Humans are complex, and yet so simple in their innate need for connection and love. We are ever-changing, and our healing needs nurturing, since we experience differently across our lifespan. I am a strongly process-oriented therapist and use components of CBT, IFS, DBT, MI, and Gottman, with an over-arching use of a multi-modal approach to treatment - which means we don't just talk about the issue, but instead look at spirituality, physical health, relationships, etc. My specialties surround helping Depression, Grief & Loss, Life Transitions, Relationships & Communication, and Challenges Related to Chronic Pain & Diabetes.

I am a retired high tech executive who has embarked on a career as a life coach specializing in addiction counseling. As a State-certified counselor, I’ve helped men from 20 to 60 years of age and from many backgrounds. However, having worked in the corporate world, I’m uniquely qualified to help people struggling with substance abuse in high pressure environments. Addiction is a secondary issue in my view. The problem is most people approach life in a reactive, rather than proactive mode. This usually results in sub-optimal outcomes. I will help you with personal and professional life planning to get your life on track.

Hi! I have 13 years experience doing behavioral mental health. I love my job and I love guiding people along their journey. I enjoy going deeper than just talking to transform major belief systems, shift emotions, and heal from trauma. I use Internal Family Systems and EMDR as the primary agents of change.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals and families with a wide range of backgrounds, goals, and concerns. I aim to work with clients who are committed to the process of therapy, those wanting to dedicate the time to address whatever their needs are in that moment, and those willing to be present and open-minded in their progress. Although I have an abundance of experience working with children and adolescents, I have had the pleasure of working with all ages and gender, individuals and families, and am open to accepting clients that may align with my therapeutic practice.

As a multiculturally competent counselor, I value building relationships with clients from all walks of life. My hope is to create a space of safety and warmth where you can express yourself and be who you truly are.

I am looking to have meaningful conversations with people. If we succeed at this, we will both get something out of the conversation each day. I am looking for individuals who are seeking the same thing. To have conversations to sort through what is going on in their life, get a vision for what is attainable, and work with me as they strive to attain what they aim for. Perhaps it's to unlock potential in their life or to heal wounds from the past that are holding us back. There are so many variables between us and a future that is desirable and truly good. I will be more than just a sounding board for people to vent at.

I help highly motivated individuals find grace and flexibility while navigating life transitions. Whether entering or exiting a relationship, stepping from adolescence into adulthood, starting or leaving a job, preparing for or beginning parenthood, or somewhere in between now and what's next, I guide clients to establish and align with their values, boundaries and goals as they move forward. I challenge people to acknowledge what hasn't been working and dig into their healing process to move through life with self-compassion and integrity.

It seems a core part of the human condition to struggle with why we are here and what we are doing. I do not offer tools or techniques that focus solely on symptoms, which inevitably return. Instead, I focus on you: your autonomy as a person, your sense of self, and your pursuit of meaning, which has lasting effect on your wellbeing. I invite you to consider what Mary Oliver's question means to you: “What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" If I'm speaking your language, please reach out to me to be placed on my waitlist.

My approach is collaborative, ie, we figure out together what's going on and how best to work towards better outcomes. My patients are children, adolescents and their families, couples and adults - young and old. I have a good deal of experience with acting-out behaviors, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma-based behaviors. While some difficulties can be more skillfully dealt with, I am skeptical that life's problems can be 'resolved' forever and ever. Emotions and thoughts will forever arise, offering endless opportunities to learn different responses, ultimately transforming habitual reactions into conscious responses that work better for us.

This allows you opportunity to move through stuck pain and grief, with gentle guidance and support, so you are able to embrace the goodness life has to offer. I am open to meeting with adolescents and adults who are ready to do their emotional growth work, regardless of gender or profile. Children are also more than welcome in my practice.
