I believe that everyone can benefit from personal growth. I can connect with anyone of any race, socioeconomic status, religion or sexual orientation. I work with healthy individuals with life challenges as well as those suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship problems and parenting issues. I am adept at working with PTSD and Sexual Abuse Survivors. I love working with High School students, College age and beyond. I can assist you with your career and life direction. I am easy to connect with as I am not only approachable, and you will find me casual and laid back in a comfortable, non-intimidating environment.
I specialize in helping with all life concerns. Anything that comes up for you, I can help you tackle it! I offer help with trauma with my EMDR and CPT specialization. I work with veterans and others with PTSD, sexual trauma or any trauma. I can run groups customized to any needs your organization may have.
I have a casual, comfortable style with a home like office that will set you at ease. I offer a unique balance of life experience as well as a fresh, up to date approach. Your fears and discomfort will dissipate immediately upon sitting down with me. Easy to access from anywhere. I also offer a wonderful intern who is able to see clients in evenings/wkends.

I use a fusion of CBT and other methods. For Trauma I use EMDR and CPT which I find work very effectively if the client is motivated and willing to be patient for results. Of course the amount of time healing takes is dependent on the level of motivation of the client and the efficacy of the duo of client/therapist. There are many options for diversity in my experience and training.
