There they are again. The feelings of fear, worry, stress, powerlessness and shame. These feelings keep you stuck and make you feel miserable. I’d like to offer my services to you. Relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, and attachment issues are all reasons why men and women seek my services. Additionally, in the last decade, I have focused on treating teenagers and children in the foster care system using expressive therapies. However, my specialty is in “I’m at the end of my rope;” “The same sh** keeps happening to me;” “Part of me just doesn’t feel right.”

I specialize in providing State funded treatment for problem & compulsive gambling, in a safe & confidential setting. I also treat drug/alcohol addiction.

My journey has bestowed me with a profound understanding of addiction & — I can help you get your life back!

I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. For 40+ years, I've helped clients to understand how their thoughts create their reality, release unwanted emotions, connect with their Higher Power, feel more joy, & have better relationships.

Using active listening, empathy, & a toolbox of proven techniques, I help individuals & couples move beyond chaos, to thrive.

I am passionate about the opportunity to work with clients to overcome emotional and life challenges and empower them to develop the skills necessary to improve emotional and physical health and live a meaningful, content, and fulfilled life. Addressing the root of most emotional conditions lies most often in resolving traumatic experiences and managing life stressors more effectively. The core issues are addressed by first identifying and acknowledging them, gaining a better understanding of their impact, and then reprogramming the mind and learning coping skills to better navigate life’s challenges.

I understand how difficult the decision to begin counseling can be. I want to ease your mind.

Trauma - it's a word that is weighty and often comes with lots of feelings. None of us wants to admit we are the victim of "trauma". However, it's fair to say that most of us have experienced "less than nurturing" as Pia Melody defines trauma. Sometimes those traumatic experiences leave us with lingering emotions that we may have trouble processing. We sometimes need help finding the path toward healing and processing our emotions about those painful things.

Are you in a toxic relationship? Do you often feel confused, depleted, desperate to find solutions to make things better and get back to the good that existed in the beginning - but nothing you do seems to make a difference? Are your partner's words and actions often misaligned? Is infidelity present or suspected? If so, you may be in a relationship with a narcissist. The sooner you can identify this and get educated on what this entails, the sooner you can regain your strength and sanity. Enduring Narcissistic Abuse can lead to the debilitating and little known condition called Narcissistic Victim Syndrome (NVS).

Therapy is an intimate process; revealing feelings might feel scary and uncomfortable. My greatest reward as a counselor is helping my clients explore ways to make changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope.

I’m certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors NBCC.

I work with clients to create an integrative approach to overcoming trauma, difficult life transitions and a variety of mental health concerns, addressing issues holistically from angles of mind, body and spirit. I help clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, post-traumatic concerns, and addictive patterns to learn skills of radical acceptance, self-compassion and mindful self-awareness. My clients gain insight into their unconscious processes and make lasting changes not only in their mood, but in their relationships to self and others, and in their lifestyle as a whole.

I truly believe that therapy can be a transformative and rewarding process when facing the challenges of life. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to encourage honest communication and trust between partners and family members. Curiosity, humor and understanding are often a part my work in therapy to help clients identify goals, create a plan, and work to make positive changes. As part of the therapy process, I utilize the most effective therapy approaches and techniques when addressing communication issues, infidelity, pre-marital preparation, intimacy, and family conflict.

The self-help world is more confusing than it has ever been. One guru tells you that the key to tranquility is quieting your nervous system...then right there in the sidebar it says that what you really need to do is get moving and activated. Meanwhile you are left even more confused. You want to move your life upwards and not waste time and emotion on dead ends. The good news is that great minds have paved the way for better modes of being. There are habits and tools that allow us to better regulate our emotional states so that we can live life to the fullest.

“The beauty of life is; while we cannot undo what is done; we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change" (J. Edwards). Life presents us with circumstances challenging our relationships and ourselves. Therapy can be a catalyst toward discovery of creative and viable solutions, or in the personal work toward acceptance. Through conflicts, opportunities are created. I work with individuals and couples to discover opportunity and weave growth and maturity into decision-making.

I provide a supportive, compassionate, collaborative and non-judgmental environment. Your comfort and trust are the most important aspects to your success.
