"Emotional pain can be the most stifling and difficult pain to endure, yet it can also be the catalyst for tremendous growth and insight. I specialize in helping clients of all ages who are struggling with trauma, complex trauma, depression, stress, self-esteem and interpersonal difficulties. My ideal client is one who is ready to be free from the impact of trauma, be it old or recent trauma, and is desiring growth and healing within themselves and their relationships. I also enjoy working with clients who are interested in looking at their issues through the lens of their spirituality."

"I bring 27 years of clinical experience based upon a foundation in Post Traumatic Stress, Addictions, Family Systems and Crisis Intervention which 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..."

"I hope to offer something substantive in a field that is overrun with quick fixes and surface change. Maybe you have been through counseling before and found that concrete coping strategies and tools didn't make a dent, or you have never engaged in therapy and are looking for an open space to explore and dig in deeply. If you're struggling with long-standing emotional or relational difficulties, it may be time to address the root causes of these things. I would be honored to help you change your life, your relationships, and yourself in deep and lasting ways."

"Our lives are filled with stress, anxiety, and overwhelming moments that tear us down from the inside. If your feelings are taking control, if you're feeling like you’re fighting a losing battle, if your world is becoming overwhelmingly painful or meaningless, counseling can provide an opportunity to address these issues through a genuine relationship. I work with children, adolescents, and adults to understand what the problem is, where it is coming from, and explore solutions that could work for you as an individual, couple, or family. I can also complete court ordered or recommended mental health evaluations. "

"I believe that the most important factor of success in therapy is the authentic relationship. I have a passion for learning about each client's talents and strengths and using those to increase their life satisfaction. I believe that all people have a desire to live the best lives they can live, and at times need support in identifying and eliminating the barriers that prevent them from doing so. I believe that trauma, whether from watching the daily news or experiencing combat in war, is at the root of many of these barriers."

"Do you Want Something Different in your Relationship, Family, Work, or Personal Life? Are you Tired and Stressed, Depressed or Anxious? For individuals, couples and families struggling with life - change is possible. I view therapy as a healing relationship, with conversation and support that provides clients with a safe, non-judgmental place to express and explore their feelings. Counseling helps you discover strengths and solutions that are consistent with your unique beliefs and values. We will work together to help move you away from self-blame and examine negative thinking/patterns so that you may achieve your goals, improve relationships and regain peace of mind."

"I begin by creating a caring environment utilizing my 25 years of experience allowing you to relax, step back and assess what you need from therapy.Once our relationship is established I begin helping you to create solutions to your challanges that we work on in every session My goal is to ensure that you have the inner resources and courage to address new challenges on a daily basis and find within yourself the power to overcome your internal struggles.I help people to step back from the tree and see the whole forest."

We can work together on any issues they have so that they can live their best life! "

"Healing from past and present traumas and difficult relationships involves changing the present meaning of past experiences. Within the therapeutic relationship my clients experience empathy and create new meaning as they heal and find new ways. My experience includes work with people who are in life transitions, who are in a health crisis, who have lost themselves, or who have experienced trauma. I work from a developmental perspective with people of all ages and stages of life - from pre-school, to young adulthood, to mid-life, to aging."

"Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, down, and unhappy is no longer working or satisfying, it's exhausting! You've tried to solve this on your own (reading self-help books, listening to lectures or podcasts, and/or exercising). Yet, you're still feeling like things haven't improved as much as you'd hoped. Let's transform your current anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed feelings and suffering into the energy required to live the life you deserve. I help curb anxious thinking, overcome depressive feelings, and put an end to living an unfulfilled life. I utilize mindfulness, ACT, CBT, and EMDR therapies."

"We all share in the challenges of life and struggle for connections with ourselves and the ones we love. On this journey to fulfillment, we often lose sight of our compassion for ourselves and the life we have built around us. Through meaningful partnerships we can improve our ability to recognize our strengths and shortcomings, build awareness and resources in order to grow, and love ourselves again. It can be hard to envision a life without shame, low sense of self and to feel good enough for all that you want out of life. When you are depressed, in pain, and anxious it may feel near impossible to attain all that you want."

"I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a therapeutic technique that will help you address unhelpful or uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This treatment works well for issues of anxiety, worry, stress, panic attacks, depression, and more. By identifying trends and triggers, we’ll work together to reduce symptoms and increase overall wellbeing. As we move forward, we’ll closely monitor and chart your progress, so we stay focused and on-track towards your goals. "

"Relationships can be hard work, but so worth the effort. I'm here to help you reconnect and repair with the love of your life. As a couples therapy specialist, I see couples go from discouraged to hopeful all the time. Does this sound like you? "I feel so disconnected, when the goal was to be close. We end up arguing when we meant to have fun and feel loved. We aren't having sex much anymore, when that used to be one of the favorite parts of our relationship. I try to make them happy, only to feel like I'm failing." Even though it might feel scary or daunting, don’t wait to get help while the hurts pile up and the distance grows."

"How and when did you disappear? When did you start believing that you don't matter? You can't go on like this but you don't think things can be different. They can! You can! You can find new energy for the life you want to live. I'll work with you to find your voice and use it to become your own best advocate. I am excited about working with clients facing adjustment challenges, marital and family conflicts, mood disorders, grief and loss, life transitions and codependency. I am particularly energized working with females aged 22 to 50."
