Hi there! I am SO glad that you are here. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma that was experienced either in childhood or later in life, and the numerous things that often follow. For some individuals this looks like healing shame, anxiety, depression, grief, difficulty with connection or attachment in relationships, struggles with intimacy or trust, addictions or compulsive behaviors, disordered eating, and a multitude of other things. I believe healing occurs best in supported connection. I work to create a safe space where you feel comfortable examining beliefs and behaviors that may no longer serve you and begin the process of healing. I’ve been where you are. I know the struggles of feeling stuck and overwhelmed as well as the joy and light that can exist on the other side. I take a collaborative approach to the counseling relationship and am in no way a "sit-and-nod" therapist! I believe fully that YOU are the expert on your life and my hope is to help guide your journey to healing and growth while promoting your autonomy and power of choice.

Let's talk if you feel irritated, unfilled, tired, or don't know what to do from here. Maybe you're dealing with childhood physical or emotional abuse, grieving a loved one's suicide, loneliness, the aftermath of a car crash or assault, coming to terms with your religious harm, going through a divorce or relationship issue, or constantly on physical and mental edge. You want to understand what's happening and make decisions that will actually help with your life goals. Ultimately, you want comfort and freedom. There's good news- you can get there. View 9 Photos EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatics offer you more than just "talking about it" or "correcting irrational thoughts." If it were logical, you would have already figured it out. The body holds your trauma and grief, and we work with your brain and body. We use your natural ability to heal and evidenced-based therapy to get you unstuck. If you're feeling scared, sad, stuck, broken, bad, or angry, I get it, and I'm here for it. And guess what? You're not bad or broken. Your feelings prime you for action and no feeling is "wrong." Let's work together to rebuild your self-trust and overcome your disconnection so you can live a life you're happy with.

*** CURRENTLY NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS *** Therapy offers the opportunity to make lasting positive changes in life and in relationships. By exploring the role the past has played in current difficulties and dissolving old, destructive patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, life can be more balanced and joyful. I offer warmth, compassion, support, and insight to my clients, with an approach that is direct, non-judgmental, and tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual. Oriented toward building on natural strengths and empowering meaningful changes, our work together can foster an increased ability to more adaptively attend to the ever-changing flow of life. Together, we will work toward identifying destructive behavioral patterns and replace them with empathy for ourselves and those around us. Learning the art of non-judgmental awareness - mindfulness - we will explore these themes, connecting more intimately with the memories, emotions, thoughts, and sensations fundamentally associated with them. By exploring unmet childhood and current attachment needs, we learn to conquer self-defeating habits and discover a new way of approaching our thoughts, emotions, and personal behavior. Empowering ourselves to get our basic needs met in this way, we move toward creating greater balance, harmony, and joy in our lives.

Welcome to my profile! I am honored to take this moment to share a bit about my counseling approach and philosophy of helping. I believe that individuals have within themselves the power and tools to improve the quality of their lives. I am passionate about providing a welcoming place to assist individuals in becoming more aware of what they want and need, the choices they have in life, and their own potential to heal. I view counseling as a collaborative process of building on the strengths and assets of clients and promote these to maximize life satisfaction and healthy living. My work is guided by the values of compassion, collaboration, acceptance, and client autonomy. I focus on guiding clients to live their best lives and acknowledge their own ideas for behavior change. If counseling is successful, you should feel stronger in your ability to face life's challenges and uncover personal strengths. I utilize many techniques in counseling, primarily designed to increase awareness, provide encouragement, challenge faulty cognitive patterns, and clarify and explore goals of behavior. I am an expert in Motivational Interviewing and use this model as one primary intervention. I also provide clinical assessment services at the client's request.

NOT accepting new clients. I am excited to welcome more convenience to mental healthcare via telehealth. Telehealth is probably easier, cheaper, and more effective than you may think. I know anxiety, anger, and hopelessness can be paralyzing. They can control your mind and dominate your days, straining your health and relationships. With compassion and a bit of humor, I can help you find peace in your heart and the courage to expect more from yourself and others. I specialize and have had a lot of success in helping people that suffer from anxiety, depression and trauma or loss. Both cognitive-behavioral and cognitive-processing therapies are short term, evidence-based intervention approaches that I use and find highly effective. You don't have to face this alone. We can find long-term wellness together. I truly enjoy my work and especially love working with couples. Eight sessions can make a big difference in feeling more connected to your partner. I believe there are two truths in a relationship and I respect and honor both.

Working alongside you is an honor and privilege I will treat with deep respect.

I believe counseling should be more than just managing symptoms and changing behavior. we each have a story that may be effecting how we are living life today. Additionally, many times in life we experience loss and this goes unprocessed, unheard, and many people become silent sufferers, which can then lead to more significant mental health struggles. By helping individuals and couples mourn their loss, I help individuals not get stuck in their grief and find renewal, balance, hope and healing. I am a licensed professional counselor with 20 years experience working in the mental health field. Having worked in a wide range of settings from psychiatric hospitals, large health care systems and in private practice, I have refined my skills and have chosen to specialize in Grief and Loss, Trauma Healing, EMDR, and Couples therapy. I believe that everyone struggles with something, though not all struggles look the same. I am honored to use my natural skill sets to help individuals find healing in their life and their relationships through looking at the present, past, and future through objective compassionate eyes.

Are you struggling to show up in the present? Do you ever feel 'haunted' by past experiences that foreclose your way toward the future you want? I have met such roadblocks myself and believe that building a healthy interpersonal relationship in therapy paves the road to unlocking your goals & desires. I have specialties working with queer women & femmes in addressing anxiety, t/Trauma processing & recovery, sexual assault, and identity exploration. Gestalt therapy is oriented around building awareness: of ourselves, of our thoughts & behaviors, of our choices, and of our physical systems that are constantly sending us invaluable data about our experiences. I believe that for each of us to increase this awareness brings us more fully into the present, and only in the present do we have agency to change. Therapy is a dialogue. Together we can build the skills & practices you need to take authority over your life, including increased confidence & self-esteem, maintaining healthy interpersonal boundaries, and building new neural pathways that concretize the change you want to see & be.

Tired of enduring a difficult life, career or relationship? Looking for practical, out-of-the-box solutions for anxiety, depression, and the life circumstances that cause them? Tried therapy before with disappointing results? For 35 years, I have been augmenting traditional therapeutic methods with a variety of techniques, including EMDR Therapy, CRM Therapy, heart rate variability training (Heartmath), body centered approaches, mindfulness training, hypnosis, and ego-state interventions, to facilitate deep internal changes. These interventions take place within the context of a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. My therapeutic style is interactive, engaging, and collaborative. Having specialized in trauma-based symptoms, I have witnessed how unprocessed trauma - especially subtle childhood trauma and attachment failures - lead to symptoms that might not initially appear related to our history. Over time, these traumas may manifest in depression, anxiety, relational conflicts, or career challenges. EMDR done online via remote. My multidimensional techniques and strategies can soften the traumatic underpinnings of these symptoms and make life easier. I offer a free short phone consultation followed by a free initial session if we are not a good match. Individuals, couples and families ages 14 and up.

In life we frequently encounter obstacles between where we are and what we want to achieve.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Clinical Psychology and graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My therapy approach is taken from an attachment theory and perspective. I believe humans are wired to feel connected and that we all greatly benefit from healthy relationships. Without this connectedness, we may experience loneliness or isolation. I provide a safe, accepting space for individuals, couples, and families using a positive Existential Therapy Model to support self-awareness, meaningful relationships, and values of life. View 5 Photos Together with my clients, I help identify personal strengths, increase self-worth, explore family behavioral patterns and roadblocks to developing healthy relationships. Most important in my therapy practice is to help clients celebrate the freedom of empowerment, healing, and connectedness - all of which I believe leads to personal growth. I have worked with a variety of populations and culturally diverse ethnic groups managing attachment injuries, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, high functioning Autism, codependency, grief, marital/family conflict, infidelity, parenting issues, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, women/men’s issues, and day-to-day stressors.

I believe in transparency and honesty. I have experienced my own difficulties and challenges in life after 22 years in the U.S. Army and I am in recovery from PTSD and substance abuse. Nobody wakes up one morning and decides to be addicted to substances. It just happens. We are not weak, defective, useless, worthless, morally corrupt, or any other disparaging comments often said about individuals with a Substance Use Disorder. We are loving individuals that are just hurting inside. We want what everyone else wants....to just be accepted and needed for who we are. I use an eclectic approach to therapy; including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement, Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Just as each one of us are unique with our own individualistic personalities, I too believe therapy should be tailored to the individual. There is no one model that fits everyone. I have been there. After my return from my third combat deployment, I began abusing prescription medication and alcohol. Fortunately, I was blessed with the opportunity to get help. This journey has led me to dedicating my life to helping others experiencing similar difficulties. I don't have all of the answers, but I do know the way out.

Does taking a break mean locking yourself in the house after a long day/week just to binge-watch Netflix, Hulu, YouTube or scroll Facebook, Instagram or TikTok? Do social situations leave you feeling “on-guard” or “out of place”? Feeling disconnected from friends, family, co-workers or even yourself? Pain (emotional, physical or psychological) is the one constant you count on each and every day. Your past continues to trigger sadness or anger, or you may not remember it at all. We help answer the questions "Where do I want to go in life?" - "Who do I want to go there with?" View 10 Photos If it hasn’t been said, "we are all created to live life, not struggle with relationships, abuse or careers," it should be! We believe experiences are moments you’ve had, but are not the things that define WHO you are. Those experiences, more importantly, hold the solution to get to the "best you”! Let us help you get there. You may read other sites that say they “provide a confidential, supportive and safe environment.” While we think that’s a great thing to hear, We want you to know we are offering a safe place (office) where you are allowed to vent, scream, cry and work through your unique issues without judgment or harassment.
