Are you successful in one area of your life, but not another? Do you feel overwhelmed with “everything”? Are you struggling to connect with your partner or kids? Perhaps you want to learn coping skills for stress. There’s no specific single factor, or no multi-point check which you have to have to seek out therapy. We are all unique, and each of us will have different reasons for why we seek out a therapist. Each and every reason is valid and unique. My goal is to be a collaborative listener so you can find your own voice to comfortably express what matters to you.Then together we can work together to achieve your goals.
I have extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, pre teens and couples. I work with both active duty and veteran service people, as well as their families. I have extensive training and experience working with survivors of sexual assault and childhood trauma. I also specialize in diagnostic clarification for more complex presentations.
I bring to our work my life experience, my knowledge of human behavior, of parenting, culture, religion, biology, and my belief that each of us seeks to make meaning of our lives. I work best with people motivated in their journey. I welcome your interest and am happy to answer any questions you may have of my assessment and therapeutic approach.
