I am a professor of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and I work exclusively with distressed couples. I prefer Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) because of its extraordinary (researched and documented) improvement rate (90%) and its success rate of 73%. My ideal clients are mid/late life couples who are paralyzed in their relationship distance due to issues such as: infidelity, trauma, physical illness, financial or family stressors, or end of life issues. I am especially invested in assisting baby boomer couples who are dealing with major life transitions including retirement, dating, remarriage (edwardstonecounseling.com).

My previous experience focused on children's mental health, however, I also have experience with ages across the spectrum. An important aspect of counseling is willingness to be involved in the process. This can be difficult, however, together we can work to meet the goals you hope to achieve.

Life can be overwhelming, and it is easy to feel lost or alone. Maybe you feel stuck or trapped with whatever situation you find yourself in now. You may not know what your next steps are, but you know you want things to be different. The mountain that you want to climb is right there, but taking those first steps seems terrifying. I want you to know that there is hope. That your current struggles do not have to be part of your future reality. I’m passionate about helping individuals gain insight into themselves. Into their patterns of behavior, which helps them develop new coping skills and strategies to navigate life's challenges.

We all experience relationship conflict, overwhelming/traumatic events, and internal struggles. My therapeutic approach is focused on helping my clients to better understand themselves and how their history has impacted their present. Along this journey, I empower clients to use certain tools and resources to move forward into the vision that they want for their future. I approach experiences and beliefs from a trauma lens, utilizing EMDR to reduce distress, regulate nervous system functioning, update neural pathways, and bridge the gap between the brain and body.

If you are feeling hopeless, out of control, or stuck about what is going on in your life, you have come to the right place. The most common issues clients come to me with are: grief, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, job/school stress, self-esteem issues, divorce care, and midlife "crisis." Also, some people seek therapy because they just feel "blah" and unfulfilled and they don't know why. If any of this rings a bell with you, let's talk! I can help by offering new perspectives, teaching coping skills, and introducing more helpful thinking patterns. Change can be so hard, but you don't have to do it alone.

My passion is supporting individuals and couples wrestling with life stressors, relational difficulties, grief, family dynamics, or trauma. Maybe you are in a life transition, feeling alone and lost. Maybe you don’t feel connected to those around you. Maybe the past haunts you and you’re just not sure how to overcome it. We’ve all experienced one challenge or another (I know. I’m human, too). Therapy can be intimidating. Just know, you’ve already been courageous – you recognized the need for change. Now, you’re looking for a therapist to join you. As a therapist, I seek to bring my true self into the room.

My passion is to help the people who have spent their lives helping others. I recently retired after 27 years in the fire service and believe this experience makes me uniquely equipped to help first responders. My practice is trauma based and I offer EMDR to help deal with the trauma in the lives of my clients. While I hope to work with many first responders this is not the only focus of my service. I have nearly 10 years experience in treating addictions. My practice is open to individual, couple, and group therapy.

Are you exhausted from living with substance misuse, sexual compulsivity, or the pain of trauma? Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to help? Having an experienced guide to help navigate the challenges in your healing journey can make all the difference. No matter the trauma or the shape addiction takes (drugs, alcohol, sex, porn, etc.), healing depends on addressing the underlying issues and restoring connection to our bodies, ourselves, others, and the world. As you begin to heal, the need to engage in addictive behavior lessens, ultimately resulting in natural, lifelong recovery.

You’re discouraged that life isn’t measuring up to what you had hoped. You fake it so it seems like you have it all together, but you feel dissatisfied, hopeless, and empty. Feeling disconnected from the most important people in your life, and even from yourself has really taken its toll. I’m here to help. Life's hard and it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness, losing sight of what really matters. It becomes more characterized by depression, anxiety, conflict, loneliness, and addiction; more so than the peace and fulfillment that is desired. Distressing feelings like these is likely what brought you here, hoping for help!

Reaching out is a tough but crucial first step. Pushing past the fear or even gaining the energy to start the journey out of a hard and often dark place is so difficult. So, I applaud you for being here and preparing to take that step. It would be my honor if you would allow me to be a guiding light as you navigate and work through these tough times. Whether it be an internal struggle with yourself or what feels like a rigorous war with your spouse, your family, or your friends. Together we can find hope for a brighter day. Together we will work hard to turn that hope into a reality and we will do it one step at a time.
