I appreciate the variety and have the skills to help a wide range of patients, but I'm especially useful with patients who've had problems connecting with other therapists. I'm very familiar with physical and sexual abuse, but also with alienation and with spiritual and emotional trauma. Adoption and attachment issues are also a special interest. I'm trained and certified (Level II) in EMDR and DNMS, trauma-based treatments for people whose developmental needs were not met as children. I have extensive experience working with PTSD and dissociative patients, but also with "plain vanilla" folks -- of varying ethnicities -- challenged by difficult circumstances.

If you're experiencing a major life transition, thinking about making a change, or feeling unfulfilled in your daily life, seeking therapy can help. I understand that change and growth can often be uncomfortable. By working with me, you can expect a safe and understanding place to explore current and past difficulties, process emotions, and achieve holistic wellbeing. I have training in art therapy, mindfulness, meditation, and trauma-informed approaches. I offer traditional talk counseling and art therapy to teens and adults experiencing life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem issues.

Have you ever felt like you weren’t being heard? That others don’t really understand what you are going through? Or perhaps they do listen, only to give you unsolicited advice in an attempt to be helpful. Perhaps you want focus on problems related to alcohol and substance use, communication skills, or relationship concerns. Maybe your most urgent concern is alleviating symptoms of depression, anxiety, and grief. Or, you may be grappling with overwhelming life questions that either don't make sense or seem to have no answers.

I remember many years ago, while in graduate school, a professor stating that the client may not remember the therapist's words but will remember the connection or alliance that was forged. This statement speaks to the fact that fundamentally it is the working relationship which drives change. Therefore, it is extremely important that you find a therapist who strives to "get you."

I provide basic mental health counseling and psychoeducational services to pediatric and adult populations between the ages of 10 and adult. Specifically, I serve persons with general mental health concerns and who have experienced trauma. I believe there is a significant interplay between cognition, affect, and behaviors. A person who is able to successfully restructure cognition through understanding of their needs will be successful in making behavioral, and affective changes with lasting success and improved mental health wellbeing.

I work with clients between 13-80 experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, relationship issues, marital conflict, family conflict, major life adjustments, adolescent issues, parenting issues, men’s issues, and more. I also work with couples and families to improve communication, process trauma, and enhance relationships. There is a soft spot in my heart for teens, young families, couples, men, and those who grieve.

When working with my client's I understand there is not a one-size-fits all kind of treatment, and try to tailor to my client's needs as much as possible. Ultimately, I want to try to help you help yourself so you can be independent as possible, but have some guidance when it comes to figuring out life challenges so you do not have to face them alone.

A renowned therapist once said, “the person is not the problem, the problem is the problem.” Sometimes we can lose sight of that. I view a big part of my role as helping clients overcome narratives and beliefs that lead to feelings of shame, failure, and hopelessness. In working together, we will identify where these stories may be present, what their impacts are, and how you can rewrite them. I use Narrative Therapy, EMDR, The Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) to help individuals and couples realize their potential.

You are the only expert of your own life, but sometimes we need a little help. My perspective is that I'm the GPS and you're the driver- you know where you are isn't where you want to be and I am there to guide you and re-route as needed. I have worked with a wide range of clients with a focus on military members and dependents, life stressors, trauma (combat and otherwise), marital distress, depression, anxiety, and domestic violence. I am LGBT+, kink, and sex work friendly. I believe that it takes courage to come to therapy and you deserve authenticity and a space where you can address your concerns without fear of being judged.
