I love to use CBT, Person centered therapy, motivational interviewing and trauma focused therapy.
I aim to work with individuals who are both motivated and open to growth, but who also value efficiency, honesty, and a non-judgmental approach. That’s a great foundation for building a supportive and effective therapeutic relationship. The combination of valuing time and being committed to change speaks to a client who is ready to engage with the process, but also wants practical, actionable tools that can help them make tangible progress.

If you're reading this, you might be carrying something you've never said out loud. A struggle with porn or compulsive sexual behavior. A marriage in quiet crisis. The discovery that your spouse has been acting out, and the trauma that followed. Trauma from years ago that still shows up in your body, your relationships, your sleep. The kind of exhaustion no one around you sees because you keep performing on the outside. You don't need a lecture, a label, or a softer version of the truth. You need a place to tell the truth, do real work, and come out more whole than when you walked in.

Live the life YOU love, that you intentionally created! It may sound cliché, but my goal for everyone of my clients is for you to be the architect of your own life.

A lot of times we may have some obstacles such as past trauma, negative thought patterns or unhealthy relationships that have gotten us to this spot, and it is so very hard to break free at times. That is where I come in.

Starting therapy can feel uncertain—you might not know exactly what you need yet, just that something isn’t working the way it used to. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you can’t break, or carrying stress, anxiety, or past experiences that feel heavy.

I hear you. You feel on edge, anxious, or unsettled after what happened—an accident, medical experience, loss of loved one (or pet), or sudden terrible scare that your system hasn't been able to shake. Even if life looks "fine" on the outside, your body reacts as if something is still wrong. You want relief, clarify, and a way to feel calm and like yourself again without endlessly rehashing the past. You're looking for therapy that actually helps your nervous system reset and move forward.

When the pressures of daily life create distress, there is great satisfaction in finding a solution to lower your natural instinct of fear and anxiety. The main focus of my practice is to locate the limiting beliefs from your history, to free you from the contradictions that limit your growth and confuse you in relationships. The most important goal of therapy is to raise awareness regarding your natural inclination to react to negativity. When you are well anchored on the inside you will not emotionally react to an external challenge or threat.

You have made the brave decision to show up for therapy, to show up for YOU. I attempt to understand the world from the client's view; to give the most valuable healing gift: being heard. Together, we determine what is missing & what is important (the Why: purpose), how the client wants to find fulfillment (the What: set goals). We determine How we will know they are successful and can continue on their own (measures for termination). I've been a Chaplain. I counseled people living with schizophrenia, bi-polar, or addictions, and prisoners - exhibiting anxiety, depression, grief, identity disorders, impulsivity & trauma response.
