In addition to treating anxiety, OCD, and mood issues, I also work with couples and individuals experiencing relationship challenges.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or obsessive thoughts? Limited by low mood and depressive thinking? I can help you learn the necessary tools to challenge and change negative and unhelpful thought patterns. Anxiety, fears, and mood issues can make your world feel smaller and smaller, and disrupt your relationships, work, and happiness. I am deeply committed to helping people achieve greater peace, presence, and meaning in their lives.

I work with clients who want to uncover and utilize their strengths to develop resiliency and become the agent of change in their life. When done within the context of a warm and empathetic therapeutic relationship, I believe that therapy can be a challenging yet restorative journey which leads to a more fulfilling and meaningful life experience on the other end.

As a counselor, I am privileged to be able to share in my clients' journeys and to help them overcome difficulties. 20 years of practice have shown me that when faced with overwhelming struggles we must first acknowledge their existence, and only then can we reach for the help necessary to find achievable solutions. In the safety of a grounded, knowledgeable, and insight-oriented counseling experience I believe this is possible.

My areas of focus include trauma, relationship issues, emotional abuse/neglect, religious/spiritual trauma, self esteem, anxiety, and depression.
I operate from the perspective that therapy is not about changing ourselves. Rather, therapy is simply creating space for the seemingly dark, fearful, and shameful parts within us. These parts want to be seen and accepted, just as we all do. In sessions, I encourage my client to allow their body and inner wisdom to drive the progression of the therapeutic process. I believe that healing occurs as we gently move towards non-resistance and self-acceptance. This process catalyzes the body’s innate ability to transform emotions, the conscious, and the subconscious mind.

We are convinced we have a problem. We're focused on it, worried about it, and it often feels like it defines us. These problems tend to show up or worsen during life and relationship transitions. Attending to what isn't working, as well as being intentional about addressing these problems, is necessary for change. Easily overlooked though, are the jewels - the opportunities hiding behind those problems. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for growth opportunities - offering compassion to those parts of ourselves we don't like or shame us, while allowing for the fluidity, flexibility and movement required for transformations.

My areas of focus are developmental and complex trauma, relationship problems, grief, depression and anxiety.
The focus of my work with clients is re-attuning one's feeling, thinking and sensing patterns to health. Adverse life experiences and unhealthy modeling often create adaptive strategies that keep us conflicted on the inside, incapable of forming meaningful connections with others, frustrated and joyless. I combine Internal Family Systems approach, Somatic Experiencing training, trauma expertise, and psychoanalytic perspective to help clients connect to their authentic selves and embrace a journey toward fulfillment, purpose and healing. I also work with clients who do plant medicine work and provide psychedelic integration sessions.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
