August 12, 2024 - Finally - no wait list! Now accepting new private pay clients and those with United Healthcare. Let’s talk trauma. Most of us have experienced a traumatic event during the course of our lives; how we recover is directly impacted by the kind of support you have in your life. Experiencing trauma & abuse could mean you have fewer internal resources to combat the impact. This can lead to unhealthy ways of dealing with the pain such as addictions, self-harm, destructive relationships, isolation. Through healthy connections and therapy, you can process traumatic experiences and find joy again.

I specialize in helping people more effectively manage stress and mood (anxiety and depression), strengthen relationships, cope with difficult people, work through a current crisis or past trauma, and learn to quiet the voice of your inner critic that falsely tells you that you're not enough.
Do you go to work each day with a knot of anxiety or dread in the pit of your stomach? Is your work stress affecting your confidence and spilling over into your personal life? Or maybe there are worries or emotional pain in your personal life that are also affecting your relationships or your work. Either way, I can help. We'll seek to better understand what's keeping you stuck, learn new strategies and identify your strengths to help you heal, overcome challenges and restore your confidence and well-being.

We offer an inviting location for you to explore life's challenges with the necessary trauma-sensitive support and complete lack of judgment and prejudice.
Life is difficult for all of us at times, and it can be normal to become stuck in survival mode following traumatic events or severe life stressors. My heartfelt passion is to facilitate the gap between these temporary survival modes of reaction and a lifestyle that has you or your loved one feeling safe and living in a way that feels unshakably true to yourself and your ideals.

I provide EMDR to assist individuals struggling with trauma & psychological distress.
Psychotherapy is for individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. Some individuals seek out therapy to improve their lives and to help recognize and remove barriers to a healthy lifestyle, relationships, and productivity. While others find that troubling symptoms of anxiety, depression, failed relationships, chronic pain, and loss are too intense to manage on their own. I work with individuals presenting with a range of emotional and psychological needs in a safe and respectful atmosphere. I respect and encourage individuals' motivation to change and help them develop their own internal resources to make lasting positive changes.

My expertise with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder also includes working with adults who have experienced more recent trauma (combat, domestic violence, assault, etc.
I believe psychotherapy is a mixture of psychoeducation (providing information to help people develop new coping and relationship skills), emotional processing (learning to identify and work through uncomfortable feelings), and corrective emotional experience (using the counseling relationship as a safe place to experiment with new interpersonal skills). I utilize a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (addressing how our thoughts and beliefs impact our emotional experience, self-image, and behavior); Family Systems Therapy (helping people gain insight into characteristic relationship patterns); and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (understanding how ways of coping developed earlier in life may not serve us well in the present).

The vast majority people who seek therapy have, through no fault of their own, suffered loss and trauma which has caused painful consequences for their lives. The best way to heal from those losses is to first have them accurately identified and then to be gradually helped to express one's thoughts and feelings about them to a supportive listener. With such support one's experiences are validated as real and one begins to recognize one's strength and courage under the most challenging of circumstances. The opportunity to speak the truth about the painful facts of one's life to a supportive therapist is what heals.
