I offer free email consultations before meeting with you face-to-face, because I want to ensure you are comfortable from the beginning. Although we may not have control of every experience, I believe that we inherently want a sense of belonging. It is my goal to inspire individuals by helping him/her process past and current events that may be hindering their ability to move forward. I encourage you to send an email or give my a call at any time. I promise to give you the attention and trust you deserve, because you are worth it.

If you struggle with chronic issues and have tried other therapists and are still struggling, I may be the therapist for you. Many chronic conditions are coming from significant early trauma that is difficult to access because the memory is not stored verbally in the brain. I am a specialist in accessing early trauma and clearing it through the use of brain-based therapies such as EMDR and Brainspotting. I am certified in Brainspotting and Systemic Family Constellations and trained in EMDR I/II. I combine these three methods plus my natural empathic abilities to access blockages and clear them. You will feel immediately better!

You’re finding it more and more difficult to hold it all together. After pushing down your emotions and feelings for so long, there is all of a sudden very little space to hold anything else. You’re forgetting things, it’s hard to concentrate, you’re irritable, your body aches. There are times when you feel you could jump out of your skin from the racing thoughts, and there are times where you want to crawl under a rock to escape the overwhelm. What has always worked in the past is not even touching these feelings.

Things look pretty good from the other side of the street. Most see you as “having it altogether.” After all, you’re the driven, reliable one everyone turns to. But underneath, you feel disconnected, numb and alone. Sure, you can pull it together when you need to, and the drugs and alcohol help, but you know this cycle can’t last. To top it all off, you feel guilty you can’t be everything, to everyone, all the time. You know it’s time to make a change.

When your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is perpetually alerted to be in a survival state (due to various life stressors) you might notice symptoms such as chronic fatigue, adrenal deficiency, perpetual irritability, trouble with sleeping, digestive issues, various mental health challenges and the list goes on. Holistic approaches to wellness that incorporate body-brain based therapy models get at the root of these issues and begin turning down the dial on your ANS so that you can live a longer, healthier life.

Everyone has a story. Some stories are happy and times of celebration, while others are disappointing and filled with grief. How is life defining you so far?

You deserve to create a life you love!

I assist people in finding ways to triumph over the difficulties of living in healthy relationships.

Growing up with a loving, but work-obsessed father has prepared me to assist with fathering issues.

I offer a compassionate, safe, and accepting connection in therapy that can help you begin to feel less emotional pain, less dwelling on the past, and less fear about the future.

*Please note: At this time my practice is full.* It's a time of overwhelm, and great uncertainty. Of change, and resistance. Many folks are struggling personally, and we seem to have little power to change the course of the current health crisis, or our political realm.

We must find hope where we can and continue to work for change both personally, in our communities, and in the world. I offer a sliding scale rate for private pay clients and am on several insurance panels. Contact me for more info.

Communication issues with your partner? Blended family feeling anything but blended? Afraid that your marriage is headed for a DIVORCE? Porn impacting your life? ...Life throws everyone challenges, fears, disappointments and transitions. You need resiliency, strength and wisdom to move forward successfully. Friends, family, and even pastors can't always provide the time, skills or knowledge to help you reach safe harbor when you feel like you are drowning.

I work with individuals and have experience with children, adolescents and adults. I believe that our society today has many demands that can lead to unresolved issues, severe life stressors and negative behaviors. Not everyone knows how to process this or make changes resulting in a loss of functioning in our lives. It isn’t always easy to ask for help, we are often taught to handle problems on our own, but you don’t have to do it alone. I hope you will give me the opportunity to help you regain functioning by providing you with effective coping strategies, a safe space to process difficulties in life and guide self-discovery.

Helping people struggling with ADHD and trauma is my passion. I see ADHD as a different way to see and learn, not necessarily a "disorder." I enjoy working with clients who are ready to find ways to increase their quality of life. Another focus of treatment is exploring unresolved trauma that impacts functioning. It's amazing how processing these events changes the way you react to stress. The difference is processing from the mid brain. Brainspotting is used to accomplish this necessary part of healing. It literally speeds up therapy. Let's talk and decide if it can help.
