My specialties include Trauma Focused CBT, and I have trained other therapists to use this treatment method.
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." While we cannot always change the world around us, we do have the power to make changes in ourselves which, in turn, affect our circumstances and the way we interact with others. Using a caring and insightful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, I help clients have a better understanding of their emotions and experiences, which enables the ability to make better life choices. Each session is catered towards the individual, to ensure that your therapeutic journey is one that is most helpful to you.

Immediate Availability! Yung Pueblo, one of my favorite writers says, "Personal transformation is not easy. Healing yourself takes time. Letting go can sometimes feel overwhelming. Building new habits can seem like an uphill battle. Even with all of these challenges, inner work is worth it. This active form of self-love can radically change your life." Growth isn't just about being in full bloom; it's the process by which you get there...and how you continue to thrive after all the messiness from that growth. But often, you can't do this alone or without the right tools, support, and encouragement. That's what I'm here for!

My approach to therapy is relational psychoanalytic and founded on the premise that healing occurs within the context of a safe and consistent relationship that allows for the exploration and expression of your true self. The therapeutic process offers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the repetitive thoughts, feelings, and patterns that prevent you from living a healthier and more fulfilled life. My hope is to help facilitate the experience of creative self-discovery, to help you be and become more fully alive, and more fully yourself.

Infidelity? Porn addiction? Sex addiction? Trauma? These issues can be tough to deal with, but I can help. I have specialized training so that you're not wasting your time and money. Not just talk, talk, talk that gets you nowhere. I used evidence-based treatments so that you're feeling better soon. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist (CMAT), I'm trained in many addictions and compulsive behavior, as well as substance addictions. Most therapists aren't trained in all these issues. I offer EMDR trauma therapy, as well. There is hope.

Do you: Worry too much about your future? Fear being alone? Feel lonely more often than you'd like? Feel frustrated waiting for your turn to win? Crave security, connection, and confidence? If you nodded 'yes' to any of these, you're not alone. These feelings are common, but they don't have to be your normal. As a life coach and Doctor of Psychology, I help people transform challenges into growth opportunities.

The evolving challenges of raising children involve the addition of new technology and an ever-increasing pressure to succeed. Keeping on top of these dynamics can at best overwhelm and at worst alienate those in even the most healthy families. Teens pass through a stage of fluctuating hormonal levels, while negotiating burgeoning independence, and navigating the waters of social media along with peer pressure. Meanwhile parents are dealing with keeping a household afloat, managing the family and their careers, while often having aging parents and/or dealing with grief over their loss. When teens and parents need a little help or mental health challenges require more effort for daily living than they should, learning new coping skills with or without medication can make a difference. Discovering what influences behaviors and learning ways to express what needs to be said can empower parents and their children to find more happiness and fulfillment in life. Sorting through these challenges and developing coping techniques that help organize and balance communication is my goal with all families and individuals.

Welcome! I pride myself in providing child & adolescent specific care that heavily emphasizes family engagement. I find more optimal outcomes in my work when parents are willing to become vulnerable and connect with their children. Too often, we become focused on what children are not doing right and on their pathology that we lose sight of the things they are good at and the things that make them precious and unique. I teach parents how to harness their children's strengths to aid them in overcoming their struggles. The heart of this work lies in connection. If a child does not feel connected and safe, they will not heal.

I have a passion for connecting with clients to help them overcome their struggles and create renewed energy for life. To be human is to experience loss, difficulty, and heartache. But there is hope. As humans we also have the capacity to manage our problems, heal, and change our lives for the better. Perhaps you recently went through a break-up, job loss, or the death of a loved one. Or perhaps you just feel stuck in life and unable to break free from negative thoughts or unwanted emotions. You may be looking for a new life purpose or to change your story. Regardless of what you are going through, I believe therapy can help.
