Sometimes, life can be stressful and feel overwhelming. It sometimes doesn't go as we had planned. Sometimes we need guidance. My desire is to have my clients learn to handle life's "curve balls" and motivate them to develop positive coping skills in order to decrease the unraveling that can occur. My counseling style is one of compassion, empathy, empowerment and reframing. As co-owner/partner at Renew Counseling and Consultation, I have had a passion for the field of Psychology since high school and enjoys assisting others in achieving their goals.

I completed fellowship training in medical clinics for chronic pain (including a back pain and migraines), sleep disorders, women’s health, weight management.
I help clients reach the goals they value. This often includes taking time to connect to what you feel is important to you, even if it feels like you’ve ‘lost’ certain good parts of yourself or things you used to enjoy. Whether it's self-care, relationships, or changing situations that feel ‘stuck,’ we can turn hope into a good life. In therapy, we can better understand what roadblocks or patterns need to change. We can adjust expectations, set boundaries, learning new strategies, from day one.

I have experience with panic attacks, trauma with PTSD, Dissociative Disorders, as well as more common mental health issues of mood swings, attention deficit, sleep issues, anxiety and fears.
The hardest part of life is living a full and enjoyable life, especially when there is heartache, emotional or physical pain, anxiety and fears, and losses that were unexpected. I can help you make sense out of this life and find the strength and hope to manage changes to improve how you live, how you feel, and how you feel about how you are living when you can't change your life or your circumstances. I can help you reduce the panic of anxiety, the intensity of traumatic fears, the reactivity to emotional circumstances, and reduce the grief of all sorts of losses experienced or anticipated.

I predominately work with children, adolescents, and young adults who exhibit antisocial and aggressive behavior, oppositional behavior, emotion dysregulation, suicidality, anxiety, and sleep issues.
The two best predictors of whether or not an individual will effectively address their psychological issues are the client’s engagement and the client-therapist relationship. If you are searching for a mental health provider, chances are you will bring the engagement! As for the client-therapist relationship, my highly relational therapeutic style works for a wide variety of clients. The combination of these two predictors with my utilization of empirically supported treatments facilitates individuals and families that are exhibiting psychological issues improve their life.

I help people to achieve any goal, whether it's using hypnosis to kick a bad habit, such as smoking or overeating; or changing negative beliefs, such as not being good enough; or tending to grief and loss by obtaining closure, insight or a deeper understanding of why something ended the way it did, or learning meditation and mindfulness to assist with reaching their full potential. I create a customized approach that suits each client's individual preferences.

If you've had an overwhelming event or deeply ingrained stress response in the body, let's help you let go of the chronic fatigue, pain, relationship problems, sleep or eating issues, inability to connect spiritually, migraines or IBS.
You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.

You just want to feel better. Trauma has turned you into someone you don’t even recognize. You’re constantly on edge and can’t sleep. If sleep does come, it’s often restless and filled with nightmares. Your creativity, performance, and professionalism is suffering. You often feel tremendous guilt and shame; no one understands what it's like. Or maybe you stuff the hurt, pain, and disappointment down deep inside so no one sees it. You know how to put on a good, happy face for others. The emptiness and loneliness seem unbearable. Or maybe this describes your loved one who you can’t seem to reach no matter how hard you try.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
