There are several reasons why someone makes the decision to start therapy - relationship or family conflict, feeling hopeless or helpless, excessive worry or stress. Whatever your challenge is, we can work through it together whether you would like to meet a specific goal, improve a certain relationship, improve your overall quality of life, or if you just want a listening ear. Together we can tackle anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

I am a fully licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in the modern behavior therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Nevada - Reno, where I was clinically trained by the developers of ACT and DBT. I currently work as a clinician and as a university professor and researcher; therefore, I am well-versed in empirical research regarding the effectiveness of existing treatment interventions. Furthermore, I continue to pursue training and research in new treatment interventions so that I can bring the highest level of quality care to my clients.

I strongly believe that connecting with nature has a positive influence on both the body and the mind. My private practice is located in a farmhouse built in 1850, set on 10 acres of land with walking trails, outdoor sitting areas and gardens. I have six dwarf pygmy goats, Billy, Marigold, Juniper, Ivy, Finn and Scout that live on the property, as well as several chickens. My dog Quincy often participates in sessions, and enjoys chasing the goats if given the opportunity. Many of my clients find it therapeutic to interact with the animals, or simply sit outside feeling the sunshine and listening to the birds sing during a session.

I’ve focused on providing confidential psychotherapy for men and young men for most of my career because guys in every stage of life need support that’s tailored to their unique concerns. In a typical course of therapy, we might start by identifying your goals and then get an action plan together that might include exploration of past issues and relationships, examining current issues and symptoms, examining your irrational core beliefs, and finally moving toward preparing for the future. Using positive psychology, we’ll identify the many unique strengths you have as a man and then we’ll build upon those strengths.

We are all in this battle together. In other words, connected. We need to work together in an effort to get each person through. Therapy is about the journey into the destination.

The goal of recovery always in our sights, we can develop effective coping skills, mindfulness and meditation practices, calmness and relaxation techniques, and resilience training using strengths perspective to achieve optimal health.

All of us encounter challenges in life that can at times overwhelm us. Therapy provides a safe place to process confusing emotions, get objective feedback, learn effective ways to cope and heal. If you feel like you continue to experience the same challenges no matter what you try you may be starting to think things will never change. Please don't give up hope. I would be honored to come along side of you to help you to recognize your strengths, cope with the challenges you are facing, heal from past hurts, and find what brings you joy.

Wouldn't it feel so freeing if you no longer felt trapped in the past? Wouldn't it feel empowering to understand why your body feels on-edge or shut down and learn techniques to feel calm and fully present? Upsetting images replay themselves in your head all of the time. You want to move on from those bad experiences, but you feel stuck. You might have a hard time asking for help. Perhaps you grew up with a parent who struggled with workaholism, addiction and/or mental illness. The coping tools you learned in childhood to keep yourself safe and afloat are starting to rust. It’s time for new skills to add to your self-care toolbox.

I believe in a non-judgmental, person-centered approach to counseling in which my client feels they have a comfortable forum to examine factors that may be causing pain or unhappiness in their life. It is my mission to help individuals and families face life's challenges in a safe and supportive environment- not only to tackle their current life situation, but to gain the necessary tools to cope with future problems in a healthy and productive manner.

Are painful past experiences impacting your life today? Trauma looks different from person to person, and it influences each of us differently. Maybe you’re noticing patterns in your relationships, struggling to connect emotionally or being easily triggered by everyday things. It could be showing up like anxiety, depression, or PTSD, with flashbacks or nightmares and difficulty functioning in day-to-day life. At the Center for EMDR & Trauma Therapy, we specialize in helping people break free of the experiences holding them back from living a fulfilling and joyful life.

The foundation of any therapy is the relationship between the counselor and the client. Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship may be more important to treatment success than the specific therapeutic technique. For my part, I attempt to be the best therapist that I possibly can in regard to both the therapeutic relationship and technique. My goal is to walk with you in the therapy process. The path may be dark, but you will not be alone. I work with both couples and individuals in addressing symptoms caused by trauma.

I work with clients who have experienced childhood trauma, have been or are in a relationship with a narcissistic parent or spouse, experiencing job related stress, grieving the loss of a parent or spouse, struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I also have extensive experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum. Therapy is a collaboration between the therapist and the client. Creating a sense of safety is paramount in building trust and a strong therapeutic foundation. As a therapist, I'm highly intuitive, compassionate, empathetic, and deeply care about my clients.
