deserve to see measurable and lasting change. Along these same lines, my treatment is often relatively brief. We identify the problem(s) and the steps to change along with a timeline for these steps. Clients become active agents in their own recoveries.

I believe that we all have the potential within ourselves to build a satisfying life, with physical and emotional health, fulfilling pursuits and loving relationships. There are many factors that can negatively affect our ability to do this, including developmental/biological factors, trauma, addictions, and life stressors. I help people who feel stuck in negative patterns and emotional pain to find their inner strengths and wisdom - the life force we all possess - and to guide and support them in achieving their goals. People find me warm, engaging, knowledgable, dedicated, compassionate, and playful.

I welcome working with adults of all ages to explore challenges of major life transitions, which often involve anxiety, depression, grief, or anger. For clients who want to better manage stress, I teach and coach self-regulation techniques to help build resilience. I partner with those who wish to understand themselves better, treat themselves better, and live more satisfying and meaningful lives. Many find that talking with a therapist helps them to identify their feelings, improve communication and connection to others, find the strength to make necessary changes, and to live a more authentic life.

My therapeutic approach may look different depending on what is going on with the person and what his or her needs are, but I generally use an insight-oriented and cognitive approach. I help people figure things out, understand themselves better, sort out their thoughts and feelings, and gain perspective on themselves so that they are able to make effective choices in their lives and work towards greater emotional well-being. People generally describe me as having a calming presence and creating a safe environment for them.
