You were once performing at the top of your game and now you find yourself missing the spark you once had. You were injured, physically healed, but still cannot perform at the level you once were. No matter what you do or how hard you practice, you are still coming up short of the expectations of your coach, family, and most importantly yourself. You have tried everything with no luck leaving your confidence shaken and questioning if you’ve lost your touch. What if I miss the next shot? What if I get injured again? What if I let my team down? The more you focus on the “What if’s” the worse your difficulty becomes.

My work involves providing therapeutic support for people struggling with Autism, Level 1, as well as their partners and parents. I am a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. I am also happy to work with individuals that are experiencing trauma, bereavement, and spiritual questioning/transition.

A strong therapeutic relationship can support your goals to improve relationships, learn to be regulated and live a more fulfilled life. I do this by encouraging open communication and healthy boundaries, providing psychoeducational support, processing emotional issues and trauma and teaching the art and science of mindfulness. I provide psychotherapy to adolescents and adults who may be experiencing behavioral and emotional issues, depression, anxiety, trauma and relational issues. I will bring intensity and humor to the dynamic therapeutic relationship. Relationships are important, perhaps more now than ever!

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples. My areas of focus include relational and intimacy difficulties, the LGBTQ community, anxiety, depression, and grief/loss.

You are facing some challenges in your life like trauma, mood disorders, chronic health or pain issues, perhaps with co-occurring diagnoses of mental health & addiction. You might be struggling in your relationships as a spouse, partner or parent. You need a collaborative partnership with a trauma-informed therapist who will customize their approach towards your care, work with you to understand your needs, recognize your strengths and learn to address your challenges. You are looking for a therapist who is responsive to your culture, sexuality & uniqueness. You could work with the therapist as an individual, a couple or a family.

I have an extensive experience working with mental health and substance use issues and supporting families. I enjoy working with individuals and couples; as well as parent coaching. Areas of specialty are anxiety and depression, women's emotional health, aging, trauma, grief and loss, body image and disordered eating, co-dependency, self-esteem, self-harm, and substance abuse/dependence. My approach is adaptive to whom I am working with. I have training in and utilize motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, solution focus, EMDR, 12 step facilitation, as well as psychoeducation.

I teach practical and research based tools that help manage anxiety and depression. Therapy helps manage current levels of distress as well as underlying unresolved pain from the past. I encourage the process of developing an authentic and integrated relationship to one's self and others. At the same time, I often give direct advice. I have provided psychotherapy for over 23-years and believe it works! I am aware that most people seek therapy after having had many attempts to address their symptoms alone and remained confused. I want to join you in the journey of healing and growth.
