I enjoy working with adults, children and families who are struggling with life's transitions. The most important aspect of counseling is the relationship that I will build with you. It is through this relationship that change occurs. I will collaborate with you to identify an approach that fits best with your goals. I will use your strengths as building blocks in the counseling process. I will walk with you through the process of change and healing. If you are feeling stuck or ready to make changes in your life please consider reaching out to schedule a consultation.

EMDR Certified Therapist. Stop feeling worried, anxious or depressed. Do you struggle with feeling good about yourself or feeling unfulfilled in your relationships? Do you want to improve your motivation and achievements? Sounds like you need a change, and there is no better time than now. I have focused my work on helping the individual and family heal from a place of love and understanding. Pulling from multiple evidence based counseling techniques and foundations of counseling including CBT and EMDR, I blend authentic caring with here and now problem solving and skill building to handle the ebb and flow of life.

Note: During the CoronaVirus Crisis, I am offering online/telehealth sessions. Visit my website for details! I work with kids, adolescents, and adults, leading them to their "A-ha" moments. I make difficult concepts simple using humor, story-telling & analogies. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions which may be obstacles to getting where you would like to be. I also rely heavily on Positive Psychology, which uses a strength-based approach (rather than a focus on problems). When working with Traumatic events, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Do you find yourself bottling things up and believe others would not understand? Do you become so stressed at times that you cannot concentrate at work or school, even to point of avoiding loved ones? Periods of uncertainty and trials come into our lives, but its how we choose to deal with that change that impacts our quality of life. If you're feeling confused, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious or lacking a sense of direction, therapy can help you build the strength you need to get through it and be prepared for whatever life throws your way.

Do you feel alone, powerless and stuck in the same repeated arguments? Do you long for the connection and friendship you once had with your partner? When relationships are hurting, it affects everything. Underneath the painful surface could be many issues such as depression, ADHD, anxiety, shame, infidelity, substance use or parenting challenges. You deserve counseling based on science and research. You deserve respect and acceptance as you work through strengthening your relationship. Each couple has strengths and resiliencies that just need to be connected to the right tools for effective connection.

Are you noticing that life is difficult to cope with because of past and unhealthy relationships with your parents/guardians? Were you neglected, abandoned or rejected as a child? Do you find it difficult to trust yourself or others? Do you have bouts of feeling undeserving, inadequate, or finding yourself in unhealthy or short-lived relationships? Do you want a life free from past hurt and antagonizing childhood trauma? Do you want to experience living a life free from self-sabotaging, self-doubt, and negative self-talk? Would you like to create a life that you are worthy of having?

I am passionate in creating a safe place for each of my clients working collaboratively towards their personal goals while addressing life's challenges. I believe, with a healthy therapeutic relationship one can explore and bring to the surface their own path and hearts desire, getting unstuck and rediscovering your direction. I spent the first years of my career in a clinical environment working with adolescents, adults and first responders/military processing trauma and PTSD. I am trained in EMDR therapy and combine it using an eclectic therapeutic approach.

Are you struggling with chronic relapse, binges, sex/love/porn addiction, excess substance use, dissociative disorder, or attachment issues? Do you want to decrease your urge to vape, smoke marijuana/nicotine, or drink? Have you experienced social phobia, one or more addictions, sexual abuse, or trauma? Are you suffering from grief and loss or complex PTSD?

Are you tired of feeling anxious, burnt out, and overwhelmed? Do you spend your days worried about what others think of you? If so, I want to empower you with new skills to find relief and create meaningful change. Through the use of CBT, ACT, and EMDR you can learn skills to address codependence, people pleasing, and difficulty saying no or setting boundaries. We will work to address intrusive thoughts and feelings of unworthiness or self-blame that prevent you from living your most meaningful life. When speaking about sensitive topics, you will be met with compassion and acceptance instead of shame or judgment.

Online therapy is central in my practice. It is effective, convenient and greatly appreciated by my clients. Scheduling sessions works well with almost everyone's calendar.

I approach therapy as a dynamic partnership - where proven technique and deep relational connection yield cognitive, emotional and spiritual integration. Honing technique to fit client needs + personalized connectivity yields clarity and growth. Moving through the process, we target and work toward this result...together.
