I have been trained extensively in Structural Family Therapy, Systems Theory and trauma resolution.
"Only in an open non judgmental space can we acknowledge what we are feeling. Only in an open space where we're not caught up in our own version of reality can we see and hear and feel who others really are, which allows us to be with them and communicate with them properly." This quote by Pema Chodron, an American Buddhist Nun expresses the atmosphere I hope to create for clients seeking counseling services from me. For more than 30 years I have attempted to provide, through a collaborative dialogue services that will improve each clients quality of life.

Feeling misunderstood and unloved by those closest to us is living hell. Pain, hopelessness, and anger burrow deep as repair seems impossible. It's exhausting to cope with past trauma while trying to keep things together in the present. Any added stress, anxiety, or depression is overwhelming. Those of you with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are struggling with these symptoms simultaneously and it's unbearable. I specialize in relationship repair and borderline personality disorder. In family, individual, or marriage counseling I can help you heal, connect, and once again find hope.

Impact is my nature. It's been my desire to specialize with those clients who were dealt the most challenging of hands and don't have the time or patience for a more drawn out treatment. I take limited clients in order to be fully present with you. I've been known as a therapist for those who don't like therapy. I'm accustomed to working in areas of depressive episodes, panic and anxiety, broken family relationships, life stressors, parenting issues, abnormal psychiatric, spiritual issues, and traumatic experiences.

Trauma and other mental health struggles greatly affect our important relationships - and our relationships impact our mental health. Helping clients build healthy relationships is central to my therapeutic approach. Together, we'll foster self-understanding and self-compassion, uproot negative or limiting patterns that no longer serve you, and work collaboratively to discover your most authentic 'you.' We'll find ways to infuse a little humor, too!

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy and EMDR and integrate neuroscience-informed concepts into couples, individual, and parent-focused therapy.
My ideal clients are professionals in helping or leadership roles who face challenges in balancing their professional world, internal experiences, and family lives. We may be a good fit if you're looking for a therapist with a calm and warm demeanor who sharply attunes to the reasons you seek therapy. Clients who come to me may work with other therapists but come to me for intensive work in EMDR for trauma or work in family or couples relationships. Their goals may include feeling they have more control over what their mind and body perceive as a threat, how stress is experienced, or feeling less guarded in important relationships.
