How do we find inner peace when our outer presentation is wrong? Where is self-acceptance when the world around you is unaccepting? Your internal struggles are real, and you are not alone. Wholeness begins with healing. They say time heals all wounds, but some wounds are so deep it feels as though they may never heal. Asking for help takes strength. If you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma from sexual assault or abuse, and/or sex and relationship issues, let’s chat. Please reach out via email if possible

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addictions Counselor, and Registered Nurse. My approach to health and well-being is rooted in the belief that we have within us the capacity to live satisfying, engaged, empowered, joyful, and meaningful lives. I help my clients get to the root of what is holding them back, and transform limiting patterns so they can live a happy, healthy life. My style is compassionate, direct, supportive, and creative.

My passion is meeting and working with you. I want to walk with you, understand your life and be a support when your life feels like a struggle. I consider myself a holistic practitioner and have been trained in various therapies as well as experienced many aspects of life. My path has included working with military sexual trauma, combat trauma, chronic pain, addictions, family conflict, depression, bi-polar, personality disorders, just to name a few.

Deciding to go to therapy can be difficult. If you are considering this, part of you is curious and hopeful, while you may also feel stuck and hopeless. Walking with you between hope and fear is one of my callings. You can find the resiliency and the courage to become the person you always wanted to be.

Starting an inner journey on a path to self-healing and understanding can seem like a daunting task. It can be confusing, often goes against logic, and opens us up to the very things that caused us to retreat from a full life in the first place. I understand the trepidation that comes from starting on such a journey and the various obstacles that arise during this exploration. This journey does not have to be taken alone.

We specialize in helping individuals and families with long-term healing and recovery from addiction, behavioral compulsions, mental health challenges, and other acute, chronic and relapsing illnesses. We practice Invitational Intervention®, ARISE® Continuing Care with Intervention, which is Evidence-Based and proven to be effective. We match the Certified ARISE® Interventionists to the specific needs of the client and the family and are well connected to the best treatment centers across the country. We offer consultation, case management, safe transportation across transitions (geographic, family relationships and emotional), coaching, companionship (sober and mental health companions), placement and treatment advice and intervention.

Transitions are, by their very nature, difficult. Adjusting to any life change requires continued growth, self-development and a balance between one's inner strength and external resources. I assist adults (as well as senior citizens) to create a meaningful existence in the social and environmental contexts of their lives. I use cognitive behavioral methods to help my clients successfully cope with a broad spectrum of stressors and personal life challenges related to major life events--career change, retirement, divorce or the death of a loved one.

The desire to be connected to others is innate, and yet we sometimes find ourselves alone, hopeless, sad, scared, and angry. I believe that being connected to ourselves and others is part of the human experience, and recovery from symptoms that interrupt our ability to live our lives to the fullest is possible. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I believe change and insight are possible, and freedom from pain and suffering is attainable.

You are in the right place; I am so glad you are here. My life’s calling is working with clients ready to explore their relationship with substances as well as those experiencing high conflict divorce. If your relationship with substances or your (ex)partner/coparent is getting in the way of who you want to be & what you want for your life, I will walk with you to manage & resolve the isolation, stress, & anxiety that comes with your situation. Because I have been on this exact journey, I understand the importance of having someone support you & help you find solutions in a mindful, centered, & strategic manner.

I offer the following: Mind-Body-Spirit integrative strategies for performance enhancement. I guide couples to create thriving, joyful relationships through understanding differences, and to develop improved connection. We resolve trauma to enhance relationship skill to self and others. I help clients and families to effectively manage mood disorders to engage in life goals again. When requested, I teach coping skills for anxiety and anger management. I help caregivers find resources to adjust and grow. I help to motivate health and fitness goals while clients practice transforming their self-esteem, from the inside out.

Making the decision to pursue therapy is a huge step. It’s easy to push things down or avoid them, but making the choice to reach out shows strength. Maybe you’ve never had a safe space to share your true thoughts and feelings, or felt truly heard and understood. Let’s build that together here. My interests include assisting individuals in developing self-esteem and self-concept, as well as healthy and effective relationships with family, friends or partners. I also have experience working with those with anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. I do not work with families or couples.

Everywhere you look, you get nothing but misunderstanding. You have drifted farther away from your best life and the way things used to be or the way you feel they should be. Parts of yourself are always on guard and prevent you from connections that make life worthwhile. The joy you once felt is a distant memory. Things have happened to you that were not your fault and it just doesn't seem fair. Negative behaviors that you can't control are leading to issues at work, in your main relationships, and other friendships. Your self esteem keeps going downhill, the destructive behaviors continue to rise, and the best part of you is lost.

I am committed to helping those who seek greater understanding, connection, and stability in relationships with self and others. Specialty areas include depression, anxiety, BPD spectrum, trauma, substance use, and interpersonal conflict. The focus of my practice is integrative individual psychotherapy and I primarily draw from psychodynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive/behavioral approaches (including ACT, DBT, CBT). My background in mindfulness also informs therapy. Above all, I think my job is to listen really well, while bringing curiosity, challenge, and kindness toward your unique human experience.
