"I offer an affirming and empowering therapeutic experience for those I serve. I bring over ten years experience in the field of behavioral health. I have focused my work in areas including depression and anxiety, childhood trauma, grief and loss, spiritual growth, life transitions, and healing troubled relationships. Although I have a psychodynamic focus, I utilize when appropriate, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and problem-solving treatment."

"I enjoy collaborating with my clients to create a therapy experience tailored to their individual needs. Whether your goal is to quickly resolve a troubling issue or to spend more time delving into a longer-term problem, I will work with you to help you feel more confident in handling life's problems. I believe that we are all doing the best we can in this life and sometimes we get stuck. Our therapy sessions will be a safe place to gain self-understanding, new skills to increase your relationship effectiveness to free yourself from your "stuck spots"."

"In life, unexpected things happen. Challenges and bumps in the road are all part of it. Sometimes with the the help of another we can make room for and navigate through planned or unexpected changes. With the help of a trained professional, life challenges can become easier to deal with. During the therapeutic process, I will work with the tools you already have in order to tackle life's problems. I will listen empathetically and help you uncover those strengths you thought you lost through your life challenges."

"Sex addiction, drug/alcohol addiction, eating disorders, codependency and trauma are my areas of expertise. My goal is to assist you to transcend suffering, to lay your secrets down and get rid of toxic shame. My focus for you is self-transformation, to like/love yourself and to be released from isolation. Empathy and confidentiality and a focus on the underlying neurocognitive function of addiction, trauma and recovery are the foundations of my practice. With 30 years in the field, I hold two master's degrees, one from the world-renowned Hazelden-Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies."

"Healing and caring for ourselves is hard work. Sometimes painful, often fulfilling, occasionally tedious, it is a necessary part of being open to the experiences that life has to offer us. Therapy is one way to find support in healing from trauma, managing our health, and discovering and practicing new ways of caring for ourselves. As Audre Lorde wrote, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." This work is important, both individually and collectively, and I am here to help you with it."

"There are constant demands made of us in life. Often, we find ourselves stressed, tired, anxious and overwhelmed. My goal is to provide a safe, caring and confidential space where you can build skills, develop options, resolve conflicts and feel more clear and competent in life. My approach is optimistic, present-focused and compassionate. Through therapy you can discover your personal strengths and live an intentional life full of meaning and self-fulfillment. I practice post-modern, holistic, systemic psychotherapy. My services include short and long-term psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families as well as psycho-educational training."

"In my integral practice I guide and coach individuals and couples through a process of developing new capacities to develop new ways of being desired for a specific personal goal. Through training and practice I've developed a coaching method inspired from integral theory, adult development theory, Jungian and Gestalt therapies, spirituality, and shamanism. My coaching process includes using multiple lenses to get a deep sense of the client's perspectives and worldview so that I can understand how he/she moves in the world, sees the world, what results he/she looks for and what actions he/she takes."

"Are you suffering with anxiety and depression every day? Do you experience current triggers associated with past childhood or recent trauma? Most importantly, are these symptoms interfering with your daily life - are they making it difficult to impossible for you to experience joy and happiness? If you're reading this, then you are driven to recovery, which is the first and most important step to healing these symptoms. Childhood trauma (neglect, verbal, mental, emotional, physical, sexual abuse) will have a lasting effect on our lives and we get stuck with negative beliefs and negative internalized stories about ourselves."

"I am not taking new clients at this time (August 2018). My approach to therapy draws upon 16 years of experience with clients of all ages and backgrounds in grief and loss, mood disorders, interpersonal conflict, family relationships, and anxiety disorders. With my clients, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness practices."

"Have you been struggling with anxious feelings or a depressed mood that don't seem to get better? Are painful memories or regrets weighing you down? Have you experienced a change or a loss that's difficult to handle? Have your ways of coping stopped working or are making things worse? We can work together to help you deal with distressing feelings, challenging events, and the weariness that comes from trying so hard to cope. We can remove the barriers to healing that have been in your way so that you can truly recover and experience a genuine, satisfying life."

"I offer therapy to relieve anxiety and depression and discover the underlying causes. If you've seen other therapists without results, it may be because you've only participated in talk or cognitive therapy. I've found that deeply ingrained beliefs and coping mechanisms that develop when we're young are often responsible for dysfunction or repeated negative emotions later in life. I offer therapy to hep you discover the reasons for triggers and patterns of behavior and how to change them. I welcome the opportunity to work with you. Come discover yourself and heal."

"My ideal client is motivated to make changes, is open to trying new things, in the face of fear of change. This person sees therapy as a collaborative experience."

"That voice in your head is back. "Why is this happening?" "How did things get so turned around?" "Won't this ever change?" In the heat of things, you hear "Why don't they understand me?" Later, you hear "What's wrong with me?" You're seeking connection, but keep finding frustration, sadness, and loneliness. Sitting in a place of sadness and uncertainty makes it hard to see a path back to connection, to being where you'd hoped to be all along."
