I believe we all share the need to be deeply understood, especially during difficult or challenging times. I appreciate the courage clients show when they share stories of their lives. Without fail, I find these stories layered, complex, unique and moving. I admire clients who dare to share life stories that are "works-in-progress" -- messy, drafty, tentative. Stories with icky parts (that's a technical term!)... or tender parts...or broken parts... or out-dated parts. Stories with gaps -- spaces -- where yet-to-be-written parts will go. .I believe this process leads to healing and transformation.

My practice focuses on relationships, attachment, and trauma. I work with individuals and couples who feel disconnected, unheard, and are struggling. I’m excellent at navigating complexity and co-creating a safer space with you to unpack painful experiences and overwhelming emotions while being compassionate, direct, and offering insight. I focus on looking for patterns in the past that are continuing to show up in the present that impact your relationships.

You have the incredible ability to self-heal. I'm here to support you through identifying and letting go of the old habits or patterns that cast you into a narrative that no longer fits the self you want to be in this world. My role as a therapist is to hold a welcoming, safe space and to provide knowledgeable, dependable support as you discover who you are underneath all those layers of self that you’ve created in order to survive. More and more people are beginning to trust it is safe to relinquish the old identity they cling to, the life which they carry so much conflict around.

Feeling stuck and can't figure out why? Maybe you have noticed patterns that are getting in the way. You might react too quickly, getting angry and loud, and then feeling guilt or shame afterwards. Perhaps, you find yourself going blank in different situations where you don't know what to say and feel like shutting down. Maybe you might want connection with people, but it might be hard to trust and put yourself out there. Even knowing these patterns doesn't make it easy to figure out what to do. Our body is wired to keep us safe and sometimes these patterns develop after trauma as ways of trying to help us.

There are many complexities that can make the therapy processes overwhelming. This can be a challenge to navigate, and my goal as a therapist is to help you through authenticity and open communication/dialogue. Whether you're looking for processing, skills work, evaluations, problem-solving for everyday stress, or are experiencing major life events, trauma or any combination, we can explore your goals collaboratively. I believe in utilizing an integrative, client-centered approach that's informed through elements of systems theory, anti-oppressive theory, gender theory, intersectional feminism, and trauma-informed care.

I've worked in the mental health field since 2000 with various populations (individuals, couples and families), however, my specialties include men's studies, pornography/sexual addiction, relationship health for married couples & EMDR. I especially find men experience challenges in life and lack the means or opportunities to be supported, validated heard. I strive to be practical and direct, yet effective in fostering change. Whether guiding couples in marriage prep or in marital strain, I develop understanding of relationships, creating an open, honest and safe communication style which fosters intimacy through challenges.

In helping children, teens, and their families, I employ a combination of compassion, creativity, understanding, and humor with clinically proven treatment methods. During my 15+ years of experience I have found that a good collaborative therapeutic relationship combined with skill-based strategies and techniques results in positive and lasting changes. I typically begin treatment with a thorough assessment and treatment plan. Treatment incorporates both parent and child interventions. I routinely communicate with pediatricians, teachers and school personnel to assist in resolving the issues of children and teens, with parental permission.

I am a firm believer that healing and transformation within an individual can ignite subsequent change within the family unit and larger community. While many may associate relationships with harm and debilitating pain, relationships can also serve as an avenue for healing and restoration of the soul. I aspire to serve as an agent of change for those seeking to reconnect with their authentic self, faith/core beliefs, and primary relationships by addressing persisting challenges that may have been overshadowed by symptoms of these root issues. I wholeheartedly believe that you are the starting point for change in your own life.

Over thirty years of experience partnering with clients of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, has confirmed for me each person has within themselves the resources and ability to become the person they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As a therapist I partner with each client helping them to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and guide them in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others. I work collaboratively with clients to solve problems, connect with strengths, and reach their personal and professional goals.

If You've been carrying burdens that feel unrecognizable to most people - You deserve safety and gentle witnessing. When You want change and going on with "life as normal" feels too much - it's not that You aren't strong enough. It's that none of us were meant to go through life's challenges alone. Disconnection is a common cause of dis-ease in individuals, families and communities. Together, we can explore self-regulation techniques, co-regulating through anxiety/ stress/ dysregulation, and practice new ways of being through self-inquiry and communication.

Therapy can only work if there is a connection between you and your therapist. If you give me a call we can talk by phone or set a brief meeting to make sure you feel comfortable and connected before embarking on what can be a great journey.

I repeatedly have been impressed and moved by the process and experience that is psychotherapy. With each new person that I meet, I endeavor to foster a relationship through which healing, self-awareness, and personal growth can take place. I aim to help people identify their own emotional truths and live a more fulfilling life. If you are unhappy with the direction your life is going, dissatisfied with the quality of your relationships, or experiencing distressing symptoms that make it difficult to get through your days, please call for an initial consultation.
