If you've found yourself here, then I imagine you are looking for support to make a change in your life. It can be so challenging when you are shifting through all of these profiles to understand who can help you and how. It is true, there is not one counselor that is a great fit for each person. However, with over 14 years of therapist experience, I have seen that therapy REALLY works! I have also noticed that underneath a lot of anxiety, depression, eating disorders and relationship concerns is trauma. I specialize in working with trauma using EMDR. I help people move from a life of pain to one where they experience thriving.

Do you feel worried, unhappy or uncomfortable in your relationships or just by yourself? Maybe you find yourself saying, "How did I get here? I can’t do this anymore. Something needs to change or else…" You wonder if you're always going to feel this way. Daily tasks and interactions with people are monotonous, joyless or exhausting. You play the comparison game and other people's lives seem to be so much better than yours. No one would understand if you told them what you're going through. Life feels like a struggle. Anxiety, depression, anger, confusion or discomfort seem like the norm, not the exception.

"YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANOTHER PERSON'S EXPERIENCE UNTIL YOU WALK A MILE IN THEIR SHOES." That's especially true regarding the thoughts and feelings that often surround deeply personal issues. My practice is informed by my own life experiences as well as a nuanced understanding of the complexity of human nature. Together we will build the degree of trust and rapport necessary for you to: identify maladaptive patterns, challenge negative beliefs, gain insight into past and present events and most importantly, use this information to create permanent positive change in your relationships and the way you think and feel about yourself.

I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of addictions ie alcohol,drugs,sex,food,gambling. I view addictions in a broader sense to include self defeating thought patterns, love/relationship addiction, hoarding, internet use, procrastination. Addictions are about avoiding pain and getting trapped in a repetitive cycle of thoughts and behaviors that result in more pain and regret. I provide my clients with a roadmap to follow as they seek to reclaim their self-esteem, integrity and joy.

I work with families, couples or individuals irrespective of diagnosis or the presenting problem. I'm interested in the person, not the label.
From my perspective, psychotherapy is a collaboration. It has been referred to as the "talking cure" because it heals through conversation. Putting troubling thoughts, emotions, and memories into words enables them to be felt and understood more deeply, to be borne with greater resilience, and to facilitate wiser choices. And, the privacy, boundaries, empathy, and safety of the therapeutic relationship can enable even the most shameful and frightening feelings to be faced and worked through.

After more than 35 years of clinical practice, I am now working with individuals and couples exploring emotional issues as a pathway to understanding and living fuller lives. We often view our difficulties as something being wrong with us, as opposed to an invitation to discovery.

It takes courage to embark on a therapeutic journey. With each new person I welcome in, I do my best to create a safe space for you to examine your life in a way that honors your story and brings freedom and healing within. I hold the belief that each individual is unique with the ability to change. Some of us feel the searing pain from our past that we are unable to find freedom from. In the present, life is constantly changing and presenting challenging circumstances that often leave us feeling hopeless, powerless and stuck in our relationships. It is a honor to walk alongside you on a journey of self exploration and healing.

I believe that the foundation upon which an individual's emotional, psychological, and physical health may thrive is determined by the strength of that individual's relationship with "self". My treatment style is holistic and integrated, its core components being that of empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. My areas of practice include relational issues experienced throughout the lifespan, trauma, moral injury, sexual/gender issues, and issues pertaining to chronic illness and addiction. I provide services for those within the military culture, LGBTQI community, and for caretakers experiencing compassion fatigue.
