Let’s find you holistic solutions to life’s stressors. Perhaps you simply need natural ways to cope with stress, improve mood/sleep, gain energy, find work-parenting-life balance, mental clarity and focus. But you are a soul living a physical life, and likely have lost touch with this aspect of self and your purpose for being. Anxiety, depression, burnout commonly result. You may no longer resonate with your life, and need more confidence to pursue your highest dreams. Worse, completely lost, you don’t even know who you really are. You wear a mask, feel like an imposter. I can help you feel the real you, often for the first time.

I sincerely want my clients to do and feel better and will do what it takes to help them achieve a status of well-being. I address therapy with a very down-to-earth concept which enables me and my clients to have a more productive therapist/client rapport. I realize that each client is an individual and should be treated as such from intake to treatment planning to discharge and follow-up resources. I am experienced in treating a broad range of psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, border line personality disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. I specialize in substance abuse and childhood trauma.

I believe that true healing happens when we look within ourselves and learn to accept who we are as a person. As we learn to minimize our weaknesses by recognizing our strengths, we grow in the process.

I have over 25 years in many different mental health and health settings helping clients overcome the ongoing effects of trauma. Or maybe you have tried to reach out for help before - but thinking about letting go of the ways you've learned to adapt and cope through the trauma and its after effects is a scary prospect! I get it, you want to feel better and to be healthier - mentally, physically and emotionally. But where can you safely turn for help?
