Do you feel down or maybe not like yourself due to something that's come up? Is there a change occurring that you're struggling with? Your recent, near past or past experiences come up & you struggle to make sense of it all, wondering if you will feel better & be able to move on. Do you find yourself worrying & fixating on past events more than you like? You overthink your behaviors & wish you could go back for a do-over. Or you feel off due to changes with a loved one, family member or partner?

My clients are mid-career professionals, most of whom are active duty military, veterans or first responders. They've achieved a lot in life - but not without a cost. I utilize EMDR, Flash, grief counseling, existential therapy and ACT to support clients healing addiction, trauma and grief to further flourishing and building the life they envision. These approaches also support performance enhancement in every aspect of life. I am familiar with practical aspects of seeking therapy for my clients, including concerns related to security clearance and operating successfully in elite communities.

Trauma, addiction, and other personal stressors can feel overwhelming and confusing when confronted alone. Together, the client and therapist can work toward healing, growth, and change. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings helping clients resolve complicated issues in their personal and professional lives. I have an extensive background in treating addiction as it pertains to the individual and the family. Additionally, my work has focused on codependency, men's and women's issues, trauma/PTSD, relationship stress, and developing healthy communication with others. I also work with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.

Even strong, smart, successful people know when to utilize the help of experts. Maybe you’re not in crisis, just a couple in a “good enough” relationship, but some of the time things get painfully off track. Or an individual whose life seems to be going pretty well on the outside – but privately, you’re hurting. Sometimes, your ways of “getting by” turn into habits that need to be amended. It’s not always clear how to go about initiating change and it helps to have an objective perspective. Counseling is a great way to improve your life. Together we will explore, identify, and rebuild habits and patterns to provide lasting change.

Starting to explore our own behaviors can be scary. Creating a safe space and trusting relationship where people can deeply explore what is blocking them from enjoying their lives to the fullest is the utmost importance for healing. Every person's path is different and no one heals exactly the same. I work primarily (not limited to) clients who are seeking to work on issues related to trauma, depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. I have experience working with first responders, active duty/ veterans, medical professionals, pilots, and attorneys.

Working in the mental health field since 2008, I have had the opportunity to work with a a great diversity of populations in a wide variety of settings. Each clinical encounter has helped shape my present practice. Over time, I have learned much about humans, our fundamental need for connection and understanding, and our great potential for healing and growth. I have cultivated a practice based on forming and maintaining therapeutic relationships that hold space and allow for important personal work to be done. Recently much of my work has been with adults in transitional states, including new parents and college students.

"People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are" -Carl Rogers I believe that if a person is given the appropriate environment and support they can become their best self. Together we can take a look inward and work toward developing and unlocking the best you. For years we often hold ourselves prisoner, allow me the privilege to assist with developing personal insight into past traumas and future successes.

Through working together, we can tackle the challenges of the past by allowing space to process what has occurred, learn from the past ,and move forward with increased awareness of the present moment.
