Thank you for reading my summary. People are resourceful and resilient, often able to handle whatever comes along in relationships, school, work, and life in general. Sometimes, though, we’re faced with situations, circumstances or traumatic experiences that can feel overwhelming. Traumatic experiences, relationship problems, addiction, and others can affect life’s journey. Having a trusted, empathetic therapist can help in the healing and growth process. I use Brainspotting in my practice and am a CSAT Candidate (certified sexual addiction therapist candidate). I see clients primarily via telehealth, with periodic in-person visits.

After thirty years of practice as a psychotherapist and twenty years of teaching graduate students my primary goals remain the same: I intend to help clients discover their own strengths and resources. I enjoy empowering clients to confidently utilize their abilities to improve the quality of life and experience healing recovery from crises. An ideal client allows me to work jointly with them in a partnership to enjoy a sense of their own worth and resilience.

First off, I think it's funny that I'm even a "psychotherapist". I reluctantly started going to counseling myself in college. Surprisingly, it changed my life for the better. I never would have guessed it! It was so beneficial, I ended up getting a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy...not necessarily as a career choice, but simply to continue my personal learning and growth. I've worked in several other career fields, but no other job has even come close to matching the satisfaction I get from helping people find freedom after experiencing some of their darkest times. Now it has become my passion!

Life is hardest when we’re alone in our struggles and pain. We’re wired to bond with others and find safe connections with the ones we love. But sometimes it's hard to feel safe. And when we don't feel safe all sorts of negative emotions find their way to the surface. Anxiety, depression, sometimes even behavioral ruts like anger and shame. We just get stuck. And many times it seems like the harder we try to get out of these ruts, the more stuck we seem to get. But we all want the same things in our relationships. To be seen. To be heard. Are you there for me? Can I count on you? These are healthy goals!

Your obsessive overthinking is starting to take over. You can’t focus on work- your brain is worrying over the family trip this weekend. At home, your partner has to keep repeating himself because your mind is back at work. You’re the sounding board for everyone and never turn down a request for help- and you’re over it, but can’t imagine saying no to anyone (well, except yourself). Relaxing? Yeah right, bring on the side order of crippling guilt and extra brain noise reminding you of all your life’s mistakes! You check things over and over, but your mind is rarely content- you’re not sure you can even trust yourself.

You are not what you have done; You are what you overcome. Help is available. Asking for it is one of the strongest things you can do.

Do you feel "stuck"? Are you tired of struggling with, or worse yet, avoiding things that have bothered you for a while? Are there things in your life you cannot seem to get past? Are you ready to be your best you? Is your relationship not where it once was, or where you would like it to be now?

I am eager to work with persons who are experiencing distressing feelings/thoughts and/or feeling “stuck” in self-limiting behavior patterns that are nudged by an “inner call” to try something different.

It can be difficult to balance all the needs and demands of life, as well as those of people you love and care for, while still taking care of yourself. Circumstances can be made even more difficult when a person is dealt a major setback in the form of depression, anxiety, family or work stress, or a traumatic experience. The good news is that each of us has the strength and courage necessary to overcome even the most challenging obstacles. Sometimes we just need some help to realize our strengths and then put together a plan to make the most of them.
