My therapuetic approach is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and I have recently completed training for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) working towards a Level 1 certification.
People are FASCINATING! Day-to-day we come into contact with people who have weathered unimaginable challenges, people who have been knocked down, people who have been hurt, people who have hurt others; and yet we just move along! I believe there is power in a pause. It has been a great privilege to accompany, witness, and pause with people in their struggles and their efforts to change over the past 10 years. I am adept at working with people who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, drug abuse, etc. I strive to meet clients where they are and collaboratively develop a plan that feels right for them.

I am also trained in EFT couples therapy, have been certified in EMDR therapy, and use IFS, person-centered, and analytic approaches.
Do you want to join a therapy process group? Have you benefited from therapy but want to get more out of it? I conduct long-term therapy process groups for those who want to work on connecting with their emotions, with other people, and with themselves in meaningful and life changing ways. The process groups I run don’t focus on a particular topic, but people in these groups work on such things as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship problems. I am currently not taking new individual or couples therapy clients, but do have openings for new group therapy clients. I have groups for adults and licensed therapists.

This could include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I believe in a client-centered and client-directed approach in working with individuals, couples, and families. Anxiety, depresion, grief and loss, trauma, marriage and relationship issues, parenting issues, and adoption issues can all be barriers to living a fulfilling life. My role is to help you overcome those barriers blocking your progress, interfering with relationships, and holding you back. I have worked with families and children via the child welfare system - focusing on abuse, neglect, behavioral, and parenting issues for nearly 30 years - and began seeing clients in private practice more than 5 years ago.

I want to help you find relief from distressing symptoms such as explosiveness, irritability, chronic pain and fatigue, impulsivity, distractibility, hyper-excitability, social anxiety, fear, mania, and hopelessness. Life wasn’t what I had expected. Having a chronic illness while trying to raise a child with disabilities (DMDD, Anxiety, ADHD, & Autism Spectrum) and being married to a Veteran Navy Corpsman with PTSD from serving with the Marines in Iraq proved challenging. I searched for answers and found success. I became a therapist to spread hope by sharing what I learned.

What are you looking for in therapy? The most common goal of clients is to 'develop coping skills.' We have been repeatedly told diet, exercise, meditation, and adequate sleep can all improve our mood, but why aren't we doing it. Through processing painful experiences and emotions, I have seen clients improve their overall well-being and finally live the life they want.

I am trained in a variety of treatment methods including - ERP, Team CBT, EMDR, the Flash Technique, attachment theory and neuroscience, and I am trauma informed.
If your child is suffering from anxiety or OCD it can be scary and exhausting. You may find yourself worrying about their future while also just trying to just survive the day. You might have been hoping they would grow out of it, but you see their lives growing smaller. Anxiety and OCD makes unreasonable demands of your child and family, whether it is out of control worrying, a hard time separating, constant reassurance, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, rituals or compulsions, or any number of problems. It demands certainty, hates the unknown and the uncomfortable. You want relief for your child and family.

In my treatment of these symptoms I use techniques including EMDR as well as trying to assess and determine other causalities of what is at the root of a person's struggles.
Are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed? Do you struggle with being able to focus or concentrate? Are you have difficulty sleeping? You may be struggling with depression or anxiety. Some of the strongest individuals I know are those who asked for help. Engaging in the therapeutic process can be intimidating, so I work with my clients to be their companion knowing that every journey is different. My goal while working with client's is to develop a mutual understanding of their presenting problem and develop a plan of approach that addresses the whole individual.

Learning to cope with these things was a long journey for me. As I learned and healed, I realized I wanted to help others with mental health struggles. The foundation for my counseling approach comes from skills/interventions that I have implemented successfully in my own life.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
