Offering specialty programs addressing sex addiction, substance abuse, sexual offending behavior, along with depression and anxiety.
Sometimes you don't really know what you have until you almost lose it. You might've told yourself that what your partner doesn't know won't hurt them. The truth is, everyone gets caught eventually and secrets can be painful. If you are struggling with the pain that you've caused yourself and someone else through infidelity, sexual addiction, or substance abuse it is not too late to get help. Most people don't recognize that they are struggling with addiction until they try to quit.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an excellent approach for individuals with trauma history, eating disorders and anxiety/ depression.
If you have not had much success so far with therapy and feel that the suggestions have not helped to shift things in your life, I may be a good fit for you. I can help you explore what is contributing to your feeling stuck and overwhelmed and move beyond it towards real healing. I work with children, teens, parents, adults and families. Being a parent myself, I can often bridge gaps between children and parents.

Do you keep repeating the same dysfunctional pattern, or fall into the same routine of anxiety and depression?
Imagine feeling lighter, more confident, more self-supportive and more self-loving. I've helped hundreds of clients achieve this, many starting from a place of despair and incredible anxiety. It is possible to enjoy and celebrate this life! Our work together would be about getting to the heart of the issues, putting some healing there and freeing you up to be more present and available - more of who you truly are. We would utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, Trauma Informed and Spiritual Psychology methods, as well as EMDR and Integrative Nutritional Counseling. I also love working with children and teens.

I can offer ART (accelerated resolution therapy, a more condensed form of EMDR) for PTSD reduction; psychodynamic approaches (inner child work) to heal past childhood wounds; CBT and DBT strategies for reducing anxiety and depression; and journaling and art therapies for life changes.
Very often the clients I work with are individuals seeking to heal childhood trauma. I also work with clients struggling with codependency issues in relationships with spouses, friends and family. I've been a caregiver to a spouse with cancer and a mother with Alzheimer's so I can support you in caregiving. I can also be an added support to clients who are already in recovery doing 12 step work. And I often work with clients experiencing life transitions.
