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.

"
In therapy our initial sessions focus on us getting to know each other while I use this time to build a picture of you and your world. This helps me conceptualize a strategy to help guide your path towards your goals. As every person is unique, we will work together to create your treatment plan. Therapy is successful when I can facilitate growth even in the discomfort that change can cause.

I believe that every person is unique, and as such, treatment needs to be tailored to the individual. This may mean I use a number of different interventions from more than one type of therapy. While a personalized eclectic approach may be most effective for you, it is firmly grounded in evidence based research. I work a lot with Interpersonal, DBT, Solution-focused, and Psychodynamic approaches.
