I work with individuals who are struggling with intense and difficult emotions (anger, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem). Individuals may need guidance to heal the effects of trauma, or may struggle with a life transition such as divorce or a loss. Through deep exploration, individuals gain insight into their internal world, learn to accept and love all of themselves and create a sense of balance and peace within. I work with individuals to heal their deepest wounds and feel encouraged, clear, and empowered. It is my goal to help each individual bring our work from session to the world.

Let's face it. Life is not always a beach. Parenting is the hardest job in the world. Relationships, no matter how good, take lots of work. My practice is designed to help people, whether they be children, adolescents or adults, better address the challenges facing them. Within the context of a therapeutic alliance, the healing takes place. The success of psychotherapy is always related to the match between client and therapist. If that match is a good one, the client will find him or herself in a caring and safe environment and able to explore how to more positively impact their world.

We live in a culture that emphasizes feeling good and being happy. But the reality is, we all face challenges or challenging times, and sometimes friends and family don't have the resources to provide all the help we need. I have over 15 years of experience training and working in the behavioral health field. I work collaboratively and respectfully to support you with proven methods to compassionately and gently foster change and recovery. I will work with your other providers, mindful of your unique strengths while helping you to live your life in accord with your deepest values.

Hi! Are you experiencing emotional, cognitive and/or physical symptoms that negatively affect the quality of your life and/or relationships in general? Taking a HOLISTIC approach to well-being is proven to be effective. A holistic approach is based on current evidence-based research, which supports the mind-body connection. A HOLISTIC approach also honors your religious/spiritual values. Expect to be "seen" and respected as you heal! Oftentimes, a non-biased, non-judgmental perspective and caring guidance can help.

I approach therapy as education - helping clients to better identify patterns associated with difficulties, develop skills to overcome these difficulties, and learn how to utilize these skills in their daily lives in order to live as optimally as possible. We focus both on addressing the issues that have been plaguing you as well as learning to live more fully and comfortably in each moment and activity you are engaged in. Learning powerful skills helps overcome specific problems, boost resilience against future problems, and more fully enjoy daily life. Therapy is individually tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

Aloha, I understand your fears,appreciate your courage, and have compassion for your emotional suffering. It is intimidating to trust a guide as you face your fears and commit to meaningful and lasting change. Much of our unhealthy behavior is compulsive; driven by unconscious fears, worrying, resentment, and defensiveness. We compulsively eat, drink, shop, or control others in an attempt to soothe or avoid unresolved feelings. Years of conditioning through criticism and negativity fostered the anxiety and depression. You may feel alone and misunderstood. I have decades of life experience, education, and rigorous training to instill that trust you can depend on.

Parenting is the most demanding job many of us will ever experience. You want the best for your child, so it can be painful to witness your child struggling with their emotions and anxiety. Therapy can help to enhance your child's emotional IQ and equip them with tools to deal with life's ups and downs. All relationships have ups and downs. So it is easy to get stuck in a frustrating cycle when your child doesn't listen, leaving you both feeling upset and disconnected. There is an alternative. You can enhance the relationship with your child, improve compliance and foster positive behaviors.

While vulnerable, healthy people seek therapy because not avoiding and recognizing you need support, is a sign of strength. I provide therapy to people coping with life changes, relationship stressors, loss, trauma, depression/anxiety, infertility, health issues, parenting, or job challenges (including the military). It's important to find a therapist with skill and training, however positive outcomes in therapy largely depend on the relationship you build.

Stress is a natural reaction to challenges with work, school, relationships and loss. When sadness, worry, concentration problems, or other disruptions result, talking to a trained professional often helps. Foremost in my philosophy is that people are fundamentally good and have the natural ability to grow toward their fullest potential. An objective, trained professional can often provide a catalyst for successful adaptation to life's challenges. It is a privilege, honor, and responsibility to work with others toward their personal goals of enhancing health, productivity, and the enjoyment of life!

Whether you are dealing with chronic pain or other difficulties - I'm aware that you're hurting right now. Some of you may feel uncomfortable in more ways than one. You definitely want things to change and you probably want to feel more comfortable with yourself or with others than you're feeling right now. Perhaps you're struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, harmful habits, family or work problems, or couples conflicts. Combining my 20-years of experience with your personal strengths, we can work together to find the positive change and comfort you seek.

I am a friendly, real, and comfortable person to talk with. Therapy can feel daunting and embarrassing, especially at first, so it's important that you feel comfortable when you are talking about what's bothering you. You are coming to therapy to work on issues and resolve problems and you want support and answers. When you come in we will talk about what you feel ready to deal with. I will gently guide you through the process of uncovering your needs and wants in a way that doesn't feel threatening or invasive and help you get those in your life.

Oftentimes, people are uncomfortable taking the first step to speak to a stranger about personal issues. However, once coming in for therapy, many people find it comforting to have a safe place to speak freely...with a therapist who is there to listen to them and guide them through life's difficulties. I practice with a non-judgmental approach to help my clients to reach their therapeutic goals. It is important that my clients feel comfortable with me in order for them to openly discuss the deeper issues affecting their lives.

The tools of Brainspotting, stress management, dream interpretation, ritual, and guided meditations are also offered to access your intuition, inner strengths and desires.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are in situations in life that are too difficult to deal with alone. Others find themselves repeating patterns that do not serve them well, and want to live a more full, satisfying life. Talking with someone with whom you can connect can help, and is often the beginning of rich personal growth. I create a space for you where you are comfortable enough to explore; where you can feel safe, grounded, and begin to trust in taking chances and moving in new directions. Please note: I am only taking new clients who wish to pursue Radix somatic work (www.radix.org)

Life, with all it's joys, is also filled with challenges. Whether with our marriage, our children, and/or other personal issues, we all sometimes feel a loss at how to cope with these struggles. I offer a safe environment, where together, we can work through these issues and find the grace to heal and change. I believe healthy change and healing first starts with the individual and I can help you to begin this process today!

I work with people who are struggling with difficult emotions. When our emotions take over, we are left feeling hopeless, self critical, alone, angry and confused. I am here to help. I guide individuals through anything from deep traumas to everyday stressors. I support people who are struggling to build and maintain meaningful and long lasting relationships. Individuals build a tool belt that empowers them to feel confident and resilient. Through DBT, CBT, and mindfulness, my clients start to connect back to their own wisdom, feel strong, and form deeper and more meaningful connections.

I offer my clients skills that empower them to make powerful shifts in their struggles with anxiety, trauma/PTSD, depression, shame, fear, self-criticism, low self-esteem, and lack of fulfillment. I specialize in guiding individuals to heal from the impacts of trauma that may have them feeling broken, not enough, empty, or hopeless. I also specialize in guiding people to discover their unique purpose in life and to transform all that is blocking them from feeling confident, clear, and excited about who they are and their work in the world.
