Life throws curve balls that often knock us down, but painful and difficult experiences do not have to define you. Instead, these experiences can be a starting point to creating a more authentic, connected version of yourself. Offering a space where my clients feel seen, heard, and valued is a tremendous honor and one of my greatest passions as a clinician. With the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics as a guide, my sessions utilize a variety of evidence-based models that are customized to meet the needs and goals of the adults, children, couples, families, and adolescents I serve.

Family structure, life circumstances, trauma and grief can challenge the way we think and feel. Our emotions are often triggered by these life circumstances causing negative behavioral responses such as anxiety, angry outbursts, obsessive-compulsive disorders, drug addiction, alcoholism, sexual addiction, gambling, depression, and relationship conflict. The consequences of these behaviors cause heartache and pain in our lives and often have adverse effects on the people around us. Therapy can show you how negative behaviors limit your life and prevent you from living your life to the fullest potential.

I specialize in Trauma/EMDR and Codependency/Attachment issues, seeing both couples and individuals. Trauma (i.e. repressed emotion and negative self-belief) manifests in psychological, emotional, and behavioral patterns that can be incredibly distressing. I've seen this poison relationships, where it presents as codependency, infidelity, addiction, and emotional neglect. In individuals it shows up as disordered eating/eating disorders (body dysmorphia, binge eating disorder, anorexia), OCD/anxiety, depression/anger issues, CPTSD, substance abuse disorders, and mood disorders. We'll start with the most distressing problem first!

Reaching out to a therapist can be scary, especially if you've had a bad experience. My approach is non-judgmental, individualized, and collaborative, and I strongly believe it is key to first earn the trust of my clients. My style has been developed over the nearly two decades I've worked in mental health and through the 9,500+ hours of therapy, coaching, and supervision I've offered since becoming a therapist in 2011.

I believe you are exactly where you need to be.... Right now. Rumi said it best: "The wound is the place where the light enters you." The suffering, the vulnerability, the anger and the fear are perfect opportunities to shine a light of awareness and begin healing. I offer a safe space for each awareness to unfold without judgement. My approach tends to be ecclectic and holistic, incorporating spiritual practices to raise your consciousness in order to create alignment with your heart, body, and soul so that healing may begin.

Has traditional talk therapy fallen short in helping you find the root of the issues you repeatedly face? Are you struggling to change the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and disconnected? You may be struggling to navigate relationships, battle loud negative self-talk, or manage anxious thoughts. If these experiences sound all too familiar, you're in the right place. I aim to meet you where you are and help you identify and leverage your existing inner strengths. I utilize modalities that allow us to move beyond traditional talk therapy to address the root causes of your distress and get a handle on your emotions.

New clients for intensive therapy only. Are you ready to get unstuck from worry, obsessions, uncomfortable body sensations, traumatic memories, or shame? I believe a deeper level of healing is possible by getting to the root of the issue. I have 15 years of watching clients transform their lives, so I know it's possible for you too. Often talking alone will not get you there because your nervous system holds the keys to unlocking automatic responses. By making mind, emotion, and body connections together, we will work together to help you reach your goals. Looking to heal faster? Ask me about therapy retreat services.
