Stress can be caused by many things: change, relationships, work, health, or trauma, to name a few. However it develops, it can take its toll on you physically and emotionally when not managed. I will help you cope with the emotional, physical, and social challenges of handling everyday stress, healing from a traumatic event, living with a medical condition (e.g., chronic pain/headaches, illness), or adjusting to a loved one's illness. I know people are resilient, and I will work with you to keep stress a manageable part of your life, instead of your entire identity.

Hello! I have an eclectic array of modalities, including cognitive-behavioral, systems, narrative, and psychodynamic, but my primary goal is to work with you to meet your wants and needs. I have experience with individuals, couples, adolescents, families, and older adults.

Are you unhappy in your relationship but don't know what to do? Relationships are the most important part of our lives. Yet, they are not always easy, especially with the people closest to us. Problems arise in every couple's relationship, especially under stressful circumstances such as fertility issues, problems with children, aging parents, blending families, lack of sexual intimacy or coping with a job loss. Stressors like these can contribute to conflict, distance, and other painful relationship interactions. I understand what you are going through and know how to help you find real solutions to your relationship problems.

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."

I am a Certified EMDR trauma therapist and am passionate about helping people let go of the pain of the past, live more fully in the present and develop hope for the future. When you've grown up in a chaotic, dysfunctional or neglectful household it can be really hard to move beyond your past without help. This is especially true if you struggle with any kind of dissociation. Its' not that your weak or unwilling, it's that you don't yet have the tools and the help to do so. As an intersectional feminist, I recognize and will respect all aspects of your identity and work to minimize any effects of my privilege on the therapy.

Does your child or teen seem sad or irritable? Do you feel like he has difficulty following through when given instructions? Does she whine or frequently ask you to do things that she can do herself? Is your child or teen having trouble in school or with a life adjustment? Parents and children alike can feel stuck and overwhelmed with their struggles. I am passionate about helping families heal, find solutions, and live well together. My focus is providing developmentally appropriate services to children (any age!), teens, and their families.

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." No matter what life has brought us, we can turn the pain into power. We can make the choice to use our pain as a catalyst for healing. If you’re feeling anxious, sad, or stuck in a pattern of self-defeating behavior, you're not alone. Early trauma can imprint negative core beliefs that become the lens through which we view the world. It shapes our identity and our self-concept. My expertise is helping people clear the residue of childhood trauma. If you're ready to feel better and want to create meaningful changes in your life, please reach out.

Therapy is a wonderful collaborative relationship that can help you to identify and clarify internal conflicts and struggles, help access and find solutions to current challenging situations and lead you to a more positive state of mind and sense of well being. My passion is to work with individuals and couples through life transitions, relationship issues and to help you create your best life that is aligned with your truest self. I also work with past and current life traumas and losses and am a certified EMDR therapist.

Asking for help is often tough, especially for us as men. Who do you turn to in times of crisis or confusion? We are socialized to be independent and "do it myself." However, there are times where we all need some help. Someone to talk to that won't judge us or ridicule us. One of the most difficult things to do is to make that first phone call to someone you don't know, asking for help. You just hope to get someone trustworthy, compassionate and competent. These are my strongest traits, and I welcome your call today.
