"Now accepting New Clients" I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that uses a collaborative approach drawing from evidence-based treatment models. Our work together will be customized to fit your needs. I work with individuals, families, teens, and children ages 7 and up dealing with various issues. My specialties include family trauma, childhood trauma, grandparents raising grandchildren, and parenting issues.

I believe that mental health issues arise when we are faced with overwhelming emotions in isolation. Without the necessary support, emotions get so big and daunting that we defend ourselves against them, leading to numbness, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to invite intense emotions into the room so that we can learn to regulate them together and they can be reincorporated into the psyche, leading to a fuller and healthier life.

Do you live with feelings of anxiety, depression, or being overwhelmed? Are you navigating conflict with a partner or family member? Do you experience difficulty with time management and organization? Whether you are going through a life transition, having relationship difficulties, or addressing issues from PTSD, I am here to help. I utilize structured and supportive modalities that create a thoughtful and safe counseling environment that empowers you to do the work and move forward on your path to healing and independence.

My practice is rooted in Brainspotting and guided by parts work / polyvagal theory. With the overall goal of releasing old narratives to create room for new experiences. I work with Veterans, First-Line Responders, Counselors as well as Clients with PTSD, C-PTSD, DID and Attachment wounds. I also provide communication enhancement skills for Couples, Blended Family Issues and Co-Parenting Concerns.

Overwhelmed by stress? Stress can be positive, motivating you to perform well. But chronic stress may cause irritability, difficulty concentrating, and fatigue. Having trouble getting along with others at work, school, or home? We will increase your resilience and improve your relationships. With skills and experience in trauma healing, I treat a variety of conditions, including depression and anxiety, as well as PTSD. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), and mindfulness skills.

I specialize in working with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and life transitions. These situations can be difficult to navigate on our own, but with the help of a third party to understand the goals and priorities, these situations can become more manageable. My ideal client is someone who wants to work as a partner in the therapy process to achieve a better understanding of their needs in a way that makes sense to them. I believe that individuals are the expert in their own lives, and my job is to provide insight and observations to better understand how your inherent strengths can help you through tough times.

I specialize in working with youth and families who have experienced trauma, have difficulty regulating their emotions, or are having difficulties in school. I understand it can be difficult for a child or adolescent to seek mental health services; I use various techniques including play and art to help engage my clients in the counseling process. I make sure to involve clients in every step of the way to ensure that the treatment plan and interventions meet the client’s unique needs. I also offer tele-counseling if transportation is an issue or you simply want to stay home!

Building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the forefront of my work, though I’m aware this looks differently with each of my clients. I see the process of change as occurring in the context of relationships and through exploration of patterns that may be preventing one from living a fulfilling life. Through the discovery of these patterns, we can begin to understand how to live life more genuinely. I am a relational and psychodynamic therapist who incorporates various therapeutic approaches and interventions, including cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques.

Do you have anxiety or depression, coping with stress, low self-esteem, or navigating a life transition? Perhaps a trusted person in your life told you it was time to try therapy. It is time for you. We can explore your communication, expectations, and own boundaries for a healthy relationship with yourself and others. Choose to work on yourself in a safe, soft environment with no judgment. I'll walk next to you on your journey helping you to find what works for you, so you can pursue your pathway to healing and growth. Your way.

You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.

I practice with the belief that therapy can be a rich and vital exploration into understanding the deepest parts of our selves: the parts we cherish as well as the parts we want to change. We all have unconscious patterns that can get in the way of living the life we want to lead. These patterns can manifest as anxiety, depression, phobias, physical illness or pain, addiction, even rage. These symptoms can affect relationships, work, self esteem, creativity, and sexuality. Change is possible when these patterns can be expressed and understood in an open, and accepting space.

I enjoy counseling men, women and teens from all walks of life. Often men and women who come to counseling are not sure what to expect from the process. I will listen to your stories of where you have been, where you are now and where you hope to be in the future. Together we will try to find the solution that works best for you. Over the years, I have counseled individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse and trauma.

I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 36 years. My experience both professionally and personally has taught me that all of us may experience problems coping with life's changes. I see therapy as helping people maximize their individual strengths while learning to problem solve their own issues. I believe the primary ingredients for therapy are respect, compassion and understanding. I feel I can offer this to anyone who comes to work with me.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor who has been working in this field for the past ten years. During that time I have worked in both private practice and community mental health where I have treated a wide variety of disorders, conditions, and life stressors. I aim to offer a compassionate, solution driven, and confidentially environment. During the course of my career I have learned that no two situations are the same and interventions need to be tailored to individual situations.
