You don't have to stay stuck in survival mode.
Maybe you grew up in a home where the adults were emotionally unavailable, caught up in their own pain — divorce, loss, instability. You learned early to read the room, manage everyone else's feelings, and keep yourself small. That's adaptation, not a character flaw.
But those patterns may be keeping you stuck now — in relationships, at work, or in that persistent feeling that something is off, even when life looks fine on paper. You're high-functioning, but carrying a quiet ache. Unsure of who you are beneath the roles you play.

Life is hard. If you struggle with anxiety, grief, loss or life-altering trauma, I can help you. Many of us find ourselves in relationships pleasing others at the expense of losing ourselves. Not able to say what we think, feel and need we cannot set boundaries so disassociate our head from our heart. Fragmented we want to be defined. yet stay connected, but don't know how. I am a trauma informed therapist with 25 years experience.

I’m passionate about helping people who are struggling with the weight of past trauma—whether from childhood or adulthood—and feel stuck in patterns they desperately want to change. Trauma shapes how we view ourselves, others, and the world, often without us realizing it. This can leave us feeling like life should be different, yet no matter what we try, things stay the same. It’s exhausting, but it doesn’t have to be this way. In a safe, compassionate space, we’ll explore how your past influences your present. Together, we’ll break free from old patterns so you can experience lasting healing and freedom.

Depression, anxiety, mood swings, anger, and relationship issues can all have a profoundly negative impact on your life. People will often try to cope by turning to alcohol, drugs, and excessive electronic usage — as a way of avoiding dealing with these issues. While it is necessary to work through these negative coping patterns, it is more important to get to the underlying issues that fuel these behaviors. As a Clinical Psychologist, I have helped people identify these underlying issues, and then deal with them effectively. The goal is to get at the root of the problem so that it is gone for good.

My treatment long specialized in work with young males, adult men and families in crisis, but has now broadened to working with all genders and stages of development.

I believe all people need to be recognized and valued as creative, sovereign, powerful and emotional human beings. Please note: I co-own and operate a group practice, Mandala House, when you call the number in my profile, your call will be directed there. Thank you.
