Is your mind at peace? Or at your wit's end? If you’re challenged by substances, a behavioral addiction, or have a family member in addiction, chances are your mind is everywhere but at peace. I totally get it. Been there and overcome it. Using a mindful, compassionate and nonjudgmental approach I can help you learn how to gain a fresh perspective on the stressors in your life. Working together, not to "get by", but to thrive. Stress, no matter its origin, is not a fact of life you have to accept. You deserve a richer, fuller life, and the skills to find a peace of mind even in the midst of life’s storms, or pandemics.

I have specialized in the healing of trauma for the last 31 years through individual, group, couples work. My expertise is EMDR. After 18 years of using this tool I am still amazed at how profoundly and quickly clients heal from tremendous pain and struggles. EMDR is often considered to be used only and primarily for a discreet trauma like a car accident. In fact, however, EMDR is a tool that incorporates how the brain processes information every night during REM sleep. Since our brains have REM daily, EMDR is a magnificient way to address most of life's problems.

Some seasons of life are joyful such as the anticipation of a graduation, getting married or welcoming a new baby. Other times we find ourselves in a season of adversity and become overwhelmed by our circumstances. Profound disappointment sets in and we grieve our lost dreams and unmet expectations. During these more difficult seasons, we may develop negative beliefs about ourselves or the world around us that cause further suffering. It is my desire as a counselor to provide a compassionate space where one can wrestle with these negative beliefs and begin to see life through a more hopeful lens.

I believe in the power of healing through connection in a safe environment. The relationship between counselor and client is a high priority for me and my goal with clients is to provide a place where they feel supported and can discover potential solutions. I have a holistic mindset and strive to help clients build factors into their lives that promote wellness. My primary approach is through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a focus on the thoughts and feelings that feed into problematic behaviors. However, I believe that each client's struggle is unique and I adjust my approach accordingly.

You or your adolescent may be experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional sensitivity, relationship issues or difficulty focusing. I have extensive experience as a doctoral-level cognitive behavioral therapist and I believe helping individuals understand how their thoughts and behaviors contribute to intense emotions is key to mental health. Challenging unhealthy thinking and learning how to think differently can be very effective. I teach specific and diverse skills and coach people on using them in real-life situations. I often share behavioral management techniques to help clients gain control over repetitive or compulsive actions and reduce anxiety in feared situations.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou. It's so important for each of us to feel valued, appreciated and understood. I believe this applies to all relationships including the therapeutic relationship. My goal as a therapist is to work with you to provide support in times of distress and to assist you in finding your right path on your journey.
