I understand that your emotional health and relationships are important, and you deserve to receive quality assistance with these vital aspects of your life. The cornerstone of my practice is the belief in the importance of each client's perspective, their wishes and needs. I believe every client with whom I work deserves personalized care, respect, and responsiveness. This attitude helps clients feel safe opening up and trying new ways of approaching life's challenges. Whether you seek individual, couples, or family therapy (or perhaps some combination of these) I invite you to call.

Tired of the seemingly endless cycle of frustrations, heartaches, and hurts? Do you desire a more meaningful relationship where emotional safety and security is not only talked about but is embraced? Isn't there something within you that longs for so much more?

Do you struggle with a sense of failure?...An avoidance of being yourself for fear of rejection or criticism?...Are you anxious or sad and overwhelmed?... Inner struggles often result in outward stress and confusion in relationships, parenting, work or school performance, and life enjoyment. It's time for you to step out of the shadows of self-doubt and worry. Therapy can help you feel better about yourself and your relationships, while also providing effective tools for handling challenges. You deserve a fulfilling life that includes feeling good about yourself and enjoying your important relationships.

Scared, worried, depressed, anxious, insecure, or guilty. These feelings are valid and almost expected with the amount of pressure society puts on our appearances, productivity, and successes. It sometimes can be difficult to find happiness and acceptance for who we are. My hope is to empower clients on their therapeutic journey through connection, collaboration, and providing tools as well as insight on how to manage and accept these feelings more effectively.

Welcome to my psychoanalytic practice! I work well with people who are self-reflective, curious, and who want to make improvements in their relationships, and overall sense of well-being. Our minds have a huge influence on how we think and feel each day; slowing down and noticing subtle aspects of ourselves with a trained analyst can provide much needed integration of powerful emotions that have not yet had a voice for expression. Sometimes people can articulate emotions without feeling them, and other times emotions are experienced in the body and do not have words. Integrating feelings and thoughts vitalizes human life.

My desire is to help adults and adolescents on their path of discovery toward self-fulfillment. Using evidence-based treatment practices, we will uncover the core barriers of living your life to the fullest.

Some areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, and working with military families.

Therapy is a journey and lived experience. The connection, empowerment, and shifts I get to be apart of are what keep me motivated and striving to be the therapist that I am. My hope is to empower clients through connection and collaboration and I feel honored to be invited on your journey. In my free time, I practice self-care through my own therapeutic journey, I enjoy playing and watching hockey, I enjoy hiking in the Foothills, I take my dog “Angel” on car rides to her favorite places, and spend time with my closest friends and family. Should you invite me on your journey, I hope to help you to reach your therapeutic goals.

30+ years of clinical experience based upon a foundation in Post Traumatic Stress, Addictions, Family Systems and Crisis Intervention has provided a rich diversity of knowledge and skill. I have noticed that irrespective of the life challenges people experience, one common underlying result was self alienation leading to a disconnection from Self and others. I became passionate about empowering individuals...guiding them through the changes they desired. I am a “big picture” holistic thinker, with the ability to see essential detail...the pieces of the picture and their “best fit.” Most of all I model relational presence...

Many people suffer from chronic or acute pain, believe me I know! ( for 3 years). I tried PT, Chiropractic, pain management, medication and injections, acupuncture, dry needling and more, even surgery. I finally got some relief with surgery and then with myofascial release and trigger point release. My first goal was to be able to tie my own shoes, then go up and down the stairs like an adult instead of a toddler, be pain free, increase ROM and strength, and get back to enjoying my life , back to being me. Let's get you back to being you!

Our team specializes in helping children, adolescents, and adults struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, borderline personality disorder, trauma, and family dynamic challenges. We utilize techniques that are largely cognitive-behavioral, experiential, and structural. Our team also offers biofeedback to help with self-regulation and anxiety. Finally, we offer trauma-focused equine-assisted psychotherapy. We have found that horses & people can help each other heal beautifully.

People have an inherent need to be understood and tell their story in order to live the life they imagine. My job as therapist is to listen, and learn from you and guide you toward better self-care, and to make the changes necessary to look inside yourself to see what might be holding you back from living a full happy life. As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe often times the things which keep us from moving forward are in our environment, such as toxic relationships, poverty, lack of education, drugs and alcohol, and past traumas.

Kids face all sorts of pressures, choices, challenges, and traumas in our culture today that affect the way they connect and engage with their worlds around them. It can look like anxiety, depression, behavioral acting out, emotional walling-off, etc. I work with children and families to investigate and discover what's needed to repair and rebuild the damaged or broken pieces that affect kids day to day. As a parent, you're hoping for ways to help understand what your child is going through and learn more effective ways of supporting them through the hard places so that your family can find its sense of peace, love, and connection.

We are not free to decide if struggle will enter our lives. But we are free to decide how we respond to it. I have had over 30 years of experience assisting individuals and couples taking the raw material of pain and struggle and turning it into an opportunity for growth and change. If you are depressed, anxious, experiencing loss or transition; if you are feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner, your relationship is not a safe haven,or old wounds remain unforgiven, take the first step in the change process by setting an appointment for individual or couple counseling.

I work with clients seeking relationship help and issues with depression. I help clients feel safe sharing past emotional wounds from childhood and share with each other what makes each individual feel loved. Couples receiving this information can begin to re-channel behavior into effective strategies for loving and caring for each other. Clients dealing with inner struggles like depression and anxiety often express these issues outwardly and it can affect more than just yourself. The focus of treatment for depression and anxiety is to alleviate depressive symptoms and help the client develop healthy thinking patterns.

Are you finding that you and your partner are having the same argument over and over again? Would you want to increase trust, empathy and connectedness? Do you want more intimacy with your partner?
