Do you need more of a sense of connection with others in your life? Are you looking for more balance and more skill in asserting your needs? Are you struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, or insecurity? Therapy can help! I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping them strengthen bonds with those most important to them. At the start of therapy, I believe it is critical to experience a good fit with your therapist in an environment that is safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative. This important connection starts the process of building deeper bonds with others.

I am accepting new patients! Animal Assisted Therapy is a goal-directed intervention in which an animal is an integral part of the treatment process. AAT is directed, delivered and documented by a licensed health/human service professional with a specific clinical goal for a particular individual in mind.

Animal Assisted Interventions operates from a cognitive behavioral approach utilizing canines to effectively assist in a clients journey through the stages of change.

My training for my doctorate was in child and family clinical practice and I obtained post-doctoral training in forensic psychology. I also received over 300 hour of training at the Neurosculpting Institute. In addition to my clinical and forensic practice, I have provided consultation services in such settings as Head Start, Federal Corrections, and Child Protection Services and for agencies serving the developmentally disabled. A large part of my practice has always included providing psychotherapy for children, adolescents, couples, and families. I have been married for over 30 years and have seven children.

Our clinical focus is a "hybrid" approach combining Dialectical and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Relational/Experiential therapy, primarily for the adolescent and emerging adult, but also working with adults, families and couples. Our clients struggle with regulating emotions, distress tolerance, core emptiness (confusion about oneself), as well as interpersonal conflict with frequent emotional chaos. Our time-limited, solution-focused technique is often sought to augment a person's existing individual therapy. Our approach is also effective in treating depression, self-injury, anxiety - focusing on coping skills. We are comprised of 4 licensed clinicians offering both individual, couple and group therapy.

I believe that change occurs through a combination of will, opportunity, and support. Therapy is one opportunity and avenue of support that can aid you in the change you seek or are already undergoing. I see my role as a collaborator on your journey toward change. Your collaborator is always your choice and not every collaborator will be the right fit. I will always take the time you need to make that decision.

I help people work to improve their communication, understand how to engage in conflict effectively, build connection, and incorporate fun and play into their lives and relationships. I help couples and individuals regain and maintain balance in their lives so they can be the best version of themselves.

Is your child currently having a hard time with peer relationships and emotional regulation? Are you tired of living in the past while craving freedom in the present moment of past traumas? I support and empower people to make the changes they want to see by encouraging insight and awareness of where these challenges came from and how they can take control and change their own life.

Are you tired of being stuck in past trauma? Tried talk therapy and it hasn't helped with the anxiety? I practice a type of neurofeedback that directly influences the Autonomic Nervous System, allowing your brain to "rewire". My work helps to facilitate emotional regulation and a sense of balance and relaxation in a comfortable, supportive setting. It is important to me that each client feel heard and understood, and that the work we do brings about improvements in one's overall level of functioning.

As humans, I believe we have the innate ability to sense when we are stagnant and yearn for more in life, whether in relation to the self or others. Does your life feel dull or uninspiring?

Do you want to explore ways to get "unstuck"? You are not alone in these feelings. I am here to validate your concerns and help you reconnect to your desires.
