It can be a very scary feeling to take the first step towards therapy for you or your loved ones, and it takes courage and strength to ask for help. You are now taking those all-important first steps! You may be experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and hopelessness, just to mention a few on a very long list of not-so-good feelings. Any of these feelings can make you feel stressed, unmotivated, and not knowing how to move forward.

I focus on learning who a person is uniquely, and I take an active role in treatment, offering genuine warmth and support as well as practical feedback. I draw from various theoretical approaches but commonly use cognitive behavioral therapy, mindful self-compassion, exposure response prevention, and internal family systems. As a licensed clinical social worker I have had the pleasure of working in cities across the United States with a wide range of individuals from a variety of backgrounds.

I imagine you're seeking a psychotherapist for counseling because you hope to make some important changes. Success working with a psychologist depends on you feeling comfortable engaging in a collaborative manner with her. Some therapy sessions may be difficult as you ask important questions about yourself, how you function in the world. As you proceed, you may experience frustration, confusion, anxiety, self-doubt and/or conflicted feelings, but at the end of your psychotherapy you'll most likely have learned something new to help you with the concerns that brought you in to seek psychological treatment.

As a former police officer, I have an understanding of what first responders experience in their day-to-day lives.

As humans we have a need for connection and growth. At times the circumstances of our lives encroach, making this difficult to achieve. As we grow our relationship, by your design, we will work through issues, bringing you to a greater freedom and peace. For clients with experiences in trauma or abuse, we will work to allow you to live alongside your experiences, rather than being activated within them. I employ a psycho dynamic approach and welcome the exploration of family systems and their impact on our present self. From this understanding, we address current concerns and explore means of resolution to achieve therapeutic goals.
