I am a licensed clinical therapist (masters degree in social work) specializing in helping people deal with unresolved trauma, childhood issues, current events that might be causing anxiety, relationship problems, and helping people to realize their fullest potential. I have over 10 years experience working with people who suffer from mental health issues/concerns, substance abuse, trauma, attachment issues, and I with work well with people who have an idea about what their goals for therapy are or with those who are open to figuring out what their goals might be.
I offer an objective, confidential and informed perspective on trauma, coping styles and skills, communication, lifestyle, and symptom resolution and symptom management. We can discuss using effective therapies (EMDR, IFS, DBT, and more) designed to cut through old patterns that no longer serve you so you can engage life with a newer, healthier outlook.
I am available most days for a phone consult and will try to get back to you within 24 hours to help determine if we are a good fit. My hours of operation are M-Th, 9am-4pm. Please feel free to call or email for a free, zero obligation phone consultation. I look forward to our work together.

With successful treatment you can expect to gain a much improved sense of self, the ability to establish and maintain healthy boundaries, and a more developed sense of direction. Alleviation of flashbacks, nightmares, and unwanted intrusive thoughts are benefits of successful trauma treatment while conceptualization of values and development of action steps are benefits of future oriented therapy.

In your first few sessions, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. Using a combination of therapies (Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and/or Internal Family Systems), we'll get to the core of the issue and resolve it from the inside-out.
