I specialize in Sex & Porn addiction believe that everyone is entitled to have his or her own unique experience in therapy and that a strong individualized therapeutic relationship is central to the healing process. It is my goal to provide a safe and open space where clients feel comfortable freely expressing their thoughts and feelings, without judgment. I utilize EMDR to reduce the thoughts that motivate unhealthy behaviors and decrease distressing symptoms.

Is your relationship not living up to its fullest potential? Are you having trouble connecting with your partner? You’re not failing. A relationship isn’t a failure because you’re having trouble connecting. You’re just simply having a difficult time understanding one another. The truth is that we won’t always understand each other, as we each have our own distinct personalities, wants, needs, and desires. Relationships, intimate and familial, are such beautiful and powerful things, but they also come with a lot of stress. It is my ultimate goal to help you, help you and yours.

I enjoy working with a diverse population of people. I have had a lot of success working with individuals and couples with substance use issues and addictions as well as those with process addictions such as sex/pornography, gambling, etc. Many times, these addictions are rooted in trauma of some kind. Many times, they will manifest in mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and other pervasive disorders. I want the opportunity to help you navigate through those and beat them. We all know that life is difficult but it doesn't have to be this way everyday. Let's get started on finding who we are together and living life again.

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming and the pressure to be on top of everything can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. The stress of life can also lead to feelings of inadequacy and self defeat. My goal as a LCMHC is to listen without judgement, validate your feelings, and help you develop skills to manage stress. In my therapeutic practice, I adopt a person centered approach, valuing each client as a distinct individual. This allows me to tailor interventions to the needs of the client. I provide telehealth services to adult, female clients.

Children are facing experiences that leave them sad, worried, acting out, or simply withdrawn. Are you a young adult who is at a crossroad? Are you an adult who is dealing with a major life transition. Are you an athlete who would like to work through challenges on/off the field. I'm excited to partner with children and their families, adults and athletes to process challenges that interfere with everyday functioning.

Crossing waters is an excellent metaphor for the path that lies ahead in life's difficult situations. Desired destinations, unexpected storms, and unknown territory. Progress is possible and the land on the other side can hold great promise of new life, however, the journey is rarely easy and frequently comes at the cost of the familiar. It involves a willingness to work, a degree of risk, and trust in the process. My aim is to provide a safe place for the struggle inherent in change and growth. I will help you gain your bearings as we clarify where you are in your journey and develop a working plan for reaching the other side.

A colleague once told me that sometimes you just have to validate your client by saying "life sucks". Hi, welcome, I am happy you are here! I have been working in the field of mental health for over 20 years. My experience includes a variety of work settings, including community mental health, school guidance, contract mental health and private practice. Along with my psychiatric facility dog RUPP, I use an integrated, person-centered approach to therapy that first establishes therapeutic rapport to determine goals and objectives.
