"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (Tao Te Ching). I know how hard that first step can be.

If asked to share the most valuable lesson learned from my 20 years of social work practice my answer would be that the person seeking treatment is far more than a list of symptoms. I continue to draw inspiration from the courage and resiliency of my clients and stand firm in the conviction that with treatment and support we all possess the capacity for healing and emotional health. I am a Certified Trauma Therapist through the ITR Training Institute in Morgantown, WV where I received advanced training in the Instinctual Trauma Response (ITR) model developed by renowned clinicians, Drs. Louis Tinnin and Linda Gantt.

I specialize in depression, anxiety and trauma, and the use of alternative psychotherapy approaches. (However, I do offer traditional approaches). These new psychotherapies are body-centered and mindfulness-based. In other words, we are more than our thoughts - we are our sensations, feelings and that something which is greater than the self, the transpersonal. These new psychotherapies work directly with client's moment to moment awareness of what is felt or sensed within the body. These felt sensed experiences are then processed through cognition which then allow for the opportunity of insight, change and healing.

Accepting new clients! Are you feeling like nothing is working? Tired of talk therapy? Done looping through the same patterns and limiting beliefs of "I am a burden/I am unworthy" leading to shame, guilt, depression and anxiety? By combining psychotherapy& Attachment Focused EMDR with energy medicine (EFT, Reiki, yoga/mindfulness),I can help you overcome these old ways of being while creating space for more joy and fulfillment. I offer a safe space to explore your phobias, fears, concerns and goals, while encouraging curiosity around your experience and to help build a life of deeper meaning and sense of connection.

Are you currently facing a sense of stagnation in your life, unable to see a clear path forward? Do you often find yourself in emotional distress, wondering why you keep reacting the same way? Are you experiencing somatic symptoms that seem connected to your emotional experiences? I am here to help you unravel these challenges and work through them together. I believe that we all have the capacity for healing and personal resolution within ourselves and can learn a great deal from our own inherent resilience from both our past and present. I strive to bring both authenticity and connection to all of our sessions.

I specialize in trauma &PTSD in adults often with childhood trauma. I also offer supervision, training and consultation. PTSD is a hidden wound that can hijack the mind and body. Common are feelings of shame, guilt, fear, sadness, anger, unwanted thoughts, feeling on guard, feeling distant from the joys in life, struggling with esteem, relationships and trust. Clients express a sense of profound "stuckness" accompanied by a disbelief that things could change or get better. But there's also a hope to hope- which can be scary but also brave. They want to get unstuck. They want calm. They want connection.

We all encounter challenges in our lives and sometimes require assistance in getting through a rough patch. I am honored to work with individuals seeking a compassionate, interactive and empathetic psychotherapist. By using a collaborative approach, we work together to identify limiting thoughts and beliefs and to reframe them allowing you to create a more empowering and enriching approach to life. With couples, I provide the safe, judgement-free- environment needed to resolve difficult relationship issues and enhance communication skills for you and your partner to use beyond the completion of therapy.

Are you struggling in relationships and feeling lonely and discontent? For over 20 years I have helped people to heal their past, learn to truly love themselves and to start living their best lives. I specialize in healing from narcissistic abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship dissatisfaction.

We all have a life to live, an unfolding story to tell, and crossroads to navigate. At times our journey follows a winding path that calls for realignment with purpose. Therapy can assist us in righting our path and bridging healthy connectedness to ourselves and to others, wherever we are in our personal or professional lives. Taking time with intention to devote to self healing is transformational. Leaving behind old patterns of thoughts and behaviors frees us to experience positive and new growth.
