I believe there are times in a person's life when they need a trustworthy ally who offers integrity, understanding, and nonjudgement. I believe this is also someone who can help another person explore the causes of his/her/their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors and develop new ways of thinking, acting and feeling. I am committed to helping individuals, couples, and families achieve these goals in an environment that emphasizes confidentiality, respect, trust, and compassion. My specialty areas include depression, anxiety, trauma, and behavioral issues.

Are you feeling like you or your loved one should be getting more out of life than you have been? Sometimes we need a compassionate, objective person to help us sort out problems, regain perspective and enjoy life and our relationships again. It is important for you to feel a connection with your therapist and to sense that the therapist has your best interests at heart. I work from a solution-focused, experiential perspective, building on the power of the therapeutic relationship and clients' personal strengths to support lasting change while working with couples, families, individuals, and children.

With over 20 years of experience providing mental health care I am passionate about helping people find ways to cope with their problems and various life challenges. I have years of experience helping people cope with a wide range of challenges, including issues with mental health, managing life transitions and helping people set and achieve their goals in life. While I have experience in multiple treatment modalities, I often use motivational Interviewing to help people identify reasons to make important changes in their life. Additionally, I encourage the use of mindfulness techniques to manage stress and anxiety.

This is a no shame, no blame zone where you will be heard. If you ask yourself "what's wrong with me" or hear it from others, it's the wrong question. The right question is "what has happened to you?" Trauma and grief reactions are normal human responses, not pathological diagnoses. But no one is born knowing how to deal with them- not you, not your best friend. Asking for help is the first step to healing. I'm a seasoned Grief Therapist, Certified Trauma Professional and EFT (Tapping) Expert who will collaborate with you to help you clear away the chaos to a more peaceful, productive life. Good therapy works. Give a call now.

At the rate our world is changing, we are all experiencing mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual adjustments that are difficult to manage. At times, our bodies are the first to alert us that those changes are occurring. Our bodies give us signals that we are thriving and also when we are feeling anxious, stressed out, depressed and vulnerable. In the height of these circumstances, we are desperate for relief and answers. Therapy is just one avenue of experiencing hope and gaining reprieve from overwhelming feelings and emotions.

Recovery from trauma is my specialization. I care deeply about each person who steps into my office, and the alliance we can create could be life-changing for you. I am trained in EMDR, a psychotherapy that can de-code the traumatic memories and beliefs that are stuck within your brain and nervous system. EMDR can then rewire your brain with positive beliefs such as "I am good enough as I am" or "I'm valuable". Once you believe good things about yourself, you start living differently! I love EMDR and fully believe in its power to heal many different types of trauma.

I am passionate about coming alongside the first responder community (police, firefighters, EMS, dispatch) and helping them develop the mental health tools they need to not only survive, but thrive. From the stress of service calls, shift-work, and organizational politics, too many first responders come out on the other end of their service worse for the wear. Being former law enforcement, I personally experienced and witnessed this impact, and I became passionate about becoming a part of the solution by offering culturally competent mental health counseling.

I work with each person through a holistic and integrative lens. Whether I am completing an evaluation or providing therapy, it is not one size fits all. I take a lot of pride when a client tells me, “you’re not like my other therapist.” I’ve heard all sorts of reasons I’m not like others. Most often, I hear appreciation about my ability to validate and push for change at the same time. I provide individual and group therapy; working with older teenage and adult men and women. I also provide evaluation services in various areas, such as behavioral, emotional, personality, cognitive, sexual, and memory domains.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am passionate about getting to the heart of the challenge(s) my clients face.

Does your life or relationship need a major overhaul or maybe just a "tune up"? Having successfully worked with a broad range of client issues from families in transition or conflict, to individuals with severe trauma and depression, I have been exposed to enough that nothing you tell me will shock me. I will not judge you. Often it is our unconscious patterns and life stories that influence the way we feel, think and behave. I can help you understand "why" so that you can change and feel better.... or perhaps gain the tools needed to ask someone else to change. (Note: My practice and waiting list are full until 12/1/24. )
