The alarm sounds, and you face the new day with frustration and a sense of dread. Part of you wants to visit with friends, go watch a new movie, or go to the mall but in the end it all sounds too tiring and you just stay home. You wonder why waves of anger and confusion wash over you at times that do not make sense. You are carrying shock, pain, and fear from what has happened in your life and you are unsure how to heal. At times your mind races with painful or unwanted thoughts, peace and clarity seemingly lost forever. Life seems a confusing and frightening journey.

The people I love to work with are those that have tried to change so many times that they have almost given up hope. I love helping clients get to the actual root of their issues, so that they no longer desire old habits. I specialize in helping clients with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, Trauma/PTSD, burnout, addiction, and marital difficulties. I enjoy pre-marital or pre-engagement counseling. My primary mode of treatment is EFT for couples and IFS for individuals. I love IFS, because it heals childhood wounds so thoroughly and deeply, and because it enables the client to do the bulk of the healing.

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.
