I provide focused, time-limited psychotherapy (up to 12 sessions) for individuals who are stuck and who want to make changes in their lives. This approach allows my clients to make real and impactful changes over a relatively short period of time. My work is about shifting trajectories. Working together we can shift the trajectory of your life so that it’s oriented around what is most important, most meaningful to you. I utilize empirically supported treatments, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, in which I am an internationally recognized peer reviewed trainer.

I am a clinician with years of training and broad experience that have brought about a deep understanding of how people come to feel and behave as they do. I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, identity and self-esteem problems, relationship difficulties, pregnancy/postpartum adjustment, and those feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck. My approach is warm, compassionate, honest, and professional. I strive to be a steady and supportive partner throughout the therapy process and facilitate an increasing understanding of your emotions, patterns, and areas of identity impacting many areas of your life. I find curiosity and humor to be important tools in the process.

Are you tired of not feeling good enough? Are you wanting to understand why you’re your own biggest critic? Are you seeking therapy in hopes to create a life of fulfillment, authenticity and balance? Maybe you’ve found yourself time again wondering why you feel stuck. Whether it’s your job, relationships or lifestyle, you continuously feel like something is amiss. You may wonder why fear or stress play such a heavy role in your life. Thinking about the past, or even the future, keeps you from being present in the moment. You wonder if the stories you tell yourself are holding you back from greater potential.

As a trauma therapist, I specialize in working with adults who suffer from the symptoms of traumatic stress or post traumatic stress disorder. The symptoms of trauma often include, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, nightmares and flashbacks, lack of concentration, ADD, binge eating and negative body image. All of these symptoms may be a result of unprocessed trauma that has become stuck in the mind and the body. There is a tremendous amount of promise in mental health healing available through trauma treatment.

My clients experience a whirlwind of speed and stress. Many feel stuck and seek comfort in external solutions like excessive work, toxic relationships, or substances, only to find these approaches lacking. They face the challenge of pausing to understand and address their internal needs, which can seem paradoxical. How do you slow down when there is so much to do? This struggle leads to increased stress, anxiety, and a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction with life. However, there is a way through all of this.

Since I started my work as a therapist, I have been helping my clients heal from trauma, sexual addiction, and the life impacts of other problematic sexual behaviors and choices they have made that led them to feel shame, anxiety and depression. Through my training and experience working with clients I have become aware that the ways we as a society often respond to people who have suffered traumatic experiences are not always supportive to the recovery process.

Pain is part of the human experience. Rather than efforts of eliminating distress, I invite individuals to amplify their awareness of thoughts, sensations, and impulses that contribute to pain and suffering. This mindful practice, coupled with self-compassion, can mobilize healing, increase our ability to manage distress, and expand our resilience. Collaboratively, we will explore options for creating a meaningful life.

Watching a person experience a “light-bulb” moment and realize that their pattern of thinking and/or behavior has been a struggle for them is why I'm most passionate about being a therapist. Clients often come into their first session feeling afraid, full of shame or guilt, and a general sense of being stuck. At times, when life becomes difficult or overwhelming, and we are afraid to reach out, this can feel like we are climbing an up hill battle. With a strong and trusting relationship, a genuinely safe space, and emotional support, recovery and living life to the fullest is not just possible, but also probable.
