Life is hard and often not fair at times. We seek therapy to feel heard, validated and find ways to move through our pain. I work with a broad range of individuals, couple's and families. My passion is helping those with relational issues, developmental trauma, substance use as well as eating disorders. I will work with individuals (13+). I love working with transplants as I understand the complexities of moving to another part of the country and not knowing the culture. My goal is to help you find yourself, that internal voice that tells you, "you are worthy, you are enough."

Life hands us all kinds of challenges and stress. I will provide a safe place for you to share your experiences and seek support for the many things life throws at you. I am very straight forward and honest in my approach with people, however have a gentle and compassionate energy. Whether you are in a relationship or not, I will help you learn to identify and say what your needs are, learn to listen and respond generously to others, set limits and stand up for yourself.

As a therapist I work hard to understand my patients at a personal level. I provide a warm and trusting atmosphere where we can explore the difficulties in their lives. Together, through the therapeutic relationship we work on emotional problems to make deep and lasting changes. We address road blocks which may have developed over the years and seem to keep them stuck in negative patterns. Through an increased awareness of these patterns alternative choices can be made by my patients. Working together in therapy my patients are increasingly able to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

I believe that human health must include attending to our psychological and emotional selves. Just as we exercise our bodies, we can exercise our minds – what might we benefit from exploring about what and how and why we “do what we do?” I seek to be a partner to people seeking: Relief from emotional distress; understanding of how the past affects functioning in the present; an opportunity to experience being seen in wholeness; to develop skills and strategies to manage the impact of mental illness; a path to greater self-acceptance and compassion; healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I am currently only accepting new neurofeedback clients, free consultations. I know that finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming task. Here's what you should know about me as a practitioner: I have an enduring belief that human beings have the inherent capacity to heal, become whole. This belief informs everything I do within the therapy process. Our work together becomes a collaborative process meant to faciliate your healing: my job in this process is to use my knowledge, experience and skills to help you heal and grow; your job is to show up fully and commit to active engagement in the the work of therapy.

Through our work together, we will discover the reasons you continue to struggle, and map out a path to personal recovery. My desire is to help you, your partner, and your family, grow closer, and experience the love, and intimacy that is available to you. The secret to happiness is inside of you, just waiting to be acknowledged. Let me help you embrace emotional freedom by giving you the tools for success in love and life!

Sometimes we find ourselves struggling, and it seems that no matter how hard we try, we cannot seem to find a way out on our own. It can be difficult to seek help, and I believe that a collaborative, trusting, and empathic therapeutic relationship serves as the foundation for clients to experience meaningful growth and healing. I provide therapy to adults, children, couples, and families. Some of my specialties include working with adults recovering from trauma; facing relationship issues; or suffering from anxiety or depression. I also often work with children struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or life transitions.

Does it feel like something is preventing you from having the life you want despite your efforts to change? I work with clients to help them examine their lives and gain meaning and understanding of their experiences. Together we can resolve your emotional distress. I work with adults on a range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationships, and major life changes. My experience working overseas makes me uniquely skilled to work cross-culturally.

Ever increasing levels of stress and anxiety are commonplace in modern life. We have become so accustomed to living in this chronic state of hyper arousal that we now consider it to be a "normal" baseline of daily functioning. Unfortunately, for many this state of increased anxiety can begin to feel debilitating, demoralizing, and inescapable. It's hard to describe the feelings of hopelessness and isolation that those who suffer from severe anxiety face. It can wreak havoc on our most important relationships, limit our ability to grow, to be authentic, playful and creative, flexible, empathic and patient with ourselves and others.

Cedar Hill Therapy provides sensitive, knowledgeable, evidence-based therapy to individuals and all relational structures.

Are you experiencing difficulty with personal or work life issues or relationships? Are you unsure about how to bring up issues at home or work to have a constructive discussion? Do you avoid issues hoping that they'll get better or go away? Do you repress your feelings about the "little" things then lose your "cool"? I develop trusting relationships with clients while working on these issues and others. I view the client and myself as a team focused on gaining insight and skills so the client can cope with present day issues and enhance relationships.

I have a few immediate openings for new clients. I am passionate about assisting and empowering people to achieve a healthy and peaceful life. I believe in a collaborative work between the therapist and patient to realize the needs of every person and support them in the process of self-discovery and restoration. I aim to provide a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment for patients to explore their concerns and be able to gain insight on how to heal and depart from their underlying issues.

Good therapy is challenging, at times fun, yet always affirming. I work diligently with my clients to help them develop insights, designed to enhance their overall life fulfillment.

Life can be hard and when it is you may feel alone, but you don't have to be. Have you felt anxious, overwhelmed, sad, hopeless, or angry? Do you or your child have trouble concentrating on one thing at a time? Do you ever wonder what is happening to my child? Have you wondered where are all of these feelings coming from? Or, do you just want to talk to someone who will listen? If you have answered yes to any of these questions I can help you. I will offer you a safe space to work through all of those feelings.

I have a few immediate openings for clients. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and warm environment where clients are free to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions. I believe that healing occurs in a space that feels welcoming and nonjudgmental. It takes courage to seek help, and my goal is to help you feel understood and empowered throughout the healing process. I work collaboratively with clients to help them find deeper understanding of themselves, their thoughts and behaviors.

I use biofeedback plus Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help people accomplish their goals, including reducing or eliminating the need for medications. I work with Liz Nash, MA, LMFT, AT-RBC and Brenda Hightshow, MA, LPCC. We work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, traumatic brain injury and learning disabilities. I use quantitative EEG "brain mapping" with a normative database when the need is to establish why people are having the symptoms they're having. Quantitative EEG identifies problems we address with EEG Biofeedback, which helps clients learn to pay attention without drugs, relax, and feel more like themselves.

I empower couples and individuals to overcome personal obstacles. Areas of special interest include couples and individuals coping with chemical addictions, anxiety & depression, grief & loss, and intimate relationships. I assist my clients to find an understanding of themselves in order to strengthen their connections and their relationships. With deep compassion and no judgment, I welcome all.

It’s easy to get stuck in life. From anxiety to depression to experiencing a significant loss, there are many ways people get stuck. The good news? Stuck is not forever.
