Please note: Wait list currently full. My counseling approach is informed by deep respect for individuals and their strengths. I can help you to effectively face challenges that arise during transitions and periods of high stress. We collaborate to help you move forward on your path to growth and change. Clients find relief from anxiety, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior, interpersonal stress, career concerns and "feeling stuck." Specialties include trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD, stress, couple/partner interaction and communication, family-of-origin issues (including substance abuse-related), and attachment styles.
Approaches include: Internal Family Systems (IFS-Informed therapist, IFSCA). EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDRIA certified therapist). Neurofeedback. Brainspotting. Attachment. Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Mindfulness Based Relationship Enhancement. Mind/body clinic experience with chronic illness, grief/loss.
I have worked with college students, faculty, and staff since 2004. Also trained in family/couples dynamics, recovery, and workplace challenges and conflict resolution (mediator, ombuds). (Reaching me: Emails are answered more quickly than calls.) Regardless of the situation, it is a privilege to collaborate with clients to enhance their quality of life.
Take the first step to help. Call or Email
