Hello there. I have been working in the mental health field for 28 years and have been a therapist for over 24 . I have training in the following evidence based practices: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Structural Dissociation, EMDR. I work with adults who are interested in making positive changes and finding peace of mind. I am a certified clinical trauma professional and a certified psychedelic assisted therapy practitioner. I take an eclectic approach specifically tailored to your needs.

I offer an organic approach to cognitive behavioral therapy that is discreet, private, and client centered. I specialize in life transitions, whether that be a transition into adulthood, through a divorce, through depression or anxiety. Regardless of what you have heard therapy is for everyone, and something is always gained from a person working to be the best they can be. I provide a safe and confidential environment for reflection and honest feedback. I provide comprehensive psychological assessment, which includes significant clinical insight and a sound diagnostic impression. Building rapport, and trust is paramount.

I currently have some limited immediate openings! I have experience working with adults, children, adolescents, first responders, and childhood or developmental trauma. I have experience with clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds and ages. I come from a trauma focused perspective that allows for a gentle and collaborative approach toward counseling. I believe in creating a judgement free space for clients, using humor, empathy, and authenticity.

(I currently have some limited immediate openings!) Counseling is a way to discover how we can live with our past, live in the present, and face an uncertain future daily. Most of us, given the time and information, and someone to talk with, could figure out how to manage the things that are challenging for us. Counseling helps us learn how to manage our emotions and find ways to face daily challenges. Through counseling we can learn the skills to manage our strong emotions, as well as have empathy for ourselves and others in dealing with tough life situations. I especially like supporting young children and their parents.

I'm passionate about helping people truly thrive in life, not just survive. Trauma, depression and anxiety are far too common, and can completely rob life of its joy. Hope and healing are available! Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness therapy, and trauma-focused therapy, such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems Therapy, we can get creative together to bring more joy into your life.

Things in your life feel off, emotions overwhelm you daily, your relationships suffer, and nothing feels like it can change for the better. Taking action to get help feels hard but you know something needs to change. Therapy is an evidence-based approach that will get to the root of what's going on and allow for meaningful change.

I've spent many years evaluating and observing people. What I've found is that many of their symptoms, anxiety, depression, substance abuse or other addiction issues, etc. usually stem from one or more traumatic experiences they've had. I define a traumatic experience as any event in a person's life that causes one to make a person feel unsafe. What happens next is that even if people don't remember in their mind, their bodies usually do and this causes a person to feel unsafe no matter where they are.

My clients enter therapy for myriad personal and specific reasons, but most of the work comes down to grief and loss: the loss of a person, place or thing; a way of being; an identity; connection; innocence; hope. Navigating any kind of change requires honest reflection set in a container of compassion, and a few solid tools.
