My ideal client is someone who is struggling and needs support quickly. His/her issues could range with intense moods to overwhelmed and stressed by life, work, or family. The goals would be to alleviate the symptoms and obtain relief quickly. The client would like to feel calmer and have more tools to help manage what he or she needs.

I have worked for a community mental health agency since 2008 and have a vast knowledge of strategies and techniques to use with you.

My ideal client is someone that is ready to make the changes needed to achieve their therapeutic goals. The answers they need already exist inside of them.

One of my favorite quotes from a movie is "if something gets in your way, turn." On the mountain top ready to ski down a "K12," and the best advice a friend gives is "turn." Changing your life's trajectory takes work, but when done effectively and efficiently you will see the path behind you in a different light and the path before you on new ground. As of April 2020, I am doing telehealth (video) appointments and will continue until notified that in-person, maskless, sessions are permitted. I have found that telehealth sessions are just as effective as in-person sessions.

For many, the past two years of a pandemic have been tough. You may be an overwhelmed parent just finally coming up for air and wanting to now work on all you have been through. Or you may be a teacher burnt out from online teaching and managing COVID risk in your classroom. I specialize in helping parents and teachers regulate their nervous systems to find the calm they desire.

Ever feel like there is more to this life than the one you've been living? As someone who has felt the gravity and darkness of untapped potential I know what's it's like to be living a life we don't love. The clues are within the depression and/or anxiety - these are our body's brilliantly sane ways of saying "pay attention!" Anyone can have a life that is full of passion, richness, purpose, and they feel joyfully proud to be living. It will take vulnerability, bravery, sacrifices, and perhaps some help to get this life that you love. I'd be deeply honored to be the gentle and firm guide you need to help you create this life.

Do you and your spouse or partner need to talk to someone? Often finding a person to talk to is the first step in making a positive change in your life. Emotions are complex and can overwhelm your ability to make sense of the many facets of what makes you unique and striving for connection. I work with individuals, couples and families who may be struggling with personal hardships or relationship connections in their lives. We all encounter difficulties that can become too challenging for us to manage on our own and I am motivated to help explore how and why these have affected you.

The ideal client for my practice is someone who is invested in helping themselves get better, but finds their self stuck and in need a new approach. Often times, I refer this as "wanting to want to get better." This is when we have lost momentum in motivation, but still hold on to the idea that if something comes along that would work, the individual would engage it. I believe in partnering with the client to develop a plan that works for THEM. We always begin with the end in mind; determining what success means for the client and measuring out when counseling will be complete.

"Unprecedented" "Pandemic" "New Normal" Masks and COVID were uncommon terms prior to the past year. None of us could have imagined the significant changes and loss ahead of us as 2020 launched.

While it appears the pandemic will be here with us for quite a while longer, we may feel like we've lost control of our own lives. We can; however, prevent long-term psychological damage.

Our approach utilizes the biopsychosocial approach to evaluation and treatment; this means we strive to understand the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence the health and wellness of our clients. Our services are often referred to as "behavioral medicine" or "medical psychology;" this is due to taking a holistic approach in our treatment considering the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and social. We often work collaboratively with other professions such as primary care physicians, occupational therapists, social workers, chaplains, and others who are important to one's individual network of care.

At the heart of my practice is the emphasis on building a warm, empathic relationship based on trust and acceptance, where you will feel the freedom to discuss whatever is important to you in each session. Your life and experiences are unique. If you are looking for a therapist who can help you dive deeper, or who will take the time to truly hear you and understand you before offering guidance, we will be a good fit. As a doctor in clinical and transpersonal psychology, I am well equipped to help you through either mental health or spiritual concerns.
