Choosing a therapist is an important decision. My goal as your therapist is to help you find healthy ways to engage in life and use your strengths to help understand, uncover, and dismantle what is creating anxiety, depression and other emotional concerns you may find yourself living with. Therapy can help to create an environment to move through the process of self-discovery and self-awareness in a safe way. The treatments I work with have proven to be effective, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness therapy, and EMDR. I believe therapy is foremost, about building a trusting relationship with a qualified person.

If you are looking for help, you are not alone. Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness, but a desire to get more out of life. Together, we can set you on a path to achieving the life you envision for yourself. I have over 15 years of experience guiding people through difficult times and helping them gain insight and develop coping skills so that they can move through their lives with confidence.

Everyone wants to MAKE THE MOST OF THE LIFE YOU HAVE... but often present-day distress interferes with our ability to experience a more fulfilling life.

Medication not working? Feeling stressed, afraid, and out of balance can rob you of your vitality and can prevent you from reaching your full potential in life. Many situations in our lives can lead us to feel this way whether it be the result of a traumatic event, a significant loss in life, and/or our habits, behaviors, attitudes, and emotions. Experiencing these stressors can be overwhelming at times, especially if trying to manage them alone. If you find yourself at this particular place in your life, I would welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you while we work together to find healing.

On the road of life, we may find that our hopes, dreams and aspirations for living have been derailed, slowed, or halted by the effects of challenging circumstances such as traumatic events, troubled or broken relationships, illness, the loss of a loved one, or many others. These challenges are the bumps on our road, but the depression, sadness, fear, self-doubt, and/or shame that they often invite can feel like roadblocks. In times like these, we need a supportive ally to help co-create a new map for living that opens space for new possibilities and brings forth our values, strengths, wisdom and knowings.

If you're suffering from depression, traumatic memories, anxiety, or OCD, Image Transformation Therapy (ImTT) can restore your effectiveness in the world and the balance in your life. I developed ImTT while working at Camp Pendleton Marine Base because I needed a treatment that could release the most intense pain, terror, and memories without the person having to experience the feelings or relive the memories. The result is that ImTT treatment enables a person to live without self-consciousness and fear -- spending more of their life in the "creative zone."

My passion is to help people repair their relationships with food and with their bodies so that they can replace the criticism and self-loathing with compassion.

I specialize in the treatment of trauma. My approach moves beyond being an empathetic listener to using state-of-the-art, evidenced-based strategies for creating relief and change. I have found EMDR Therapy to be a powerful, neurologically-based approach to address memories that have become "stuck". These frozen memories can be either severe traumas (abuse, rape, or life-threatening injury) or small but significant adverse life events. EMDR can effectively resolve memories that have made the past feel very much present and have forced current life experiences to be filtered through a negative, distorted lense.
