With over 30 years as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in healing complex trauma, offering a unique blend of EMDR, CBT, Play Therapy techniques, Attachment Theory, and the pioneering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. My approach, developed through years of experience and enriched by my affiliations with APA, MHCA, EMDRIA, APT and ACA, is founded on a novel triage model. This model harnesses cutting-edge, FDA-approved tools to access, desensitize, and reprocess trauma, demonstrating that we truly can "retrain the BRAIN!"
My practice stands out for its fusion of advanced therapeutic techniques with a deep belief in human resilience. Whether you're grappling with emotional disturbances or past triggers, there is hope. Our therapeutic model has a track record of proven outcomes, ensuring a seamless, empowering journey to mental wellness.
Your path to healing is a collaborative, transformative journey. In our healing partnership, your experiences are acknowledged, your courage is celebrated, and your holistic recovery is the priority. It's not merely about surviving; it's about thriving, and I am dedicated to guiding you through this profound process of change.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
