My specialties include PTSD/Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Illness/ Pain.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to counseling. Every unique individual has their own specific needs when it comes to healing from trauma, overcoming anxiety/alarm, and growing in resiliency and self-compassion. My hope is to provide a safe space where you can share your stories, struggles, and hopes for the future as we engage the brain and body in a way that allows for healing to begin and relief to be found in order to take steps toward a brighter future.

My goal is to guide clients toward an acceptance of themselves, and to a heightened ability to make positive changes in their lives. Instead of avoiding feelings, denying the pain, or trying to self-medicate emotions and memories... I assist clients to discover meaning in life, even when life is painful. I also work with dreams from a Jungian perspective; your dream is about you and about your future. I also believe in the healing power of humor. I am a licensed professional counselor, counselor supervisor, and a licensed minister.

My specializations include couples and marital counseling, individual therapy, behavioral health (i.e., the mind-body connection), mindfulness training, stress management, values/goals clarification, LGBT issues, and hypnosis. Understandably, clients want results that are both fast and lasting, so I tend to use some type of brief, solution-focused model in my work. I also have considerable experience utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a method that is both quick and effective for relationship/family/parenting problems, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic pain, guilt, insomnia, medical impairments, work stress, anger/resentment, smoking addiction, and many other difficult issues.

The human mind and body is a vastly complex and amazing system, with immeasurable capacity for both pain and healing. None of us operates in a vacuum and, because of different life experiences, beliefs, environments and relationships, each of us is unique in our suffering, as well as our path to wellness.

military, and first responders dealing with life's issues as well as those struggling with PTSD, trauma, marriage/divorce, & stressors of chronic pain/ illnesses.
Sometimes life throws us curve balls and with those hiccups in life come struggles in which we all need help. I believe that it is in those moments when turning to others is key to helping one heal and move forward with their lives. I see strength in seeking counseling for oneself, because that takes courage on your part to step outside of your box and seek help. Establishing a therapeutic relationship that leads to the development of trust is important for growth and healing of a client. It takes courage to take that first step towards counseling, I hope to be able to walk this step with you.

A particular specialty of mine is helping people navigate chronic illness and complex health diagnoses.
Those coming to the therapy space often find themselves seeking these two powerful experiences: acceptance and care for who we are in the moment, and nurturance and guidance for who we want to become. We all have things about ourselves and about our lives that we want to change, but perhaps feel as if we don't have the tools or knowledge to go about that change in a healthy, productive way. It is my job as a therapist to show you that you already have all the necessary knowledge and tools within you to create beneficial, lasting change; you simply need someone equipped with the right flashlight to illuminate them for you.

Where to start? Life is full of ups and downs. After time, emotional pain can be difficult to describe. We know we are carrying hurt, physical stress, or relationship injuries but have difficulty talking about them. When we do try, we don’t get the response we were hoping for. At times, it may even be more discouraging. So, we disconnect and withdraw from people we care about. But over time, it’s as if we can no longer recognize ourselves. We are not broken or defective. There is a way.

I know that sometimes you feel like you're all alone in your pain, anxiety, sadness, and anger.
You're an accomplished, hard worker, and people think you have it all together. But your internal voice reminds you that you feel inadequate, and you may struggle with sadness, anxiety, or anger. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma. You work hard to hide your deepest thoughts and feelings, and it's exhausting. You overanalyze your perceived flaws and past experiences. Perhaps you withdraw or lash out at loved ones. You try to push down negative feelings by staying busy and focusing on other things, but you don't feel so good inside when things are quiet. You feel "off". You're tired of living this way and ready for a change.

Help can be so hard to ask for on a good day - the tough days make it even harder. But you and your life are worth it. Life presents many difficult times: loss of a loved one, blended family struggles, relocation, divorce, health issues, not to mention the effects of past trauma that affect every part of life. Together we'll set goals to shift how you think about and cope with the issue at hand. We'll develop tools and techniques to use in your day-to-day life that reduce the struggle and pain. Tools that foster peace, growth and healing - now, as well as in the future after our time together in counseling has ended.

I have helped others with: depression, anxiety, physical or sex abuse, PTSD, bipolar depression, dissociative disorders, phobias, chronic pain, migraines, and performance anxiety.
Emotional pain ... sucks. I can help your pain. Flashbacks, nightmares and PTSD respond very well to EMDR, as do intrusive thoughts and disturbing memories. I have been using it since 1993, so early that Francine Shapiro, the creator of EMDR, trained me herself. In addition, my basic training is Marriage and Family so I excel in relationships. But memories cause most of our problems.
