Life can challenge us and throw us off-center while in stride. Grief, PTSD, and trauma are challenges that are easier to manage with someone who understands. I work with adults and teens, tailoring evidence-based, trauma-informed practices for each individual. Honoring who you are is very important in the healing process; it is important that you know you are not alone.

If you're grappling with PTSD and depression, finding a therapeutic space where your voice is heard, and your experiences are validated is crucial. This approach is for those seeking an empathetic listener and a therapy grounded in recognizing and building upon your strengths. If you value being seen for who you are and desire therapy that respects your unique journey while adhering to the highest ethical standards, you're in the right place. Our work together will be about honoring your experiences, leveraging your inherent strengths, and moving towards healing at your pace.

Taking the first step to get help and support can be confusing and hard to navigate. This is particularly difficult when we are struggling. I understand this and want to support you in feeling better and getting more out of your life. I believe that the most important way I can support you in counseling is by helping us build a trusting, collaborative relationship where you feel seen, heard and understood.

Sometimes, we want to make changes but struggle with unknown parts of ourselves that seem to stop us. Habits, life long patterns and unconscious beliefs can hold us back from living the life that we long for. It takes time and courage to examine our belief system and reach out for what we really want. As a therapist, I follow the process of each individual. Clients are viewed on a spectrum of health, rather than through a lens of pathology. This approach creates a very curious and creative focus that encourages growth at the client’s own pace.

Working with clients to find grounding and direction as they adjust to transitions, heal trauma, form a healthy personal identity, and overcome shame so that they can step into life with genuine presence is one of my greatest joys.

Holding space for people to experience connection and support as they grow, heal, or transition is what I love about this work. Whether it is a couple/relationship stuck in a pattern or longing for deeper connection, or an individual ready to make sense of things or move forward toward something new

I help adults of all ages who are tired of chasing perfection. Despite being ambitious, intelligent, and devoted to their relationships, my clients do not feel calm inside. When they first come in, they feel compelled to present an outside image that is more attractive, more accomplished, and happier than the next person. Underneath, they carry the secret that they don’t actually feel that great. They struggle with staying present in the moment and often feel exhausted. They avoid reaching out to people, because it doesn't feel safe to show their weaknesses. Their fears get in the way of the life they want in so many ways.

Are there seemingly "insurmountable" obstacles in your life? Are you feeling sad, lonely, angry, anxious, or empty, but you can't figure out how or even what to change. Whether these struggles have recently developed or have been life-long, together we can work toward changes leading you to a more satisfying, fulfilling, and joyful life. For 30+ years, I've been effectively using talk therapy with couples and individuals helping them to express, feel and sort out their unique struggles. Their clarity, purpose, and coping skills improve, leading to a more vibrant connection with themselves and those around them.

“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” - E.E. Cummings. I view therapy as a collaborative, unfolding process. My approach is focused on providing a secure space to develop a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship based on empathy, support, and connection. As a therapist my goal is to help you move towards healing and growth.

Feeling connected to who you are and those around you. Trusting yourself in the midst of hard decisions. Gaining purpose and prioritizing self-care. Creating and maintaining healthy relationships. All of this can feel impossible to accomplish when life is filled with uncertainty, change and exhaustion. Your confidence may feel lower. Your self-trust may feel inaccessible. You may be feel overwhelmed, confused and exhausted by the job of being a parent. Together we can co-create an environment that is conducive to sifting through these concerns while sustainably enacting change in these areas of your life.

I hope you will find a welcome, safe place for healing and growth as we work together. Therapy sessions with me often include techniques from Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness techniques, or Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This means that, unlike traditional talk therapy, I often integrate interventions using back-and-forth eye movements to promote resolution from upsetting experiences using ART or EMDR. These approaches are different than hypnosis and are supported by positive outcomes in research studies as well as in my clinical experience.

I specialize in treating adults with personal, spiritual, and relational concerns, from a Christian worldview. I am passionate about helping you move from a place of difficulty into one of health, confidence, and emotional wholeness, so that you can thrive in your life and in your relationships, and succeed in the goals you've set for yourself. Issues I work with include depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, trauma, shame, guilt, abuse recovery, suicidal thoughts, conflict, forgiveness, body image issues, and family issues.

I strive to create a warm and inviting relationship with my clients so that everyone in the room feels comfortable with being vulnerable. That takes patience and a delicate touch, but it is worth it! I would love to help you recognize your blind spots that might be inhibiting your growth.

Are you feeling unhappy, lost or stuck? You can feel better! "In a dark time, the eye begins to see." The poet, Theodore Roethke, recognized the opportunities available even in our most troubled moments. Therapy offers the chance to get a new perspective on both our internal landscape as well as our relationships. With enhanced vision, therapy can help you discover and embody a new story for yourself. As a therapist with over thirty years of clinical experience, I believe in each person's innate wisdom and ability to change. No matter how lost you might feel, I know that healing is possible.

I work with clients at their pace and through the therapeutic process they begin to unleash the shame, destructive inner voices, and debilitating pain that are keeping the client from living a life of connectedness and joy. My focus is to help people discover why they might be relating and behaving the way they are, and give them tools to create change, transforming their inner world and relationships.

It’s true, life can be painful and even very unfair. Your relationships might be struggling, your daily demands may seem overwhelming, your work may feel far more stressful than engaging, and you may be down on yourself. You may have any number of emotions including anxiety, anger, guilt, pessimism, boredom, regret, sadness, shame, and loneliness. Therapy can help you cope with difficult emotions and provide you with tools to improve your relationship with yourself and with others. My goal is to help you accept your whole being so that your best self can foster positive relationships and create a life of joy and purpose.
