The time to make yourself a priority is now and I would like the opportunity to help you get started. It is my goal to help you find skills to deal with all that life is throwing your way. I work from a goal-oriented framework and use various techniques to help you develop new skills. We will work together to create small individualized goals tailored to help improve your day to day life.

What if I can't handle Polyamory or Non-Monogamy? Am I Queer enough? Where do I even begin to explore my Kinks or Power-exchange dynamics? Am I really Addicted?... I offer a safe and supportive space for my clients to address these questions, as well as explore other concerns regarding their identity, relationships, needs, and behaviors. As a trauma-informed Narrative therapist, I consider myself an active and collaborative clinician. My approach is creative and engaging, and will often incorporate metaphor, storytelling, experiential exercises, skill-building, and an emphasis on Harm Reduction.

Seeking a therapist can be difficult and often anxiety provoking--especially when you are finding a therapist for your child. I have been working with children and their families for many years and have enjoyed helping them meet their therapeutic goals. I work with a certified therapy dog named Gadget who adds to the welcoming and nurturing environment of the office and assists in helping clients reach their goals. I am specially trained in play therapy, EMDR, and family therapy. I work with children 0-12 and their families. I specialize in trauma and attachment to promote healthy, fulfilling relationships.

In my practice I focus on providing caring, supportive and professional therapy to individuals, couples, and families, of all age groups. I have 30 years experience working with anxiety, depression, abuse, addiction, grief, older adult issues, behavioral issues, family issues, parenting, and couples issues. I am a registered EMDR therapist specializing in trauma and PTSD. I am also trained in working with veterans and their families.

You are unique in the challenges you face and in your gifts. Whether you suffer from anxiety, depression, an unrelenting sense of despair, low self-esteem, are hyper-critical of yourself, feel disconnected from life or joyless, are frustrated with work or school, have problems in your relationships, or suffer with PTSD, your experience is particular to you. I will help you discover the underlying dynamics of your symptoms and patterns in ways that allow you to transform them. Rather than merely "fixing" a problem or “fixing” yourself, you will learn how to listen to and tend what troubles you.

**I am currently not accepting new clients** I work with people who desire to lead fulfilling lives but struggle to make it happen. If it's difficult for you to open up to others, or you find yourself haunted by past events, I will help you learn how to heal from what is weighing you down. I strive to create a safe space for you to be known, seen, and unconditionally accepted. We can strengthen your ability to tolerate painful emotions and uncomfortable previous experiences. You will grow in self-confidence and resilience.

Having worked for many years in hospice and palliative care, I am constantly amazed at the strength and resilience that people have - especially when facing difficult life situations. I have a strong desire to continue working with people who are facing grief and loss issues, serious illness, anxiety, stress and trauma. My goal is to partner with you during your life's challenges and to help you to find your strength and resilience to cope, heal and live fully.

I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, substance use, interpersonal trauma, relationship struggles, and identity development, as well as anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. I believe strong therapeutic relationships are built on trust, compassion, genuineness, and laughter. I work primarily from an interpersonal process lens and acknowledge the importance of culture, identity, and power as it influences our relationships and who we are. As your therapist, my goal is to help you find new ways to relate to the world and to enable you to embrace your experiences more fully and bravely.

You may be asking yourself "Who am I anymore"? Or even, "How did I get here?" Life has taken you far away from where you imagined you would be. You know you want something different, but you're not sure how to get it. The one thing you do know is the path that brought you here - taking care of everyone else, not voicing your needs and not holding boundaries - left you wounded, empty and utterly off-course. You know you need to change and you know the time for change is now. There is a saying: if nothing changes - nothing changes. This work takes courage - courage I know you have.

Marriage Counseling? I specialize in helping relationships re-develop trust, intimacy, and greater communication. Whether you are an individual, a couple (married or not), near divorce, or simply desire greater levels of intimacy in your relationships give me a call. I am passionate about providing the opportunity for you to develop the relationships you were supposed to have....... Lets start a Voyage of healing together.

Are you experiencing problems in your relationships? Healthy relationships are not something that we just “have.” Relationships require work, effort, and time. Some times the way we interact with others may need slight shifts, and at other times we may need to create new ways of interacting all together. No two relationships are alike, and our relationships can bring out different qualities in us. Some of these qualities may be good and some of these qualities may be harmful and cause us to experience distress.

I believe counseling is a partnership between client and therapist. In working with youth, adults, families, and/or groups, I use a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to offer a safe place for you to promote understanding, healing, empowerment, and personal growth.

I love helping clients create a personalized tool belt to successfully navigate depression, anxiety, emotional distress, relationship challenges, substance abuse, eating disorders, and trauma. This helps clients to navigate well beyond the therapy session, allowing more well-balanced life. I believe that each person is wonderfully unique and enjoy helping each client discover how to work within their own belief systems and values.

Therapy is about renewed hope- kind of like seeing light emanate from a dark tunnel or getting an ah-ha moment that helps you activate change in a 'safe' place. It is seldom easy but is always an opportunity to move forward. Over the last 30 years, I've watched families, children and individuals decide to heal. What a pleasure! Collaboratively, we too can explore with grace and honesty the issues that hold you back. Here the goal is growth, whether in your relationships, families, spirituality, communication skills, or your work place. I am here to journey with you!

“Mom/Dad, I don’t want to go to school today. I feel like no one likes me. I feel like you don’t understand me. I hate myself. I am not good enough. I can’t do anything right.” These are some of the heartbreaking statements children are saying to their parents throughout this past year of tremendous change and chaos. If any of these conversations have become common with your children, I would love to connect and help your child feel more happiness, peace, and pride in who they are and the things they do.

Do you feel frustrated or alone in your relationship? Are you and your partner speaking different languages or having the same argument on repeat? Couples therapy can help! You may be feeling like you've tried everything to improve your relationship but nothing seems to change. If so, you are not alone. I will help you move though pain from the past to shift negative patterns into healthy ones. I will help you learn to communicate effectively and from a place of love, and I will fight for your relationship until you've achieved the positive changes you desire.

I specialize in the treatment of adolescents, young children, the LGBTQIA+ community, and family therapy. I am trained in EMDR for trauma based treatment and the treatment of numerous other challenges such as addictions and behavioral issues.
